Congratulations, Roger!!!!
@@DriftwoodGuitars don't you have set of clamps that are lowes branded name clamps lol just playing
I'm from a small, low income community in Appalachia and I'm moving back to teach guitar in an after school program at no cost to the students or their families. These tools and resources would help me keep my students instruments in good playing condition.
You're doing the lords work. ❤
I hope your program is doing well!
I’ve been teaching music at my counties Arts Council for 8 years now. The last year I’ve been in charge of keeping up all of the loaner stringed instruments. I’ve also been buying used stringed instruments that need repair and giving them away to our students when they’re ready. I could really use all of these items, not just for me, but to show my students how to maintain their own instruments. So if possible I’d love to enter for a chance to win this giveaway! Thank you for the awesome videos and information you give to all of us watchers!
I Will forfeit my entry in the giveaway to increase your chanses of winning.
@@fredrikhuhne474 thank you
I too will forfeit my entry to increase your chances of winning. I think this is a no-brainer... The tools should be presented to Michael to teach his class...
@@richmoeller7715 thank you 🙏🏻
I forfeit my entry for you as well!! Good luck!!
Aloha from Las Vegas! Stumbled across your channel...enjoy your candid approach to literally opening up the world of luthier and the skill and commitment to craftsmanship it takes. Years ago I started acquiring what people considered broken or throwaway instruments (guitars, ukuleles, mandolins). I'd clean up what I could, file this, glue that, play them awhile and then give away the gift of music to someone that showed interest. Always loved working with wood but raising 6 kids never really had the time to develop the skills or dedicate the time to it. Fast forward, last child finished education and moved on and now as a part time substitute teacher I find I have the time! The timing of your channel is perfect for this old guy learning new tricks. Thanks
Thanks for running your channel. I really appreciate the content! I have been passionate about guitar building since high school but after a failed apprenticeship and depression, I decided to change and focus on a sales job to eventually earn enough money to do this as a hobby and then hopefully that takes over. Due to getting cancer and many failed startup attempts I've recently just quit my sales job and I'm officially giving this a crack.
I'm 29 now and don't have a workshop and therefore have been using the local community workshop.
I have a small bench in my garage that I'm currently using to practice on a guitar restoration and I would love these tools. They will definitely help me finish my current project and kickstart this new endeavor.
I really appreciate you consideration!
Thanks so much,
Ben
I discovered your channel a couple of months ago---and have been fascinated watching you work on your guitars. The list of items you've included here are priceless for an old guitarist like myself--so let me thank you for going over them. Of course, I'd be delighted to receive these tools, whether I win them from you or buy them little by little on my own.
Guys!!! Thanks a TON for the kind words. I can co-sign on the Fret Guru tools. Bernie is a top notch guy. I've been using his files for years. The Stew Mac books on setups are gold as well.
We appreciate you guys always being so supportive!
Hell yeah man! Gotta support the team!
Super helpful! Thank you so much for putting this together. I want all of that!
Very informative for a new player. Thanks, Chris and Matt!
Just added stuff to my "Christmas Wish List" on Amazon. Thanks from the best mediocre rhythm guitarist in Parker County, Texas!
You guys are amazing absolutely perfect for guitar guys that tinker with everything. I'm really glad I found you guys, with the setup of guitars videos. Wanted to add to the positive messages of appreciation for your efforts, I've watched a bunch of videos very cool things I never knew about building guitars.
Great information guys, thanks for putting it together!
I'm just getting into lutherie, your videos have been so helpful!
Love it guy's, keep on helping us fix our guitars...blessings...
Awesome guys! Very informative for us beginners!!
I’d love this kit! I’m just now getting into guitar building waiting on my first wood delivery to start building the neck, watching you guys has been fantastic, thanks for all you share with us.
Can't express enough how much I greatly value your content. Thank you so much and keep it up!
Really enjoying your content. Please keep it coming! This was the perfect video for where I am at.. have a few guitars and a son learning.. these things will be helpful..
Good stuff guys! I appreciate your help and knowledge!
Player of 5 years here,
A little bit about me: I'm 18, from california, and the owner of 10+ different stringed instruments from 12 strings to a 1950s lap steel.
I've been learning and acquiring all the measuring equipment and cleaning products necessary when setting up my guitars or sometimes other peoples guitars. That Dan Erlewine book would keep me enthralled for many many hours. that neck rest would also make restringing my guitars a breeze to do.
I discovered your channel after youtube recommended that I watch you PRS deep dive video. From the first minute, I was hooked and subbed instantly.
I hope my comment gets picked, it would make my year as a player and as a tinkerer of my axes.
Thank you and have a great holiday season guys!
What a great list of luthier tools to get started and also to improve skill. I most definitely would love to have every single one of these tools! You guys earned my like and subscription for sure. Awesome content! Aloha!🤙🏽
Exactly what I need. Great job! Cheers!
Thanks for the list.... creating my Amazon Christmas list!!! Keep up the great work!
Love the channel fellas, keep up the good work! You guys are always so inspiring and so entertaining. I would love to get my hands on this stuff!
Love your videos and your guitars! I've learned so much from them. I'm also a purist when it comes to the acoustics and you've basically changed my worldview by the video about laminated sides. Keep up the great work!
Hey, I'm in for the stuff! Great video, thanks a lot, and wish you the best! Cheers 🤗
Hey i needed this..... great videos by the way. Keep them coming
Enjoy all your videos and want to build using your methods.and advice. Thanks !
Great video. I love tools and having the right thing for the job.
Definitely adding these to my list of essential tools. Thank you for the tips, and for creating the best guitar making channel on the 'tube.
Your channel has encouraged me to learn how to work on my own guitar. I’d love these tools! I’m enjoying your work so much that I’ve just joined you on Patreon. Keep up the amazing work!!!
Love the videos, and the information you share so freely! Looking forward to trying my hand at building an acoustic guitar within the next year or so. Learned a ton from you and all the other luthiers who are so generous to share their skill, knowledge, and inside tips. 👍🏻 it all looks so easy until you try it at home for yourself. We shall see! 😊
Super timely video for me. I’ve decided to start repairing more stuff during 2022 and hopefully building an acoustic during 2023. Thanks for the list and put me in the drawing!
Great video and really informative guys!
As usual great stuff form the Driftwood Guitar guys. I have been trying to gather information to scratch build a tenor ukulele including tools and materials. I think you have picked out perfect starter set of essential tools. Thanks. Keep on smiling.
That is a wonderful set of tools you've put together!
Great channel guys! Recently discovered yall, and always super good stuff.
This is great and so helpful as an aspiring builder!
Thank you Chris and Matt! I am contemplating my first refret and your tool recommendations are super helpful. I am soontobe luthier.
Guys! Love your channel! Been learning the craft for about a year now and have learned a ton from your vids. Thanks for your useful and collegial content!
Thanks for the suggestions. I need that book.
Lots to learn about fixing guitars! Glad for your channel
Great list. Thanks for the info.
Great video. Thanks guys.
I’ve been learning a lot from UA-cam videos since lockdown started, so finding you guys has been a Godsend. I’ve picked some stuff from StewMac but have a way to go. I’ve been working on some cheap guitars but finally got the nerve to tackle my Les Paul’s frets. They came out good. I was surprised and felt pretty proud that I did screw it up. I love hearing and experts opinion. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
Woah! That's a super helpful list, getting a care package of these would help immensely!
Great video! It made me realize I want that stuff!
Thank you for your great channel and sharing your knowledge to get others interested in guitar repair and building!
I just found you guys about a month or so ago. Been enjoying your fresh take on instrument repair/ evaluation/ straight-poopery. I’ve invested in a few tools, started ruining some things, can definitely use some of the confidence and encouragement you guys provide. I’ll throw in for a set of these babies.
Great reviews and advice, thanks guys ✌🏼
So I just bought a Taylor Academy 12 because of your video. I love the honesty and transparency of your channel. Such a great intro into these tools and the possibilities!
Inspired by your videos I fixed a friends guitar the other day. Having watched your set up video I'm thinking about servicing my factory built Martin. Keep up the good work.

Great kit to start up setting up your guitars. I would love to have a kit like this when I first started working on my guitars.
I especially enjoyed your video on tonewoods and have recently started working on guitars and other stringed instruments..this would be a great addition to the meager and generally crappy tools I've been working with. Thanks.
Good info. Had never considered picking up reference materials as part of my toolbox. Definitely gonna have to pick those up.
Loving the videos!
