Official Luthiers Forum!

This is a slideshow documentary (with some great music to accompany it) of my first guitar build. For some reason I felt compelled to put this together since you only build your first guitar once. I put this up on youtube in 6 parts. Here is the link to part 1( the remaining 5 parts are also up) Hope you enjoy! Dennis Wojcik

Thank you for taking the time to put this up! I also love to document my work, even mistakes, always hoping that someone will either avoid my mistakes or be inspired to try to make something of their own. I see this kind of documentation as much a labor of love as the build itself (without the sawdust and occasional blood)

nice!

cool video thanks for taking the time to document the build.

Nice presentation, photo work and guitar, you must have the worlds largest collection of clamps. Cool music in the background, I also like Celtic fingerstyle and play a little, but am more into Blues and the modern percussive styles. Have you heard Tony McManus, my favorite Celtic guitarist ?

A series of photos for a cello builder is what first got me started and is still my favorite way to learn from others (unless I can actually be there). Must be the visual artist side of me! I always appreciate it when folks do more documentation with vids, pics or other visual aids. Thanks!!!

Thanks for all the kind words! And Fred, yes I attended a workshop Tony did in N.C. Wow! He's awesome! Dennis
