a day in the workshop - episode one || evan kingma guitars

Hey folks! In the first episode of this series, you can see me scraping and sanding the bindings of the guitar I am working on. This is always one of my favourite stages, as when the bindings are installed, they are over-sized, dirty, and covered in glue, and you slowly get them flush with the body of the guitar and cleaned up and the true edge of the guitar is finally revealed. It is, however, pretty slow and dusty work. This series is designed to give you a glimpse of what I do every day. My goal is to make this series quite relaxing and to let you be a fly on the wall so to speak, so you can watch me just quietly working away. While the videos may not be very informative, please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Despite its name, the entire video does not necessarily show everything I have done for work that day, only the things I bothered to record. For instance, while the camera is charging, I am still working, or sometimes I just need/want to not worry about the camera so I don’t film some tasks. I hope to have an episode out every week or two just to show you all what’s happening in the shop that given week. If you enjoyed this video, please feel free to like, comment, and subscribe.
