Interesting stuff.

(WARNING - some of the accompanying muzak is dreadful).

Always a pleasure to watch craftsmen working.

Very pleasing to watch...but I added my own music after a minute or two

I enjoyed that, I even casted (?) it onto the big tele.

Very interesting, particularly the order of operations, gives me thought about my next build. I am surprised how much was freehand work. The other part of me was taken aback at the amount of high speed cutting tools without guards and the methods used. Wonder what the attrition rate on fingers, hands (and arms) is at the factory.

I liked it.

I'm surprised the 'ealth & Safety elf allows them to spread glue with a finger! And putting the pups in after stringing seems to be doing it the hard way, but hey it looks good at the end.
