A dear friend of mine passed away Thursday. He lived in Hamilton and loved music, and I would share your videos with him. Watching this video today helped me, so thank you so very much. Here is to a healthy, happy, and joyful New Year
My friend passed away this year the day before my birthday…. I’ve learned that all we can do is to further their dreams that didn’t come to fruition. We do this for them, because the only way out from the grief is to push through. I wish you a wonderful new year, hope the best for you and cheers!!!!
I do not play, don't own a guitar, but your videos are quietly soothing and educational at a time when the rest of the world seems to be shouting. Thank you for teaching and entertaining us when it would be so much easier for you to do your work without us looking over your shoulder.
Before I watch your last video of 2022, let me thank you for your channel and your knowledge and ability and willingness to share. It seems your videos always come around when I need them, yes you bring folks something really good. I love guitars, especially acoustics and I love seeing the variety in your videos. I also appreciate your low key approach and your in depth explanations. Thanks again and here’s wishing you and yours the best that 2023 can bring. Happy New Year!!! 🎉 Peace on Earth. ✌🏼
Long time watcher here. I don't comment often. Anyway ... I enjoy watching your videos. I don't own a guitar nor have I ever played one, but I am a fan of rock and guitars and guitar players AND guitar repairmen. Thanks for your good work.
I think the New Year is one of the better, more honest holidays. Christmas Day isn't the birthday of Jesus, if he ever existed, and Easter is another massive leap of faith. Here in Australia we celebrate the Queen's birthday, not on her actual birthday though. The various states go their own way to establish a day, all of which are months away from her actual birthday.
@@deaddoll1361 , for me, perhaps the only reason to quietly "celebrate" New Years, maybe with a nice meal at home, is that Christmas is over and done with! I have really come to dread the Christmas season, which now seems to begin well before Thanksgiving. I hate the commercialism, the crowded stores and stressed out shoppers, the absent-minded drivers (it has been a record-setting year statistically for fatal car crashes and pedestrians being hit and killed) the forced cheer, the ever-more extravagant decking out of homes with garish lights, and the bad music. Have we advanced so little as a species that we need to go to such lengths just to dispel the winter blahs? Have millions of us got a case of SADD, seasonal affective depressive disorder brought on by shorter days and/or cooler weather? Commercialism is not the answer for that. I'm glad to see it go away for the next ten months or so! (Granted, your experience at this time of year, your summer down below the equator, might be different).
Just finished working on my '67 Goya 12 string. Several small things, like crack repair, new nut, sanding down a dished fret board. It is louder and much easier to play. Purchased for about $100 US, and I probably would have paid at least a few hundred, had I charged myself for time and material. Now I have a very playable, nice sounding guitar. Much what I did, I learned watching these vids. Thanks, Ted!
Thanks for your wisdom Ted! Recently acquired a Taiwan made FG-150 red label, had some significant bow though, well over a mm of relief. Grabbed some wood blocks a 1x2 and a clamp, stuck a reptile tank heat pad against the frets and put it in a back bow for a couple days. Took the heat away and after another day resting unclamped it to find it took on a much much straighter form. Fixed up the plate the truss rod nut was bearing against and she’s holding a playable action, though revealed some less than perfectly levelled frets haha. Wouldn’t have had the confidence without seeing it done here a few times. Cheers and all the best for ‘23!
Thank you Ted for another great year of quality content (also highly addictive) you created on this channel. I enjoyed watching all the videos and looking forward to watch you at work in 2023. Happy New Year to you and all the twoofrd gang!
Thank You Ted, as always you add heart strings to the guitars you repair that always brings a smile. Great Work, Great sound, great song. Happy new year!
*Tonight I will clamp and heat a neck to straighten it, but I also grabbed one of my ratty brand-x Les Paul hollowbodies due for work, and the BODY warped from sitting near the heater duct!* 😭😭😭 Between the F-holes and the pickups. Soon I will bridge something inside of it, heat it and slowly return it to health. *I have a ton of repairs and major instrument work in general you've inspired me to get busy on.*
I am still working on a binge of watching your videos. Thank you so much for doing whatcha do! I really wish someone in Canada would donate a decent Fender Champ tube combo as a test amp for you. Or maybe a Traynor, eh. Best wishes for 2023.
Happy New Year Ted! Thanks for all the enjoyable content. I've never played a guitar, and my woodworking skills and ambitions are hack level at best, but I've found myself coming back to your stuff over and over. Oh, and your left handed customer has a lot of interesting guitars...
Happy New Year, Ted! Thanks for another year of fascinating, challenging and just plain fun repair videos. All the very best for 2023 - and better health for you and yours! Cheers from across the pond in Liverpool, UK!
Happy new year to one of the best canucks out there. Thanks for everything you do a d wishing you and your family a wonderful new year, filled with Kong Fu resets and action
Thank you Ted for another year of fascinating, informative, and outright brilliant videos. Have a Happy New Year, and regards from across the the pond ( Flintshire, North Wales).
Happy New Year from west coast BC Yeah, inflation is killing us out here as well. After watching so many of your videos I think you'd be worth the extra cost!
I mentioned before, but thanks for the vocabulary and repair lesson and the entertainment. I really enjoy your content. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Happy New Year Ted. Somehow, I stumbled across your channel a few months ago. As a musician, not a craftsman or repair person, I learn a great deal about my instrument from watching you repair them. The history lessons are facinating as well. Keep up the great videos and dedication to your art. S~
I always get a bit excited when I see a new video from you. Cheers and Happy New Year from Alberta! Much love to you and your family, from a long-time fan who has watched all your videos multiple times.
I may be a little bit of a hack when it comes to lutherie but I recognize the work of a fine craftsman when I see it. Thanks for all your effort in making these entertaining and instructive videos. Happy New Year!

For anyone curious, Levin sounds more like Leveen. Almost nailed Göteborg (Gothenburg) though. Have a happy new one!
I’m always impressed you can play the lefties. As always, thanks for playing them for us Ted.
When you convert enough of them you get pretty good.
Or go crazy.
Or both.

Did he just say "with the pointy stick"?
You're a treasure, sir.
New Year's Eve, one of the most pointless holidays ever in my opinion, just became a little more interesting. Thank you Ted!

Couldn't agree more.
@@deaddoll1361 you are a dead doll,,,and a bit of a downer,,,wouldn't trade my happy life for a hint of yours

A very characterful sound in the end I thought. Well worth repairing. All the best for 2023.

blessings to you, TWoody....see you, or your work, next year!
Nice work Ted........Thanks for the humor...makes the job go easier for sure! These old guitars are without a doubt worth saving
With that chunk of 2x4, I'm reminded of the one memorable line from Crocodile Dundee 2. "That's not a cleat. This is a cleat!"
Received my Woodford t-shirt yesterday in Perth, Western Australia. Thanks for your entertaining content.
A "Gumby" head stock!!!
Happy New Year, Ted, family and crew and everyone else,it's gonna be a great year!
I can pretty much say you’re my favourite online luthier. A very intelligent craftsman.
Excellent craftsmanship.
