Thanks Erithon, It’s easy to get lost in writing about how much I like a good hand tool because well, once figured out they are quite lovable tools. However, there are actual end product quality improvements that come with using these tools properly and appropriately. I hope to show what some of improvements are.

As a woodworker, I agree with you about Lie-Nielsen tools. Nearly flawless. I would also add Veritas to that description. In fact Veritas might even be a little more innovative. I’ve invested in both (and at their prices it is an investment) and love them. Good tools make any work a pleasure.
Keep coming with your progress. Great choices of wood. It should be a beautiful guitar.

Thanks for commenting Jack. I agree with you that Veritas runs toe to toe with Lie Nielsen and may even have an edge in some areas on different tools. If they are close I’ll go with Lie-Nielsen in most cases. This is mainly because of Lie-Nielsen’s strong customer support and the fact they are so close to me. What I order today, I’ll get tomorrow. It’s an easy car ride for me to get to their show room where I can talk shop and try out any of the tools they make (once we get past this pandemic and their shop reopens). That’s a tie breaker for me in most cases
