In 1979 Kevin had a shop in Highland Creek (now part of Scarborough). He was going to build three guitars patterned after a Gibson CF-100 with a few Martin touches added in, and I decided to buy one (H2 "c"s) I would drop into the shop periodically and watched blocks of wood being transformed into masterpieces. I'm so glad I bought it and glad to see its sister brought back to life.

I met Kevin years ago when I toured his shop near Rockingham, ON. It was after the fire in Barry's Bay, and Kevin had all the burnt guitars - it was enough to make you cry. Even the least damaged of them was unusable due to the smell. He was making Ukes at the time, but several Valley 'Grass members owned Timberline guitars, and they were all great. Nice to see this survivor tuned up!

Your videos are always: entertaining, and educational. Not an easy thing to do. I am not a repair tech, nor a luthier, just a player, who admires craftsmanship. I'm sure that newer luthiers/repair techs benefit greatly from you explanations of why your are doing, what you are doing, and more importantly, what not to do. Thanks for this latest video. Keep up the great work.

Exellent video, very interesting. I have a small workshop and live in a small town in the UK. I have built up a modest customer base over the years but i have been working with wood all my working life. I'm a Pattern maker by trade, making moulds for Ferrous and non ferrous castings so Carpentry has always been with me and it's transfared over to guitars which i have played even longer since i was about 7. Myself and the other person who works with me have come up with our own method of seperating the necks, like you say though it's not just my idea to diseminate , we made a tool and it's been working far better than we ever could have hoped. Again with electric. I know your probably sceptical but you will find out in time. We spent a lot of time and fair expense looking into and making a prototype. We now are confident that we have a tool for the job. All being well i'll be able to explain how and what in the very near future. Your an inspiring individual as it's great to see a good Luthier at work.

Very interesting and revealing points of physics around the bridge; thanks, as ever. I realise you may want to keep some secrets and may have edited out the relevant piece but I would like to share, that when using long, delicate drill bits, it is best to start with standard and increase the length in stages. This removes a great deal of breakage risk.We did this when drilling rock with far larger but proportionally similar bits. If you watch under a strobe or fluorescent light, a bit with too much unsupported shank shows up like a twanged guitar string and fails due to fatigue.

Another thing to ad is as soon as you feel the flutes of your drill bit pack up pull it out to clear the chips.

This is an amazing channel. I've been watching of ton of videos here lately and I've got to say it's the best luthier work I've seen. My interest in doing repair work is growing, and I've done a little work on my guitars in the last couple years, most notably replacing all the electronics on a cheap semi hollow I bought to practice on. I've done a little fret work and two precut nuts, but I need nut files to make them perfect. Once I do that I want to cut my own. I've been an auto tech for 15 years and now work as a tech in a start up, so I have no hesitation in working on things mechanically. But I have almost zero wood working knowledge or experience. Where's a good place to learn more, especially the wood repair work? I'm 45 and am thinking about doing repair work in retirement, so I have a good 20 years to learn!
