Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1 and Ben's home workshop. You asked and Ben will deliver...our eccentric (read insane) Luthier will be building an entire guitar out of a 4x4 Fence Post.
In this episode, Ben takes a few road trips preparing for this build. A watch factory and the Ashmolean Museum, as well as thevintagetoolshop.com for necessary hand tools, which it seems he did not have in that home workshop! Any excuse for another tool.
