Repair videos are amazing. Building new is awesome, but restoring history hits harder for some reason.

You know you're watching a Master when he makes it look so easy you say to yourself, "Wow! I could do that!"

Repairing 50 year old Gibsons is like keeping classic cars on the road. Its lovely to see these videos.

Videos like this are great, and the more detail the better. I love seeing an older instrument be brought back to life.

I really liked the "Fordam tool" used on the inlay of the bridge. A very useful tool to be sure.<br><br>Success! You restored the sound right across the range. Excellent job.

It's heartening to see a craftsman who takes such care and pride in his work. I could watch these all day long. Well done.

I watched the entire thing. Over 19 minutes, I don't think I breathed more than once.
