Yeah i mean he seems like a ****** bag in the sense he has such a hopped up website, and even videos of himself. I could just be hatin, but it makes me feel like 40$ is a hot dog down a hallway for this guy..

Trust Beandip to tell it like it is.
Cutting/slotting a new guitar nut involves more work than just the nut itself. The guitar will need a set-up. A good repairer will invite you to bring the guitar back a few weeks later to check that things have settled in correctly.
Getting this sort of work wrong could easily turn a professional quality instrument into a dawg. All to save a few bucks. This is your (second) best friend that we are talking about.

Those 40 dollar jobs are the meat and potatoes of the lutherie business. Very rarely will you have that 400 dollar neck reset come in that will help out, the majority of your work is the 40-100 dollar repairs. But you do 12 a day for a month, you can pay the bills.
Don't think that because it's such a small job that he'll seem overqualified for it. To do a nut, and do it correctly, takes quite a bit of skill. Check out some of the nuts on Frank Ford's site "Frets.com". You'll see what I mean.
