When your child is all grown up and you’re an old man, they are gonna remember and cherish the memories they had with their pops playing with small wood chips on the floor as he built his guitars ❤️
they will. i'm a grown woman (i'll be 23 this sunday). and i hate cooking but i still remember baking cakes and cookies with my dad when i was 10 because he made it fun

My father passed away when I was 6, but before that I was always playing in his wood shop with him. I will forever cherish the memories of 5 year old me hammering nail after nail into a piece of wood. Seeing your daughter with you brought me back to that place again.
I'm sorry to read that you lost your father at such a young age and I'm happy to hear that you still have those happy memories with him, thanks for watching !
Without a doubt one of the highest quality videos I've watched, ever. The craftsmanship, the knowledge, the editing, the guitar playing, and even wholesome family dynamics! Truly great work.
High level craftsmanship, wholesome family vibes, perfectly edited, beautiful taste in guitar shape and finish.........this is truly something special. Whoever ends up with this work of art is lucky indeed. Added to that the proceeds going to charity. Ben really started something special with the guitar build off.
It’s great that you have your daughter with you in the shop and have her help with the little things. It maybe pretty insignificant in the whole process like outlining the shape and cutting the frets, but to a little kid like that, she might as well have built the whole thing herself 😂
I can’t believe you do this just as a hobby, and that you have been a luthier for such a relatively short time. I would buy one of your guitars without hesitation. Beautiful, thank you. And we all need helpers - working in a team is so much more fun. Your team mate is brilliant! She has better finishing skill than I do!
Well thank you ! Little helpers are the best ! Even their yelling and shouting and crying upstairs, that you can hear on some of the clips, are very helpful :)
I have a daughter too, and I literally chuckled out loud when I read the caption "just don't tell mom"! That is something I find myself saying to my little girl too. Whatever it takes for them to smile. It is so cool to see that no matter what language it is, the love a dad has for his little girl has no boundaries. I just started doing larger luthier work myself and it was really cool to watch you take the time needed to do everything right. Awesome job filming and editing too! People don't realize how difficult it is to get great shots like you did. Keep up the good work! 😎🤙🏼🎸🎸
I built my first guitar when I was 15 with my Dad. We had no plans bar an old acoustic we copied and his memory of a guitar he'd seen as a kid himself. 30 years later I have built guitars for people who've sold millions and had albums that won best in the music industry with songs my tools and passion created.

As always, absolutely stunning instrument, beautifully shot video and ridiculously adorable "maniacal laughter" from the assistant. Every single build is even better than the last. Amazing.
this is a blessing to have a child like her.... her smiles and chuckles are like heavenly. Keep building guitars and please do me a favor give her a tight hug she is cute
Are you sure you even know what you're talking about? There is no "over the years" for the GGBO. Matt & Chris @ Texas Toast came up with that in early 2020 or late 2019 and the very first one was put on by Crimson and that was only last year. 2020. So there is no "over the years". So what are you talking about? There's only been 2 so far. The first year, 2020, which Texas Toast won with their triple neck Challenger called The Hater Maker. And this year. So there's been a year and a few months so far. Not enough time for "over the years" 🤷
Ok that was amazing. And from one dad to another, it’s great to see the kid in the shop. Great work! Also... pleeeeeeeeease consider making an explorer style guitar at some point.
Amazing! But your daughter helping you just got me. It reminds me of little me, about her age, helping my father on his workshop. He's been gone 19 years ago and this video just got me really emotional. I miss him, I miss spending time with him. He was my best friend ever. Thanks for sharing. Your work is amazing! Really!
Outside of the Beautiful instruments you've made, I watch your videos over and over for they're meditative effect. No heavy metal background music or rough attempts at comedy or instruction, Just the process. Love it. Thanks.
Its bringing tears almost watching you and your daughter. This is really something special. I want to have a life like this so bad. I want to build guitars and have a sweet child of my own to give the world to.
c'est comme regarder un film au cinéma, en etant assis sur sa chaise de bureau ahah ! sérieusement c'est magnifique, encore un travail de dingue, toutes mes félicitations !!
You are genius, Not only created a masterpiece as a master luthier, also a wonderful guitar player at pro level. I would love to buy one of your guitars. The voice of the child during the building process is amazing, she is so sweet...

Your relationship with your daughter in the woodshop has made me think about being a father again after a brutal miscarriage. Your woodworking skills are beautiful and your attention to detail is immaculate! Thank you for making this video it has taught me and inspired me.
The time and care you put into the knobs and getting the fretboard perfect with the headstock was great. That first note must have felt really satisfying for you. Good job and good luck in the competition
Saw this, on my firestick, but was unable to leave a comment. So came to my trusty phone. That's how much I had to pay homage to the skills of this guy. Setting the guitar in the wood from where it came, was masterful. (Plus being able to solder decently, being able to play, as well as create something of true beauty). Just pure admiration, brother. Very rare have I sat through a 20-25 minute video without skipping. I would have sat through 45 mins of this. No problem. Thank you.
Really enjoying this ASMR-format without any commentary. You could take it one step further: cut out all frames where hands are visible and tools make sound. Et voila, a guitar silently shaping itself into existence :) Good luck with the GGBO contest!
This video has been playing 3 times so far. Soothing and relaxing, enchanting... Your work is amazing and you are a true ARTISTE, MONSIEUR! When I saw the wooden pickguard I just lost it. Chapeau bas, l'artiste!
There are just few reasons why guitars are made from many slabs: 1st, price, the smaller the wood piece, the cheaper it is (duh), to the point where in cheap guitars the body is at least 3 piece, sometimes 4 or 5. 2nd, neck has to be tough, it must hold against string tension without flexing to much and there is much less material than in the body. Of course truss rod is a thing, but still, we see wood like mahogany for body and maple neck. 3rd, economy, see how much waste there is when you have slab with width of a body and you cut away wings to form a neck. I think that this wood will be repurposed in some way, but it’s not an option for mass produced guitars
@@Reynevan94 its possible to make the neck and body center piece from one part and glue on the wings - probably the most economical way to have everything from bridge to nut from one piece of wood
Another reason is that with the cutting down of old-growth trees, and short-term farming becoming more prevalent, trees in general are smaller, and pieces of wood big enough to make an entire guitar out of are increasingly rare.
@@tchiksguitars thank you so much for answering. i thought i was an idiot for trying different neck angles and bridges on my modding guitars 😅 the aim is to one day be able to build myself my own guitar
Amazing work! Your daughter is so cute too! I think kids speaking french is one of the most endearing things. I'm sure she will have fond memories of helping you out with your guitars. Beautiful craftsmanship, thanks for sharing!

PS: I like your daughter's jokes.
Love the craftsmanship and the father daughter time!! Beautiful instrument!!
bravo, une vidéo dans la lignée des précédentes, super montage !lumière très agréable...très pro !le travail de lutherie est ultra propre, compréhensible....et gros point positif; la démo, ça joue simple ( pas péjoratif, simple dans le sens musical, pas fioriture, d effets hors sujet !!! ) et bien, la prise de son est bonne, souvent ce qui pêche sur les autres vidéos du même genre sur you tube, parfait de A à Z ! félicitations !
Hé hé, merci pour ces louanges :)
if someday you open a guitar company, i would definitely bought 1
hahaha
because i've been tried some of kickstart guitar and well not suit my heart
It's most likely never going to happen but thanks !
@@tchiksguitars please, do IT
Your relationship with your daughter in the woodshop has made me think about being a father again after a brutal miscarriage. Your woodworking skills are beautiful and your attention to detail is immaculate! Thank you for making this video it has taught me and inspired me.
The one-piece guitar.
the one piece guitar is real.
can we get much higher💦
The time and care you put into the knobs and getting the fretboard perfect with the headstock was great. That first note must have felt really satisfying for you. Good job and good luck in the competition
that first note came a bit late because I had to redo the wiring :p
Excellent job there's nothing so satisfying as the sound of wood being shaved with the Chisel great job beautiful guitar you are a true artist
this was so beautifully shot
Thank you !
"laughs at her own dystopian fantasy" dude that killed me, what a sweetheart ;-)
P.S amazing video and guitar (building)
Saw this, on my firestick, but was unable to leave a comment.
So came to my trusty phone. That's how much I had to pay homage to the skills of this guy.
Setting the guitar in the wood from where it came, was masterful. (Plus being able to solder decently, being able to play, as well as create something of true beauty).
Just pure admiration, brother.
Very rare have I sat through a 20-25 minute video without skipping.
I would have sat through 45 mins of this. No problem.
Thank you.
Really enjoying this ASMR-format without any commentary. You could take it one step further: cut out all frames where hands are visible and tools make sound. Et voila, a guitar silently shaping itself into existence :)
Good luck with the GGBO contest!
Excellent idea ! I'll order green gloves and onesies right away :)
The one piece is real
Yohohohoho
What a joy to see a guitar crafted from a single solid cut of wood. Just beautiful! Thank you!
when he uses a separate plank for he fretboard: lies
THE ONE PIECE GUITAR
THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAL!!!
This video has been playing 3 times so far. Soothing and relaxing, enchanting... Your work is amazing and you are a true ARTISTE, MONSIEUR!
When I saw the wooden pickguard I just lost it. Chapeau bas, l'artiste!
Haha. T'es fou
I came here bc i wanted a guitar. Now i want a daughter.
I always wondered: Is this theoretically possible and why have I never seen it on you tube before? Everyone does the neck separately.
There are just few reasons why guitars are made from many slabs: 1st, price, the smaller the wood piece, the cheaper it is (duh), to the point where in cheap guitars the body is at least 3 piece, sometimes 4 or 5. 2nd, neck has to be tough, it must hold against string tension without flexing to much and there is much less material than in the body. Of course truss rod is a thing, but still, we see wood like mahogany for body and maple neck. 3rd, economy, see how much waste there is when you have slab with width of a body and you cut away wings to form a neck. I think that this wood will be repurposed in some way, but it’s not an option for mass produced guitars
I should hire you to reply to this eternal comment I get :)
@@Reynevan94 its possible to make the neck and body center piece from one part and glue on the wings - probably the most economical way to have everything from bridge to nut from one piece of wood
@@akkudakkupl Pretty common, even. Probably my favorite looking style. Bought my current Schecter bass partly for this reason.
Another reason is that with the cutting down of old-growth trees, and short-term farming becoming more prevalent, trees in general are smaller, and pieces of wood big enough to make an entire guitar out of are increasingly rare.
Daughter is adorable and your work is remarkable. Well done
Thanks !
Kinda relaxing🤤
newbie question: how do you determine neck angle / bridge height when building from scratch?
thanks
trial and error for me, this is the 4th time I make this design with this bridge, so I knew in advance it didn't need a neck break angle
@@tchiksguitars thank you so much for answering. i thought i was an idiot for trying different neck angles and bridges on my modding guitars 😅 the aim is to one day be able to build myself my own guitar
When I built my first guitar I didn't even know that neck angles were a thing
Amazing work! Your daughter is so cute too! I think kids speaking french is one of the most endearing things. I'm sure she will have fond memories of helping you out with your guitars. Beautiful craftsmanship, thanks for sharing!
I hope she does. In any case I have the videos to help :)
From one father to another "Just don't tell mum..." haha
I like to think you're getting revenge on your wife after she told you you couldn't buy more guitars.
This might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The talent and attention to detail is just mind blowing. Mad respect. This is truly art.
*THIS GUITAR COULD BE YOURS!!* the auction just went live and will go on until July 2 !! Link is here : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154502615052
Remember this is for a good cause and I will not get 1 cent of the proceed for myself ! All benefits are going to charities, which includes Infirmiers de Rue, a Belgian non profit organization that provides healthcare on the street for homeless people as well as rehousing solutions !
Thanks for that 🙏🎸
Please I will pay you just build me a guitar just like this one
I have saved
I need a real guitar not a copy of a famous design that everyone has and all argue about who's the guitar is better
I believe soon as they see this one they will all shut up
One slap of beautiful wood and the curves and lines that bring it to life
And oh my god bring out the tone just so beautiful
Please make me one
The "pass the Goddamn butter" rythme is one of my favourites, reminds me of Justin Chancellor from Tool!
This is the second time I get this comment so I had to look it up
@@tchiksguitars yeah, he did an interview for bassist magazine, where he performed the riff for the song 'Aenema' and thats the rythme he uses!
Un immense bravo. Tout est beau : la réalisation, le colorimétrie, le son, le rythme et évidemment la guitare. Un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.
Parabéns muito exelente seu trabalho
