I have a Chris Larkin guitar and I love it. As I’m a lefty i got him to make me one as you know there are not that many good lefty guitars on sale it most stores. It was great being able to pick the woods myself and call in during the making process as i live in Kerry. He is dearly missed. Keep up the great work.

This channel gave me the confidence to fix a guitar that was given to me broken, and has been sitting in a corner for 15 years. After about a week it has strings and is living its best life again. I've never been so infatuated with a youtube channel as I am this one.

Quite right. There are many fine Irish builders who don't get enough exposure. Maybe they are all standing in the shadow of Lowden, who more or less defined a particular style of Irish guitar (albeit from the north)

Yeah, I like how he works too. I binge watch after a good break from him and then settle in with a tea or a coffee and absorb the Intel. Then I binge watch another woodmonger for a bit. This guy is easy to listen to and he does as wonderful a job as only an experienced guy can without making it boring. If I lived in the area still, I would surely try to visit him as I do a bit of building and repairing myself.

Every species has it's own distinctive aroma. Working with several types of wood gets you familiar pretty quickly. It's one of those skills that looks like magic from the outside looking in, but really it's as easy identifying cooking spices with your eyes closed. But still, it does display his experience and knowledge. He always exhibits the tell tale signs of legitimacy in each video. This is so my favorite channel.

@@videopeaberry @Phil Proteau As 5 years a framing carpenter then 20 years a trim carpenter then 10 as cabinetmaker with a little bit of shipwrighting mixed in, I know all to well the aromas of woods esp, much to the chagrin of my wife, waking with sawdust in our bed. My point being was, it was a crack in a piece of 1/4" wood barely open a millimeter and Todd caught the scent from where he was standing without putting his nose to it Now, that is a remarkable sense of smell. It must be from a lifeline of breathing the clean Canadian air.

This video felt like “work a day” examples, interesting repairs none the less. I thought the guitar playing in this video had a little extra umph to it as well, very nice, I particularly enjoyed the last piece. Dry guitars are real! Hard to believe someone would disagree. Back in the ‘80’s I bought a 58 Guild T100 in Arizona and it slowly came apart during the 10 years I owned it. I wasn’t interested in repairs back then and I passed it on to a friend who was doing repairs at the time, kinda wish I had it now, I’ve learned a little about the subject and could bring it back to life now. Ah well...

As a Floridian who lives pretty close to Georgia, I can confirm that the humidity levels here are pretty consistent in a modern-ish home. Usually between 50-60%. Funnily, the inside humidity tends to rise in the colder months; the heat only really kicks on at night, but it stays cool enough during the day that we don’t need to run the air. Outside humidity works its way in when the HVAC isn’t running to remove it. Contrary to most places, I only really have to turn on my dehumidifier in the coldest months of the year. I’ve had it get up to 75% on cold, rainy days.
