That was very interesting. Nice craftsmanship. It could be called "How to Build a Guitar in 1,000 Easy Steps". I could do that, but, I don't want to.

very cool video -i have seen it before. take the mechanics of it with a grain of salt though. this is a mid-career master craftsman with a large shop, employees, discerning clientele, and capital. the reality (imo) of 90% of us to achieve this level of manufacture puts this video into the "i wish i could... someday" class. while the tools and techniques on display are interesting, there isn't anything really new going on here. just solid craft.
but,,, what i do find to be the most important and valuable message here is his serious dedication to quality and attention to workmanship. this is a guy who knows what he wants and knows what it takes and stops at nothing to get there. this i think is the most important takeaway lesson from the video -imo, how to actually be a successful luthier. as a side note, there is a post up on another forum regarding what level of tolerances to aim for when hand thicknessing tops, backs, and sides. apparently, the general forum consensus is, "plus or minus 5 or 10 thou or so" is considered acceptable. to me, most certainly not -and as seen by Mr Greenfield's craft ethic, not to him either.

This is another good video from Goodall.
If you want to check out someone building one from scratch that is a totally unique design, check out Susan Gardener's acoustic build series on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umZhQFIZFLg
