Holy Crap, Hand build!!!

Hey, I have the exact same kind of scissors as this guy! Orange-handled Fiskars.... he really gets some work out of that router, huh. I'm glad he likes what he's doing, and I approve of the hand vs. machine ratio, but he's working very hard to end up with a kind of... ordinary guitar. (?) I'd personally rather have a Warmoth and 2,000 hours of practicing instead, but the world does need all kinds.

It's not always about the destination, sometimes it's about the journey.  :occasion14:
 
When he's using the handsaw cutting towards the base, which is in a vice, what's he gonna do when he gets there?  Flip it and start a new cut?  Nope.  They won't line up.  Flip it and start cutting up?  Nope, can't get the blade in there. 

I understand the advantage of small hand tools, files, hand drills, etc., but this is just stupid.  He even stops at one point because he's tuckered.  If he builds more than one....

But, usually it's about money or sex.
