That's a cool channel. Thanks.

Come on folks I know there is more great spaces to show.
It's a damn mess, that's wot it is...

That's it Shane?!? That's the workspace which makes the Magic? But then again, I wonder what Stradivarius' workshop was like.
Yah buddy that's what I'm talking about. Can't find the top from all the ----
You guys forget one thing...I'm a HACK BUILDER. I'm not some super-pro luthier like the rest of y'all. I was originally just a fan of the Delta blues that wanted to find music that one one...step...deeper than the Delta. My cigar box guitars are simple. They're stick thru boxes. If challenged, I can have one built, varnished and strung up within 3 hours.

But damn, there ain't nothing...NOTHING...like a primal 3 string cigar box guitar. They're so magical, they almost creates its own mythos as you play em.

I have more to my woodshop than in my pic (table saw, ban saw, scroll saw...others) but the main area is an old salvaged desk with my shit strewn all over it.

Merry Christmas you sick freaks. Gawd, I love hangin' out with you guys.

You make them, they sell you make money. money = luthier. The pride, and craftmanship you put into them makes you a pro luthier.
