Oddly, I don't think Leo did it quite like this...

Not bad, kinda rough and improvised in places.

the only thing that made me go "HUH?!?!?!?!" was him drilling big holes in each half of the body, slapping some epoxy or whatever glue that was, and putting in these bolts that are clearly nowhere near the size of the holes, giving a frickin loose ass fit. Wtf for?! Could've just used wood glue or hide glue and have a perfect strong joint without a random metal bolt and a bucket of epoxy to absorb all the vibrations.

also, I would've fitted the neck before drilling for the bridge.

I would've laughed my ass off if he would have hit a bolt with the forstner..... I was hoping and hoping.. But it kind of proves a point that was made a few days ago re necks and eBay

While I think he went about parts of that in a rather odd way I have to admit, he got the job done!!

Love this vid, it reminds me of a Mr Rogers film, where he would go into a factory or something.... Very peaceful and completely awesome.
