- This production in general was such a creative challenge; guitar, filming, editing, organising delivery, travelling there and giving it to its new home. I cannot explain how lucky I feel to share this all with you and to bring you in to such a special part of my job that you wouldn’t normally see.
I’m also so excited to present my client with this full record of his build, for him to enjoy. What a blast!
Lastly but not leastly, thank you all for watching.
If you watched right to the end, I hope you enjoyed the very cute personal story I dropped in for the last few seconds. I have a lot to thank this guitar for!

Thank you all for the overwhelming response. You’re all amazing. Thank you for watching. I’ll post a tracklist beneath a little later for those asking about the music. Thank you all so much ❤
Great build and video. As an amateur woodworker I struggle wearing hearing protection, and eye protection at same ... in the US the ear muffs did into the eye glasses making them hurt and the noise protection reduced. You were wearing something that had a better design, what brand did you buy/use? Without watching I wouldn't have known how long it takes to hand make a guitar .., Wow way more than I would have guessed.
Thank you Daisy, beautiful piece of art, very talented luthier where have you been all my life. Ha ha. 😊
It would have been so funny if he'd turned around and said. "Oh sorry, have you got one in green?"
Daisy I spent some time over my life in Himalayas in Nepal,, Kumaon and Himalayan foothills , Himachal Pradesh and the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan and the range of different trees, woods and their ages is fascinating. There was an awful strong earthquake in Nepal since that destroyed The Monkey Temple in Kathmandu and Everest Base Camp amongst many places. Some very old trees would've been taken down and certainly there is some old Deodar Himalayan cedar amongst the woods but sadly is Brits cut much of the cedar down for building railways but some of the trees and wood including pine type trees which grow at higher altitude being near the tropic of cancer. I always loved observing the beauty around whether it was the fauna, flora, geology, history or culture. I love your fabulous attention to lutherie and clearly you have a deep love of anything connected to stringed instruments, the history of them and the different types of stringed instruments whether it's a sarod, lute, sitar and the historical, cultural history of the different places. There are certainly some amazing old relics etc to research and inspire. Thank you for your wonderful information and it's wonderful to see a lady doing such amazing work especially when your tourettes isn't a barrier to your excellent work. God bless you.
What a great unique bespoke one off guitar where the wood and pure love of your craft and genius is shown here. When I look at Lowden or top makers and the prices, how can you value it? The sustain and clarity of the sound is unique and your clients delight and kindness is great to see and I've enjoyed this immensely. I have a couple of old violins I love but they're not of any greatness but sound good as does my pawnbroker Yamaha APX6 of 1993. The preamp is broken but it plays and sounds good but no relation to yours but for £40 I'm very happy and enjoy working with metal, wood but I do mosaic art from stone in skips of stonemasons and broken china, CDs coloured glass or anything where I can imagine creating a coffee table, frame for mirror , picture for example but it's so different to you but can take a long time to finish. Thank you Daisy and I look forward to seeing your future projects.
As a professional craftsman for over 20 years I'd like to say what a beautiful job you did on both the instrument and the accompanying video. You should be extremely proud of both art forms which you have breathed life into. I have never built a guitar but I have, a few times, felt the profound and emotional sense of accomplishment which you describe, when finally a project wrought with blood sweat and tears lay before you in it's entirely finished form. What an honor it should be to own something that this much mana went into.
There will be no sweat with this equipment. .) 🤣
I am not a musician, I am not a woodworker or craftsman of any kind. I have no idea where this video came from but I just spent an hour watching a girl make a guitar and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you RUclips for sharing and thank you Daisy Tempest for being you 😊
I was reading your comment and when you said "I just spent an hour" I was what? and then I looked and SOB it was an hour long hahaha. Didn't realize it
WOW !!
side-note: She's a grown woman, by the way... I only mention this because you claim you thank her for being herself.
This and addressing her as "girl" just makes no sense!
(Edit: A sense at least I want not to think about ...)
@ I take it that your first language isn’t English? I call my mom a girl because she’s a female, thankfully people for being themselves is a perfectly acceptable thing to do. Apologies for offending you so deeply with my comment…
I am so glad that there are still young people who are willing and dedicated to producing such highly skilled workmanship. You are a credit to your generation.
It’s with a lot of trades. I’m a master mason. Have been flown all over the world to work on heritage listed sites. In the last couple of years CNC stone carving has taken off. Replicating far more accurate and 10 times cheaper works or repair pieces.
My last apprentice was in 2002. Teenagers just don’t want to work.
My father is a master craftsman, furniture builder in his 80s. It’s taken him a lifetime to reach such heights. I’m blown away that someone so young has achieved so much skill. Well done.
I suffer from severe chronic depression for decades and therefore lost the ability to concentrate / focus on something for a longer period of time.
When i got this video in my recommendations i wondered if i can watch this 56 minutes video. Turned out i could and it was a *joy* to follow the build process.
Craftsmanship to the finest, the filming, the editing, the music, the explanations, the materials and the meticulous work with / on them, the skills and knowledge involved ...
A documentation that turned into a work of art. The guitar *and* the video. Thank you Daisy !
You never expect when you start watching this kind of craftsman video that you end up crying and wanting to give the luthier a hug..... but here we are.
Daisy your work is absolutely unbelievable and you are such a beautiful soul. Thanks for sharing something so personal.
I am right there with you. I got emotional., also. She Is a beautiful soul with endless talent making art.
What an amazing talent, you pour your heart into your work and it shows!
On a more personal note, I showed this video to my 11 year old son, who also has tourette and he was so encouraged by you openly sharing it and being an example that there are no limitations to what he can achieve, thank you. Wish you much continued success, health and happiness.
👍🏻🙂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That is one super piece of craftsmanship! I think some people find it difficult to accept how a person as young as she looks to be able to accumulate all the knowledge, skill, patience and dedication to produce such a piece of art! I was stunned!
"Wow, why is this even on my feed". Then I watched the whole thing and was just blown away by the craftsmanship. Beautiful work.
This young lady has a beauty in her heart that shines out through the instruments she creates. Making the world a better place. One guitar at a time.
I clicked this with the intention of skipping through and catching segments since it's late. Quickly learned I didn't want to miss any part of the video. It's well worth the lack of sleep to watch this. The sound and ringing sustain that work of art produces gave me goosebumps. I'm at a loss for the adequate words to describe how incredible your creation really is. Unbelievably well done.
Couldn't have said it better.
literally same here
As a guitarist who has gotten on in age, your chronicle of this amazing build filled my heart with joy. To see a lovely young lady take to such a challenging vocation and executing it so beautifully and lovingly. I put my heart into playing and composing, I know you will do the same. I try to encourage young folk with a thought you already embody...You can do anything you want and it is really so simple. Decide what you want to do and then learn how to do it. It sounds almost silly, but you are the living proof. Thank you for bringing us along.
Full disclosure, when I first clicked, I thought the title might be clickbait, especially given your age-craftsmen usually take a lifetime to reach this level! But wow, what an instrument. The sustain on this guitar is unreal, and the attention to detail in every step of the build truly shines. Your care for the craft and your choice of materials reflect an artistic vision that makes this guitar worth every penny. I hope you're able to take a moment to truly be proud of yourself, not just the build. I thought I’d just skip through, but I ended up watching the entire video. You've definitely earned a new subscriber!
My gosh! As a guitarist for the past 45 years, I’ve owned top acoustic models from Guild, Martin, Taylor, Larrivee, Gibson, and Yairi. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are unparalleled. This guitar is truly a work of art of art and you are an insanely gifted luthier and artist! I have never seen a more beautiful instrument in my life!!
Not to mention the story in the materials. Hopefully old growth is never smuggled out of our national parks, but what an honor to have that spruce piece for the top. I hope beyond everything this isn't some rich dude picking up a hobby, and this guitar ends up collecting dust somewhere with the same strings on it when it was delivered. It would beyond criminal.
As a craftsperson, a musician and creative myself, I found this entire video absolutely beautiful. The heart and soul put into crafting the instrument. The heart and thoughtfulness of the materials selection. The absolute attention to detail. The videography. The soundtrack. Just everything. And I too teared up a bit at the end with you. Something about the journey and the way you felt about passing off a bit of your heart to the client, Robb, came through in the video and I shed a few tears with you. Simply beautiful. Bravo from Texas! Bravo!
Ha. I used to be an Oil City police officer.
I have been a machinist doing very high tolerance work since the early 90's and I very much appreciate every step you have showed us in your process. You Lady, are an artist.
"a balloon is good for stopping the finish going inside the instrument but it also means you can have a party at short notice" Quote of the year by Daisy Tempest.
Yes, lol, that made me laugh too. This girl is wonderful.
Uh so……. this chick came out of nowhere in my feed and just completely crushed every other guitar builder ive seen on youtube. Great entertaining video making as well.
Same. I've never heard of her before, but holy crap. She is a master of her craft.
RIGHT!!?? Same experience for me!
You said it spot on. The video is so well done and emotionally connected. If there are better builders out there, this girl still hangs with them and just inspired me to tears holding and playing her creation at the end before delivery. I hope the owner takes care of that part of her soul she put into that guitar. I would love to hear it in person- I'm in Sarasota just south of Tampa. Just found this girl and would love to do a follow-up.
My thoughts exactly
same here. cant even play guitar. what a great video and what a great lady :)
I don’t know how you could ever part with a creation like that. It would be like giving away a child. I’d go broke because I’d want to keep every guitar I created. I’m so jealous that you get to do what you do as your livelihood, creating functional works of art that will live on for hundreds of years. You’re an absolutely beautiful young woman creating masterpieces every day. You’ve been blessed.
36 grand probably helps!
I cried too, after watching every second of this piece, and noting the numerous comments following and realizing how many folks were affected by your acheivement in a marvelous way. You gave so many a wonderful experience, from those with chronic depression to someone with Tourretes. I am merely a romantic, and a mediochre piano player, but you have given me meaning to pursue my dream with vigor. Thank you ,indeed!
Every once in awhile, youtube will through something like this at me. If I am in the mood I will click on it.
Am I ever glad I clicked on this. I can't belive I just watched an hour of guitar building and am left wanting more.
That was an incredible journey, thanks for taking me along.
I'm hear through an LMNC video. I've been watching him for years but YT never once suggested a luthier channel after. Guess they were just holding out for the best one to arrive. This is really top-notch content.
Wonderful video! My grandfather was a fine cabinet maker. He learned his skill in Switzerland at a young age (14). He traveled from Cossato Italy spent long periods in Switzerland. Anyway I loved watching him build things. Watching you with all those tools brought back great memories. Thank you!
Zzzzzzzzz. So glad to hear you were able to "bring back" your memories. That's what it's all about . . . you and your memories. J-F-C, people.
Boy, that instrument sounds forever. What a special piece of art.
What a beautiful instrument you imagined, you created, you nurtured, you loved. We love it too. Your client Rob knew what he was doing when he selected you to build his guitar.
Sounds "forever" is just weird, preceding it with "Boy" induces cringe.
@johnsmith1474 - If I may translate: "Sounds forever" refers to an impressive degree of resonance and sustain. "Boy" is just a quaint exclamation of admiration or surprise, more popular in earlier times (no reference to anyone's gender here). The compliment is well-founded, in my opinion.
Dude, my thoughts exactly! Do you even call it sustain when the strings just never stop ringing?
@ChrisKoe - Well, since you asked... sounds from an acoustic guitar or piano, etc. naturally decay to silence after plucking or striking the string(s). Energy stored in vibrating string(s) dissipates gradually but relatively quickly. To provide some control, a piano has a sustain pedal, for example. However, instruments that have a more constant energy source (electric, wind, or bowed instruments) may have much longer note durations, depending on each note in a song. The player "holds" the note(s), though, in this case, rather than the instrument's sound having a natural decay.
Imagine all the songs this guitar will play, and all the people who will listen to it, over the decades, perhaps even centuries it will exist. Marvelous.
@@RicardoUrquiza_music- You never know. He may have bought it as a gift to someone special.
He seems to quite gracious and appreciative.
This young lady was born, and she wasn't made. What an amazing young lady, too. Like many of the comments that have gone before me. It is just amazing to see this lady passionate and deeply caring about what she does and the skills she has. This is a fantastic watch. Thank you so, so much for posting x.
My late father was a woodworker and furniture maker. Watching this video brought back a lot of memories and made my Sunday brighter. Thanks for this!
I found this video very moving. I've been playing for about forty plus years. The experience of holding a fine instrument in one's hands, and playing it, is both satisfying and humbling at the same time. Clearly this is a stunning instrument hand-crafted by a dedicated and talented young luthier. Gorgeous work, Daisy. Truly a breath-taking instrument. I'm certain I'd have been in tears, had I been the client/recipient of this amazing instrument and would gladly play it for the rest of my life, with great joy and a sense of thankfulness to the one who painstakingly built it for me. Thank you so much for posting this video. Huge respect.
Agreed. We have Bluesman Vintage Guitars near me.
Tiny shop. Everything is made in house and the attention to detail is staggering.
Detailed builds feel like nothing else, and often quickly justify the price tag.
BMV charges $3000 up for a tele copy.
Play it for 10 seconds and you know why.
I've played guitar for far more years than I haven't. This was honestly one of the most entertaining hours I've spent in my life. Vince Lombardi stated that, "You cannot achieve perfection, but if you strive for perfection you will achieve excellence." You, Milady, have achieved perfection. Thank you for posting this.
You clearly weren't listening to her philosophy concerned wood crafting and guitar making
I wish somebody would look at me the way Daisy looks at that wood…
Exquisite guitar, Daisy. Congratulations!
I always love to see when someone puts so much love into a project without making any compromises. Until recently, I also enjoyed working with wood. And I was always fascinated by working with hand planes or chisels. So it is a particular joy for me to see that practically no hand sanders are used here. Properly sharpened scrapers, planes and chisels are always superior to a hand sander. I also think the extremely careful selection of the wood is great. Thank you for drawing my attention to your channel.
That is the most wonderful vid I've seen in a long while. Handing over that beautiful guitar to a guy who really does appreciate what he has taken ownership of is a tearful moment. That guitar has your craftswomanship in it, but more important, there is not just you inside it, but your soul. And it will be there forever. He is one lucky chap.
The ending had me in tears.
Same here 🙂
That has got to be the most beautiful instrument I've had the privilege of watching be born. Thank you, Daisy.
After 50 years of playing guitar I started a guitar build of a StewMac kit guitar about five years ago. I put the project on hold because of helping my parents with health problems. My father passed away last year and my mother this June and now I am back working to finish the guitar. I understand how much time it takes and how much of yourself you put into a build. I find it a very meditative process. Thanks for sharing your work in these videos. It is helpful.
I’m on my 3rd StewMac guitar and am blown away by how easy she makes it look. Even after doing it twice, there are parts of the process that are completely baffling to me (especially getting the neck to fit the way it did in her video).
49:50 Actually, you're transporting things quite well. In the video you can see the passion and dedication that you put into every single movement. Every stroke of the plane. Every grip of the wood. After a job like this, the workpiece is definitely a part of you.
Girl. You're a legend! The sustain on this beast is just sick!
This is not a simply guitar build, is a jurney, a story, about passion. Congratulation!
I am blown away by this Daisy! I was crying at the handover. That guitar is a medium for your very soul, now shared with another.
Me too. Well said.
@@pkane5472 👍
As a musician and woodworker, I completely relate to your feelings on completing that masterwork. Going through music theory in school, it was all very mathematical, almost clinical. But when we started playing, it was about feeling, about emotion, about the invisible, yet somehow palpable propagation of one's hopes and dreams to every ear who hears the music. Music is that magical language that speaks to everyone, regardless of culture or origin. So, as a luthier, building something like this guitar is akin to birthing something mystical and wondrous into the world. It can be as emotionally painful as it is joyous, and a little piece of your soul will always live within that piece, a little bit of your voice singing with each chord. It's a beautiful thing and I enjoyed watching it come to life. Congratulations, to you and your client.
I was sat talking with a friend today about admiration and realising how rare it is that I find anything to admire in most people. Yet here,
the craftsmanship; the dedication; the video; the background music; the narration; the attention to detail … I admire it all. I watched and enjoyed every minute. But I think most of all, I admire the ability to exchange it for a sum of money (a princely sum mind, but a sum nonetheless), because I live in a house surrounded by things that I’ve made, and for many of them, letting go while I’m still alive would be out of the question. Thank you, it was truly a pleasure.
You see the spirit of a person in their work. She's touched every inch of this piece. Endeavoring to make it flow. Wood sourced from around the world.
And the final product looks so simple, like it was meant to be and so it is.
This is what I mean about it being a spiritual experience.
It's like, the athletes who train for many years, and have that final moment when they triumph.
The burden lifted, and this beautiful thing accomplished.
What's most interesting to me is that all of those specific video's you've made in the past, all come together in this big video. I've watched your video's about quarter sawn, moon-spruce, bending wood and how you use your planes and all of a sudden this video has an extra depth. I'm only 17 minutes into the video, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Wait till the end, it will bring you to tears.
Ah Daisy - great to see you wearing all your masks and protecting your health. So many men don't bother and regret it later!! Over 3 decades of working as a builder with noxious dusts, I tried to always wear my masks (a pain the heat in Australia in summer), and so far so good. My dear brother-n-law, in the same trade for the same amount of years never bothered. He now has COPD and his lung function is down to 19%. I have a younger friend I always tell him to mask up, but he's still young and doesn't bother - he'll regret it one day.
So true, I'm bothered by various dust allergies and lung ailments from not wearing masks. Please continue to do so.
My grandfather died of lung cancer. He did all sorts of wood work, model building, jewelry, etc. professionally for many decades. I remember him taking pieces of celluloids/bone/exotic woods and just cutting them on a bandsaw then going to the sander. He died in his mid-60's. A real craftsman and genius. He did smoke and everyone assumed it was that, but I believe his work is the real culprit, with the PallMall's not helping at all. It was later in my life that I found out how toxic all this stuff was. We did the same thing as him as KIDS in wood shop in the 70/80's!
...especially MDF material which can release fomaldehyde ( a known carcinogen)
Some woods are a lot more noxious than others.
@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Correct. Our Tasmanian Blackwood, down here in Auss, is apparently one of the worst. Also, bamboo is not too flash either.
Thank you, Daisy, for sharing your amazing talent. Your creation is a thing of beauty. Thank you, Robb, for allowing us to share in your instrument. I am so grateful to watch you on your journey. ❤👏👏
My grandfather started teaching me woodworking when I was 7. I started playing guitar in my teens, so the emotional aspect of this was at the forefront the entire video. The care, the precision, the expression you put into this build was incredibly evident. My eyes started to get a bit teary around 30 min in. I hope someday you will be able to understand the emotion you do portray to us. Thank you for sharing this piece of you.
This is the best guitar build video I’ve seen in a long time. As a Norfolk boy now living in NZ, your humour and approach and the emotions you display around your builds hit me watching this and made me think of the home country. A truly stunning instrument Daisy. Really well done. Wishing you all the best.
Without a shadow of doubt the best Guitar build I have ever seen on RUclips. Your dedication to your vocation is remarkable. A simply stunning Guitar. Thank you for posting this vid. Your client could not have purchased a better Guitar. It is superb.
Daisy, thank you for sharing the birth of this wonderful instrument with us. Three thumbs up: awesome Video, Guitar and Craftsmenship 👍👍👍
That guitar has the most beautiful sustain I believe I have ever heard. I can only imagine what it sounded like in person. Wonderful build!!!!
The last note really does linger on for quite some time, it’s beautiful.
100% agree with you, the note bloom is strong, I'm such its such a treat to play.
Can't imagine how amazing it sounds in person...in the video each note rings like a brass bell. Beautiful instrument!
I was a craftsman at a young age, and I have a great appreciation for your apprenticeship and then for moving forward with your details and hard work! I enjoyed watching every step of the workmanship that you shared. That alone was a big challenge! Best wishes on you finding your dream and sharing it with those who appreciate it!
This is the type of content that social media should be about. Absolutely amazing. Im now going through the other videos. What a talent.
Unbelievable. But this is obviously the best RUclips video that I have ever seen. Hands down. You are a magical person who produces dreams. Robb is a wise and fortunate man. The guitar? The guitar. I don't know what to say. Speechless. You are an absolute amazing artist. A luthier at the finest level. Truly incredible.
Hopefully this was the first thing that Robb grabbed up when he was forced to evacuate from hurricane Milton.
This could have been the best video I've watched on RUclips in a long time! Amazing job young lady!
I am blown away by the work you do, Daisy. You are so special and a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you for this video.
Amazing and impressive work. A true artist.
It's so nice to see and hear, something made by hand. You certainly have a beautiful passion for your trade and it shows in your work womanship. Enjoy and keep at it!
Crying over this wood is authentic, painfully authentic Daisy. You have the most compelling content.
This has been my first experience with you & guitar building. Your work is beyond “craftsmanship”, that instrument is a work of art. I believe it takes a beautiful soul to create as you have done, a masterpiece to endure generations. Thank you 🙏
Daisy, I am without words, almost. Nothing I can say will do justice to level of craftsmanship I just witnessed. I became emotional right along with you at the end. For someone so young to be at this level is something I've never encountered, until now. I'm completely blown away by the meticulous attention to detail, the dedication and time to complete such a complex and one-of-a-kind guitar build. Absolutely breathtaking. You, my dear, are nothing short of amazing! How did you become so knowledgeable and skilled at your craft? I truly want to know. Thank you for the experience you took me on today. Even the cinematography and sound was done so professionally. Incredible, truly incredible.
Your amazing dedication towards knowledge, detail, patience, perseverance, courage, and love of your craft brought beautiful life to the materials and joy to so many who got to experience your journey and end product.
So rewarding for you. ❤
Damn! I clicked this thinking I'd skim thru it quickly. But I couldn't help but watch every minute.Every frame is steaming with passion. Beautiful!
Thanks for taking the time to record your creation. I enjoyed it immensely.
I build things like tables, chairs, cabinets... even an occasional shelf. Watching this has been so very humbling. Your attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. I hope you get every bit of enjoyment from your creations, as to the effort you put in to make them. Very well done.
I agree 100%.
Nothing to say but, watching you work is pure joy. As a portrait artist I understand the process of making things for others to enjoy. It's lovely to watch another artist enjoy the journey to make others happy. Keep up the outstanding work.
I think I have watched an untold number of hours of acoustic guitar videos, less than 2 years ago I received my 00018 built for me by Willi Hankes and Rudy Blazer and I remember every minute of every visit to their workshop in southern Germany perfectly. I remember perfectly the excitement of the delivery of the instrument. It was an experience that drastically changed, for the better, my view of guitar playing. But never have I found a video like this! how much professionalism, how much attention, how much feeling! and you seem to me to be a great human being before being a great luthier! Wonderful!
The way you tie the bindings and tail graft in to each other with those miter joints...so subtle, but visually just stunning! Never seen that before, and I'm all about it! Fantastic work!
What a sweetheart ! Deliciously explained and filmed, thankyou so much for letting us all share in this enthralling piece of exemplary artistry . ❤
What a beautiful film, thank you.
You just have to hear one note played on that wonderful instrument, and the tonal quality and sustain is magical. There are no words to give it justice, and it brought me to tears. You must be so proud, and you should be.
Faith in humanity restored !!! Very rewarding to see youngsters with such dedication and pride towards their craft. Wasn't expecting the emotional ending either !.
That price for that guitar, he got the bargain of a life time. You are not just a Luthier, you are a magician. The scene at the end of the build with your hand over your eyes says it all about how emotionally invested you are in your guitars. The sign of a really true craftsperson. So looking forward to your next project.
@@AudioNaut93You’d have to be emotionally bereft. You really would. There’s diminished returns as the craftsmanship bar is raised with any item like this, but every step of this video had me thinking of my cheap Washburn, and wondering what kind of obsessiveness could really go into any production item. This lady’s customer got a one of a kind thing, even based on material alone. It can never happen again.
@@AudioNaut93 If mass produced is just as good as custom made, why are there so many craftsman out there producing much higher quality work. Comparing a Martin to a high quality custom made like this shows how little you know and understand about sound. And since you have not heard or seen this guitar in person, your comment is even more absurd. Comments like this also show how putting other people down makes you feel bigger. Very petty.
@@AudioNaut93Are "Martins" hand made like this, hundreds of hours she said, I mean genuine question, just asking as dont know much about making guitars.Anybody??
@@AudioNaut93Mass produced guitars are certainly not made like this, which is the question asked. There’s a Martin factory tour on RUclips that shows what is routed and laser etched that you might learn something from, rather than just presenting your feelings as fact. Similarly with the sound and feel of the completed guitars, you can make a “promise”, but you’re really only guessing. Intellectually lazy.
@@AudioNaut93Nice back-pedalling. In this thread you quoted $4k. You also said “36k is insane, I don’t care how good the craftsmanship is”. Implying that nobody should, including Daisy’s waiting list. The self-centeredness and envy is oozing out of your pores.
That's gotta be the luckiest stranger who's ever hopped on a plane ♥️
Yep! I thought I was jealous of Robb. Then I heard about Rob. 😂 This woman is one very special human being. Beautiful in every respect.
Filming yourself, setting up the camera each time, that adds a lot of work!
Consider my mind slightly blown that someone so young and beautiful harbours the drive and skill to have already mastered such an extraordinary craft. After a Lit. Degree, too. Absolutely fabulous.
I'm speechless at your attention to detail at every moment of this guitar build - its quality mirrors you. The video and audio is incredible as well! Thanks for sharing.
It's good to see someone who cares about their health and uses PPE when performing tasks that have a health risk.
Yeah. Way too many people in woodwork not wearing hearing, eye, or dust protection.
Your editing skills compliment your building and storytelling skills. Thanks for sharing.
For anyone observing how "effortlessly" Daisy executes the steps, processes and techniques shown here, how easy she makes it look, take it from this hobbyist luthier that most of them are boss-level nightmare fuel, with nested traps and a million ways of screwing up.
Right on. As someone who's able to fuck up even the most basic electric build, I confirm that your remark cannot be overstated.
I can’t second this hard enough. Even using neck blanks and pre-cut/bent sides, top and back, the guitars I’ve built have more in common with a baseball bat than one of Daisy’s guitars.
Unbelievable god given talent. Great work!
loved this. Really enjoyed the music thru my hi end audio system too.
I love watching skilled craftspeople create the thing that they love. It makes me consider what the Bible means when it says we are fearfully and wonderfully made and that we are God’s treasure. I imagine Him lovingly weaving me together in my mother’s womb with a warm smile on His face and then declaring that I am good. It’s hard to be down on yourself in that moment. Consider this the next time the enemy tries to steal your sense of worth. God bless, loved ones.
What wonderful words to read on this day, of all days a Sunday the day our Lord rested after creation. I felt touch and will remember your comment whenever, I am in doubt. London, UK.
I could watch craftsmanship like this all day. Thanks Daisy!
That is beyond incredible! You are a true craftsman. The amount of detail that is involved, and that you put in is stunning!
Absolutely magical…thank you for allowing us to hear your heart sing through your talent and love you poured in to this amazing guitar. Your hearts music will be heard every time your guitar is played.
Your dedication to your craft is astonishing. And not only do you make sure to take the time to get each step perfect, you also take the time to set up a camera to capture it. Incredible.
There is magic in books...there is magic in movies, fairytales and video games.... but sometimes like here, there is magic in real life. Thank you for sharing this! Humble greetings from bavaria :)
This was better than the last ten documentaries I’ve watched, truly incredible.
Young lady, I have been a luthier almost as long as that tree was alive 😂, but you are an amazing inspiration for me and I would imagine, scores of other luthiers and players.
Truly a work that reflects your passion, talent and dedication to the craft. Thank you for sharing this story with us and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Now I have to go pick up my jaw from the floor, excuse me. ❤
Thank you, even more for the person you are, but also for the patient, skilled craftmanship done with such intuitive and trained feeling. A writer long ago penned the words, "we are his workmanship," and I think that He is smiling.
Trust me when I say, if someone understands both fine woodworking and music we totally understand the emotion. Although I do not build instruments the joy I see in peoples faces when I present them with what I created is always an emotional moment. What you create brings an entire new level of emotion. I love music and I believe that an instrument built with the heart and soul you pour into it will bring happiness to everyone who ever has the chance to hear it.
wow ... ok apart from the obvious incredible workmanship I also wanted to compliment you on the great camera work ... the angles the shots the editing and the great choice of music all work together to make a thoroughly enjoyable video ... top work Daisy carry on carrying on .
The tree was over 400 years old... Now this guitar will carry on its legacy for another half century or more ❤
5000 years!
Until our government makes music illegal.
What a charming video! I am a guitar player of 59 years, and having handled every level of quality guitar in existence, from the cheapest mass production to the most expensive and lovingly handcrafted instruments, I could almost feel that beautiful creation in my hands as I watched you play it and feasted my eyes on the flawless end product. I loved all the stories and graphics you provided as well. Clearly you are very passionate about your art.
You are amazing...such an inspiration.
Thank you
I have made only one guitar. From scratch. Most enjoyable and something I will never sell. Thx for sharing the journey. I made my guitar a baritone electric out of metal using a 100 yr old 5”cast iron spoon as the center . Nothing beats working with your hands.
the fact your using hurricane wood is a story in itself. Amazing.
A beautiful young woman builds an equally beautiful acoustic guitar. Thank you Daisy for not only taking the time to build a wonderful guitar, but also taking the time to capture the process from beginning to end, and then editing it into a well crafted and engaging video
I've been a woodworker all my life. Just started on building Guitars, working on my second and third guitar now. Thanks for the insight!!
Fantastic to see a young person that has attained the level of craftsmanship normally associated with an old man (Me). Also encouraging to see that there are still people out there that can take the time and effort to build such a beautiful instrument by hand from scratch. She should think about how may years and how many hands may enjoy the sounds produced from her efforts! I bet your parents are very proud of you.
I am!
oh my good god... I have never spent an hour like it. As an Old musician I've played a lot of guitars for the most basic to high end Takamine and don't think I've heard a better sounding piece of wood yet. Apart from the skills employed make this guitar the sounding was as prefect as you can hear on a play back like You tube. The balance between the vibrato and sustain and the clarity of tone was amazing. It shows the heart that went into the making. It's great to see the build skills are going to die out to the factor builds. thank you for posting the vid and your joy of guitar building.🎸
