Handcrafting a LES PAUL style guitar from scratch (NO SHELF this time) !
...all of his builds are amazing...can't wait until the Brian May Red Special.
It took me more than one year to finish this build, not so much because the build was complicated, but life is...
A little bit of context: this was supposed to be the material for a tutorial on how to make guitars at home for the beginner woodworker. But then I broke my wrist, and ended up making a Telecaster for that tutorial , using only one hand (most underrated video on Youtube by the way).
In March 2021 I began this build and didn't want to use the original Les Paul shape, so I redesigned the plans to my tastes. And then Crimson contacted me for the GGBO, so I did the One Piece Build which took me a few months, and then I made the Blue One for another partnership, that also took me a few months, and then life happened, and procrastination hit hard.
I immediately had mixed feelings about this build because I intended the one-piece top to be symmetrical, but the carving exposed some sapwood here and there, and I do have very bad OCD's ... Long story short, when all the pieces came together I just fell in love with the whole thing again, it sounds gorgeous to my ears and plays heavenly, I think it's my go-to guitar now ... (until I build the next one I guess). Also, I wanted this guitar to be an ode to wood, so I hope it shows!

Simple, portable and low cost solar cooker!
Will definitely be working on making a manufacturing plan for this. It is such a great and simple solution and so easy to use from scrap wood, even one single pallet would be enough.
