In this episode, Ben works some more on the neck, getting rid of the sharp fret ends and making the players 'user interface' more playable. The neck carve also needs a little work. Moving on to the front and back pieces that he painstakingly cut by hand last episode. These pieces need to be cut to size, the edges made perfectly, and then jointed - without using clamps!

You asked and Ben will deliver...our eccentric (read insane) Luthier will be building an entire guitar out of a single piece of Mahogany! With hand tools only...maybe!
