Wow! He'll never sell all that together... I wish he'd split it up - I could do with some of that stuff!

You know, if you are "OCD" and just getting started, I can see where this package would make sense and is a decent value. Heck, he's got 18 watchers so I bet he gets close to this #. What gets me is how he could be sitting on this stuff and not want to get started, lol. Heck, most of the stuff I have is about 2 years old and already looks like it's a decade at least.

Looks like he got involved in one of those luthier forum guitar making cults. At some point he realized he didn't have what can't be bought. Sad...

That's exactly what I thought. If he did split it up he would have no problem selling all of it but then postage from Slovenia might be high.

Interestingly, with all that stuff in there, he's still missing a few tools I think he'd need.
Like nut slot files, a six inch steel rule, truss rod, truss rod adjustment tools, straight edges of various lengths, screw drivers, mini-vise.....
He's missing quite a few of the basics.

Looks like, in the words of Samuel Johnson, " Triumph of hope over experience." But Mr. Johnson was rferring to second marriages rather than lutherie.

Seems pretty high to me. I guess if I was to add it up I might be surprised

For that kind of money I would expect a lot more clamps.

Over the years I have picked up a lot of good stuff from these getting out of their hobby sales. Like Filippo said prices seem high. Some people think they have a chance of getting what they paid retail for their stuff since it's either still unused or slightly used..Mike
