Hey Tom I have just watched all 7 instalments of your case build and have to say you did a great job. Not only that I found the humour and lightheartedness of the presentation of your videos highly entertaining :)
Thanks for posting this series. I'm going through the same process right now. These videos are a big help. This case fabrication business is a Multi-Disciplinary Skill set not acquired in 1 day. Once again the effort is most appreciated.
There is no need to thank me for this, since making videos is what I enjoy doing. I should only thank you for actually watching them and even tho they aren't meant to be "how to" videos, finding them helpful. So thank you mate and good luck with your own cases!
Good job, just goes to shows that some youth out there can still be bothered to take the hard road. You seem very skillful, even if you claim to have no idea. Truly inspiring .
I know I am very very late to the party but I just marathon watched the bass and case builds and I am absolutely blown away. You are a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
Absolutely no problem mate, just glad to help. When people like you comment such nice things like this, I don't think I can, haha. Thanks so much matey!
The fact that you like my videos is enough to make me cry tears of happiness, but really never thank me for making videos. There is only a thanks that should be given, and it is from me to you. So thank you and everyone else for making me so happy with all your nice words and support!
Thanks for this... going to be building a rectangular case for the hubby's acoustic/electric bass and, aside from looking at the other cases he has, had no clue where to even begin. This is awesome even 9 years later...
dude, seriously impressed. People don't realise how difficult it is to achieve a professional level of finish to a lot of DIY projects. You have given me a lot of great ideas thanks!
You nailed it... I am the proud owner of a vintage Godin g-3000 electric and has an odd shape too. for years I have making a custom case for it on my to-do list. Thanks for the inspiration.
Earned yourself another subscriber today. I'm definitely going to use your videos when the time comes for me to build myself a hard case. Thanks a ton for the videos! Now I'm off to watch your P Bass build videos haha. Thanks!
Good job there guy. My brother and I are in the process of building our own personal guitars and hard case as well as the travel road cases for our amps and this video series was a great example on how to build one thank u and keep on rocking.
I think the human spirit here is fantastic. That you humorously post, and work through your project here is something that is genuine, that anyone can relate to, and should relate to. The courage to post as you are learning through the build, and the integrity to share the lessons you learned are excellent to see. Congratulations man, the product bass and case look pretty sweet too. Cheers.
It means a lot that you've taken notice of that. That this was a build that I really had no idea of what I was doing and that it sometimes took a toll on me when posting it. And also that you see that along with showcasing what I am doing, Im at the same time trying to entertain. Thank you so much for the kind words! And Im really glad you liked it and my darling Primadonna. Cheers!
Excellent build and quality finish, a lot of skills are needed to construct something like this and for you to say you don't know what you're doing would be wrong. Well done mate.
Tho really, I had no idea what I was doing. And skills.. haha, I see myself as lacking them hard! Tho your words are very kind, thank you so much for them mate! It means a lot!
Im a bit sorry for that tho.. Im trying to keep these videos short and interesting for everyone (even those who know nothing about the subject). But it's always nice to hear that people do enjoy the videos, even if there a bit longer. Thank you!
Well I just finished watching the whole P-bass and hard case builds, and I have to say, you did an AMAZING job! I hope that all your time and efforts are worth it and you are kicking ass with your band!
I found this video very useful, but mostly very entertaining! You need to host a DIY show on some home improvement network because you surely have the star power. I wish you luck and hopefully I'll see you on TV one of these days.
I was looking for ideas on how to build a custom case for a very non-traditionally shaped electric cello when I stumbled across your series. While my particular instrument is going to have some unique issues to come up with solutions for, I really appreciate you sharing this because I learned a lot that I can use. Also, thanks for making it entertaining while you were at it!
Im really glad, that first the videos gave you some ideas and that you appreciate them. But mostly Im happy cause you found them entertaining. It means a great deal since making videos is what I enjoy doing and wanna focus on doing. So absolutely no need to thank me for anything mate. I should only thank you for this great support and kind words! Good luck with your own hard case!
I have a somewhat unique Brazilian classical guitar that I'm restoring. I called all of the major guitar case manufacturers here in the U.S. and Canada, looking for a case for this guitar... All of them responded that they didn't have anything that fits perfectly. That's why I starting looking for videos to help me build one myself. I watched a bunch, including an interesting attempt at making a fiberglass case... Your end result was exactly what I was looking for but I think I'd build the top and bottom a tad thicker for more protection. I actually liked the concept of fiberglass, but the guy's end result was stinky at best! I'm not ready for the case, so it'll be a few months before I start, but duuuuude... these were truly excellent videos, funny and not boring, and I will watch them all again when I'm ready to start my build. I love the final case. Well Done! Can you tell me where you normally purchase those plastic strips or what they're called. I'm sure I can find them here... just need to know if there's a name for em.
Thanks a huge bunch mate! Well maybe I wont build anything more.. mohaha. Im sorry I had to. There will be more, only along with other videos I wanna make. Tho I am very glad that you wanna see more! Again, I thank you for that!
Wow dude. That series was superb. If nothing else it amazes me how cheap some of these form fitting cases can be when you compare it to the amount of time and money you put into this one case. Brilliant job, and great and entertaining video, unlike mine I'm constantly told. Dunc
Well when bigger companies makes cases they have a lot of machines that ease the production and more importantly, they have the knowledge of how a good hard case should be made. I myself had basically no idea.. haha. So happy you liked the case and also that you thought the videos where entertaining! It means a great deal when people think so, since making an entertaining video (no matter what the content is), is what I really enjoy doing. Im sure you're videos are great! And if you or other people don't think so then keep making them and keep improving yourself! Thank you so much for the kind words mate!
Thanks for this serial, Im finishing a guitar for a friend and I thought of make a case for the guitar, so here I have the solution. Thanks and happy 2015 for you. Greetings from Argentina
Thanks matey! Would be fun to do sometime.. haha! Tho builds is not the only thing I wanna do here on youtube, but I will of course do more. And it is always nice to hear that people are looking forward to them. Thank you so much for that!
Im not really that interested in the building part of amps and pedals. Sure, I don't know what I will be thinking even thirty minutes from now, haha. But as for now, don't think I'll do it in the near future. And also cause videos about instruments plus there equipment is not the only thing I wanna do on youtube. Thanks a bunch mate, puts a smile on my face to hear that, cheers!
Fantastic job! It looks beautiful! I just finished building a clone of a PRS Custom 22, and I was just going to buy a gig bag for it until I saw your hard case series. I built a Marshall style 2x12 angle face speaker cab for my Blackstar amp. so I already have some experience with Tolex style vinyl, and you did a great job!Thanks so much, you have just given me my winter project (yup. it's cold here in Canada too, lol)!
Thanks a huge bunch mate. It really do means a lot when someone notice the editing part. Cause tho the work is one, editing and making videos is the other thing i enjoy doing. Again, thank you!
Dude, great job! This is excellent! Gotta say- that fabric was worth the wait. And I also think it's great that you tackle a project like this and document it and share it for everybody. I would just say- I hope that the hardware that attaches your handle is really really well attached. That brown board that you used is often known to have screws or rivets pull through the wood- especially under the weight of the full case. I know you would hate to see that happen. But it all looks amazing. You should be proud.
Excellent job Tom!!! I've just watched your videos in a row as I was looking for some ideas about how to build a case for my bass guitar,now I'm more clued up and you make it look like so easy. Thank you buddy. Bravo!!!
I feel very honored to have inspired you to do such a thing, it really do means a lot. But Im going to tell you what I tell everyone else, I can't check out other peoples stuff all the time. And if I said no to one person, I can't accept the next one. I am sorry about this. Tho regardless of whether or not you think people would watch a video you upload, If you wanna do it, then do it. The most important thing is that YOU like what you are doing.
Tom, I'm very impressed by your building skills AND your video editing skills. Oh yes, your English is excellent also!. Now I'm off to watch you build the Bass.
Dude, yes, I said dude. I'm from that era! Great looking case! Entertaining videos! I'm subscribing! Also, you've convinced me to never, never, never build my own case! Enjoyed watching you build yours though!
There is no need to thank me for making videos. If there is a thanks that should be given, it is from me to YOU and everyone else for watching and giving me all this support, it really do means a lot! So a huge huge thanks to you and everyone else for everything! Haha oh, that shirt has soon gotten more comments then what I have videos..
If you are thinking about the big brown slab behind me all the time, then no. It's actually a leftover pice of mahogany. It warms my heart to hear that you like my work, tho builds and videos about instruments is not the only thing I wanna do here on youtube. I will of course do more (and yes Im very tended to start an "original" build, cause you have no Idea of whats inside my head), but there will be other videos as well. Thank you so much for the kind words mate!
"so worth" the wait! i can't believe you were able to finaggle the pre-glued lid into the crushed velvet pocket either to be honest. great build. couldn't really tell you didn't know what you were doing but it was interesting to watch you learn how to streamline certain processes as you went along
Thank you very much mate! It makes me happy that you're already asking that, tho I most say that builds and videos about instruments, isn't the only thing I wanna do here on youtube. I will of course do more (cause I enjoy it so much), but there will be other videos as well that might have nothing to do with instruments. That being said now.. Im still not going to tell what is next.. haha.. MOAHAHAHHA.. sorry..
The second I smeared the first lump of glue on to that thing I thought "well I f ed up now".. haha. Well It's always a real pleasure to have people like you along on my small journeys of learning (cause most of the time, I really have no Idea of what Im doing). Thank you very much for this and your nice words!
Really glad you liked it mate! Never thank me for anything tho! I've done a few things since this build. Tho as for building instruments, I've grown a little tired of it. And it's not something I plan to do in the near future again. As for videos tho, I make one every week!
Your Jazzmaster build and this one have both been quite inspiring to me. I am looking for some basic tools to start building my own guitars. I don't think I'll try to tackle a case just yet...
Really.. did it help you..? I had no Idea what I was doing half the time.. haha. I am of course glad that it actually did help you, but don't thank me for it. If there is a thanks that should be given, it is from me to you for watching. So thank you so much!
You KNOW your a builder when... project costs x10 more than to just buy But seriously, way to follow through, looks good so you nailed it :) Now off to ebay for the case I wont be building
Hey Tom. One of my favourite 6 posts ever on RUclips! Your series is fantastic. Not only is the job well done, (you know nothing? I'm not so sure), it actually entertains without ever getting so corny it irritates. It was always fluent and the fast motion shots to see the whole build were a brilliant idea, much better than using cuts for each stage. Are you maybe a student of Drama/Performing Arts/Media? But then how would your woodworking skills be so good? My favourite bits: Watching at high speed as you used the bandsaw to slice the foam which was seriously scary at times. You won't play very good bass with less than 8 fingers! Next vid could be "Make yourself a cool set of Tony Iommi finger tips". Seeing your T-shirts change and your hair go up and down during the filming!!! (A smear of wood glue would be more permanent than styling wax). Oh, by the way, the case is actually awesome too. Now I suppose, like all Scandinavians, you're off to engage in some seriously awful death metal thrash crap??? (Lordi rules!!! No I don't think so. Ah that explains the bandsaw, you only need 2 fingers for that don't you?) Well, I suppose you deserve it, Rock On! Great job.
I knew pretty much nothing when I was building. Now that it is finished tho, just a slight less, haha. Your words put a smile on my face. Not only did you think the case was good, but more heartwarming for me did you think that the series was well preformed and entertaining. This means so much, cause making videos is what I really enjoy doing, no matter what they are about. Actually no, haha. I enjoy most generes of music, tho metal and it's surroundings doesn't really catch my ears. Really fun to hear all the bits you liked mate! And thank you so much for all these kind words!
Having a bit of a hard time understanding the 2:00 thing.. If you are referring to the last cut at 2:02 then no, everything was filmed at once. But sometimes I have to hit the record button again and that may have moved the camera a little bit. It warms my heart to hear that people appreciate the video making itself. Cause tho instruments is one thing I wanna do here, video making that some times has nothing to do with instruments is the other. Thank you so much for this, it means a lot!
I loved watching your vid's man , I don't even play bass...but after I clicked on your building videos I was drawn in an stopped watching the tv , while my girl wanted me to watch some lame movie , I laughed quite a few times , and I am very Impressed with your talent as a carpenter and musician myself , I must tell you your Patience played a great deal in the beautiful out come of that Case , But you are Quite the Builder my Friend . I am now a subscriber to your Channel , Thanks for the entertainment , I really Enjoyed it very much. see ya Bro' Jeffrey James Lake.
Well.. I don't want to be the source of reason for your girlfriend to be angry with you for not watching the movie with her.. so Im kinda sorry.. haha. Serious tho, thank you so much. Not only cause you find my builds and work to be good, but cause you also found joy in them. I make these videos not only to show my work, but to try and entertain as well. My thoughts are that you shouldn't have to know a squat about instruments and still be able to watch my videos. Your kind and humble words means a lot, thank you so much for them mate! And of course the subscription you gave me!
that looks great. you've convinced me to BUY a case.
Whatever you want to do mate, haha.
Thank you!
Ain't that the truth!!
When all you gorgeous people are supporting me so much.. I don't think I can stop posting videos here. Thank you a huge bunch matey!
That seriously looks like store-bought quality, maybe even better, I'm seriously impressed.
Oh stahp **blushblush**. Thank you very much for these kind words mate!
Hey Tom I have just watched all 7 instalments of your case build and have to say you did a great job. Not only that I found the humour and lightheartedness of the presentation of your videos highly entertaining :)
I can't believe how well this came out. This is seriously bad ass, dude.
Thanks for posting this series. I'm going through the same process right now. These videos are a big help. This case fabrication business is a Multi-Disciplinary Skill set not acquired in 1 day. Once again the effort is most appreciated.
There is no need to thank me for this, since making videos is what I enjoy doing. I should only thank you for actually watching them and even tho they aren't meant to be "how to" videos, finding them helpful. So thank you mate and good luck with your own cases!

i admire your tenacity to see this project to the end, and your skills with wood and upholstery. Good job
More like two.. haha. Again sorry for that, but also.. thank you so much for your patience and kind words!
Saw all the episodes at night here, now I need my beauty sleep ok ? You are very lucky that you are so gifted ...Bless !
So I'm not the only one that talks to his bass. Interesting. Beauty of a case! Very well done.
Thanks for this... going to be building a rectangular case for the hubby's acoustic/electric bass and, aside from looking at the other cases he has, had no clue where to even begin. This is awesome even 9 years later...

unbelievable craftmanship and video editing. amazing..
Good job there guy. My brother and I are in the process of building our own personal guitars and hard case as well as the travel road cases for our amps and this video series was a great example on how to build one thank u and keep on rocking.
That is quite incredible starting from just a few pieces of wood. For a great purpose to.looking forward to watching more builds.
Makes me really happy you liked it! And even tho builds isn't the only thing I wanna make videos about, Im glad you wanna see more! Thank you so much!
I think the human spirit here is fantastic. That you humorously post, and work through your project here is something that is genuine, that anyone can relate to, and should relate to. The courage to post as you are learning through the build, and the integrity to share the lessons you learned are excellent to see. Congratulations man, the product bass and case look pretty sweet too. Cheers.

And also that you see that along with showcasing what I am doing, Im at the same time trying to entertain. Thank you so much for the kind words! And Im really glad you liked it and my darling Primadonna. Cheers!
Hi Tom, I build cases too and I loved the funny way you present the step by step of making it. Good job boy
7 years later and it still looks beautiful
watching you build the bass was fun, but watching you build the case was even better.
Excellent build and quality finish, a lot of skills are needed to construct something like this and for you to say you don't know what you're doing would be wrong. Well done mate.
Tho really, I had no idea what I was doing. And skills.. haha, I see myself as lacking them hard!
Tho your words are very kind, thank you so much for them mate! It means a lot!
I love it. I like your 'can do' attitude, it's rare in youngsters these days. You really achieved something admirable. Well done.
Im a bit sorry for that tho.. Im trying to keep these videos short and interesting for everyone (even those who know nothing about the subject). But it's always nice to hear that people do enjoy the videos, even if there a bit longer. Thank you!
Well I just finished watching the whole P-bass and hard case builds, and I have to say, you did an AMAZING job! I hope that all your time and efforts are worth it and you are kicking ass with your band!
Thank you!
If you can call that all of us are "sitting at home playing Hearthstone" then sure, we are kicking ass, haha.
First a custom P-Bass , now a custom form fit case to suit . Mate i,m in awe of your great work ,just subbed pls keep it up :)
amp time ;D
That's a great looking case, and you did a really good job of explaining and illustrating each step. Thanks.
No need to thank me for anything mate! Just glad you liked the series (even tho it's never meant to be "explaining", haha. Just showcasing the build).
I found this video very useful, but mostly very entertaining! You need to host a DIY show on some home improvement network because you surely have the star power. I wish you luck and hopefully I'll see you on TV one of these days.
I was looking for ideas on how to build a custom case for a very non-traditionally shaped electric cello when I stumbled across your series.

So absolutely no need to thank me for anything mate. I should only thank you for this great support and kind words!
Good luck with your own hard case!
Man, I wouldn’t ever want to do that. But it was fun to watch. Great job.
I have a somewhat unique Brazilian classical guitar that I'm restoring. I called all of the major guitar case manufacturers here in the U.S. and Canada, looking for a case for this guitar... All of them responded that they didn't have anything that fits perfectly.

I'm not ready for the case, so it'll be a few months before I start, but duuuuude... these were truly excellent videos, funny and not boring, and I will watch them all again when I'm ready to start my build. I love the final case. Well Done!
Can you tell me where you normally purchase those plastic strips or what they're called. I'm sure I can find them here... just need to know if there's a name for em.
Sorry for the "lateness".. Really glad you like it, thank you so much!
Nice one Tom. You've passed on to me the enthusiasm to have a go myself, Thank you.
You did a great job. And the wait for the inside material was worth it.
I agree, I really wanted it to be this green and a little wait for the perfect colour was worth. Thanks matey!
What a great build!! Nice job!! The cost doesn't matter. You built that thing yourself!!
Thank you so much mate, really glad you liked it!
Naa, you and everyone else is awesome for all the nice words you are giving! Thank you so much!
Very, very nice! It looks better than most cases I've seen. You had me laughing too, you sense of humor is amazing. Thanks.
You did an excellent job building your case! I can't wait to see what you build next.
Thanks a huge bunch mate!
Well maybe I wont build anything more.. mohaha. Im sorry I had to. There will be more, only along with other videos I wanna make. Tho I am very glad that you wanna see more! Again, I thank you for that!
That's hard and fine working. I appreciate!
Congrats from Brazil

Fantastic job! It looks beautiful! I just finished building a clone of a PRS Custom 22, and I was just going to buy a gig bag for it until I saw your hard case series. I built a Marshall style 2x12 angle face speaker cab for my Blackstar amp. so I already have some experience with Tolex style vinyl, and you did a great job!Thanks so much, you have just given me my winter project (yup. it's cold here in Canada too, lol)!
It's a kick ass hard case! Congratulations, Tom!!!

Dude ... I am your biggest fan in South Carolina!
Tom, I'm very impressed by your building skills AND your video editing skills. Oh yes, your English is excellent also!.
Now I'm off to watch you build the Bass.
Just watched the case build. The "old school" doweling was impressive!
Dude, yes, I said dude. I'm from that era! Great looking case! Entertaining videos! I'm subscribing! Also, you've convinced me to never, never, never build my own case! Enjoyed watching you build yours though!
Haha, thanks matey! Both for subscribing, actually thinking that the case was good and mainly liking the videos! It means a lot! Glad you liked them!
Amazing work. I want sure I can do one. But after watching your video I will definitely will try to make one for my guitar
It turned out great, Tom! Great job!
There is no need to thank me for making videos. If there is a thanks that should be given, it is from me to YOU and everyone else for watching and giving me all this support, it really do means a lot! So a huge huge thanks to you and everyone else for everything! Haha oh, that shirt has soon gotten more comments then what I have videos..
Thank you for your videos!
Dude! This is seriously impressive. Very nicely done. Bravo!!! 👍🏻✋🏻👊🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
If you are thinking about the big brown slab behind me all the time, then no. It's actually a leftover pice of mahogany.

Great work! Greetings from Brazil
thats a pretty sweet case. I would have just bought one. and I build my own basses.... great job
"so worth" the wait! i can't believe you were able to finaggle the pre-glued lid into the crushed velvet pocket either to be honest. great build. couldn't really tell you didn't know what you were doing but it was interesting to watch you learn how to streamline certain processes as you went along

Congrats on this. It's a beauty indeed.
Thank you so much mate!
The second I smeared the first lump of glue on to that thing I thought "well I f ed up now".. haha. Well It's always a real pleasure to have people like you along on my small journeys of learning (cause most of the time, I really have no Idea of what Im doing). Thank you very much for this and your nice words!
Hi men! Greetings from Buenos Aires! You are a amazing artist!!! Your bass case is the best!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!
Aww, thank you! Im far from an amazing artist tho, haha.
Say hello to Buenos Aires from me!
This was such an awesome video series, thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
This was really fun to watch and I enjoyed watching how you figured out what you needed to do! Thanks!
Are you still making things?
Really glad you liked it mate! Never thank me for anything tho!
I've done a few things since this build. Tho as for building instruments, I've grown a little tired of it. And it's not something I plan to do in the near future again.
As for videos tho, I make one every week!
Impressionante a sua habilidade. Pensava em fabricar uma, desisti. Melhor mesmo entrar em algum site e comprar conforme comentaram. Tks from Brazil.
Really glad you enjoy them, thank you!
The most badass thing you can do.
Your Jazzmaster build and this one have both been quite inspiring to me. I am looking for some basic tools to start building my own guitars. I don't think I'll try to tackle a case just yet...
Excellent series, thank you!
Thank you so much matey, happy you liked it!
Soy de argentina gracias maestro es un genio felicitaciones.
Wow that looks amazing! I need to build a custom case after I build my guitar and this has really helped with how I will make it
Really.. did it help you..? I had no Idea what I was doing half the time.. haha. I am of course glad that it actually did help you, but don't thank me for it. If there is a thanks that should be given, it is from me to you for watching. So thank you so much!
Turned out awesome mate. Good job
Wow, you can sew too? You have some serious skills!
You're amazing for the kind words, thank you!
So good. I love it. Let me try the simplest one. Thanks for hour video.
looks so cool!! looking forward for your next built, still waiting for ukulele built
Well done that man, great job.
Tom, Well done!!!!!
You KNOW your a builder when...
project costs x10 more than to just buy
But seriously, way to follow through, looks good so you nailed it :)
Now off to ebay for the case I wont be building
Hey Tom. One of my favourite 6 posts ever on RUclips! Your series is fantastic. Not only is the job well done, (you know nothing? I'm not so sure), it actually entertains without ever getting so corny it irritates. It was always fluent and the fast motion shots to see the whole build were a brilliant idea, much better than using cuts for each stage. Are you maybe a student of Drama/Performing Arts/Media? But then how would your woodworking skills be so good?
My favourite bits:
Watching at high speed as you used the bandsaw to slice the foam which was seriously scary at times. You won't play very good bass with less than 8 fingers! Next vid could be "Make yourself a cool set of Tony Iommi finger tips".
Seeing your T-shirts change and your hair go up and down during the filming!!! (A smear of wood glue would be more permanent than styling wax).
Oh, by the way, the case is actually awesome too. Now I suppose, like all Scandinavians, you're off to engage in some seriously awful death metal thrash crap??? (Lordi rules!!! No I don't think so. Ah that explains the bandsaw, you only need 2 fingers for that don't you?) Well, I suppose you deserve it, Rock On! Great job.
I knew pretty much nothing when I was building. Now that it is finished tho, just a slight less, haha.
Your words put a smile on my face. Not only did you think the case was good, but more heartwarming for me did you think that the series was well preformed and entertaining. This means so much, cause making videos is what I really enjoy doing, no matter what they are about.
Actually no, haha. I enjoy most generes of music, tho metal and it's surroundings doesn't really catch my ears.
Really fun to hear all the bits you liked mate! And thank you so much for all these kind words!
Having a bit of a hard time understanding the 2:00 thing.. If you are referring to the last cut at 2:02 then no, everything was filmed at once. But sometimes I have to hit the record button again and that may have moved the camera a little bit. It warms my heart to hear that people appreciate the video making itself. Cause tho instruments is one thing I wanna do here, video making that some times has nothing to do with instruments is the other. Thank you so much for this, it means a lot!
The fact that you were able to make a hardshell case from scratch amazes me
great job guy, this case looks awesome, im actually about to make one of my own
I loved watching your vid's man , I don't even play bass...but after I clicked on your building videos I was drawn in an stopped watching the tv , while my girl wanted me to watch some lame movie , I laughed quite a few times , and I am very Impressed with your talent as a carpenter and musician myself , I must tell you your Patience played a great deal in the beautiful out come of that Case , But you are Quite the Builder my Friend . I am now a subscriber to your Channel , Thanks for the entertainment , I really Enjoyed it very much. see ya Bro' Jeffrey James Lake.
Well.. I don't want to be the source of reason for your girlfriend to be angry with you for not watching the movie with her.. so Im kinda sorry.. haha. Serious tho, thank you so much. Not only cause you find my builds and work to be good, but cause you also found joy in them. I make these videos not only to show my work, but to try and entertain as well. My thoughts are that you shouldn't have to know a squat about instruments and still be able to watch my videos. Your kind and humble words means a lot, thank you so much for them mate! And of course the subscription you gave me!
Even funnier, haha where are you from ?
Haha. Again I most say thank you! Im from Sweden!
