I've been in the studio for 2 days now and we have shot a lot of film for my upcoming DVD on neck carving using hand tools. Here is a very short clip showing knife skills using my shop-made carving knife and a sweet piece of 30 year old mahogany....
The 120 videos I used to have up on YouTube provided great training for this shoot which is going very well, if not tiring me out completely each day. We are hoping to have a 'wrap' on Friday. The long process of editing, cleaning - occasional intrusive noise from overhead aircraft and producing then begins in earnest with a hopeful release date in late Summer/early Autumn.
If all goes well this will be the first in a series of DVDs dedicated to luthier skills...I am planning the 2nd one now and it will be on shop made tools, template and jig making using the table router.
