I’m starting guitar number 3, this time with the Everett arm bevel video, and really can’t express how much this hobby has come to mean to me. Thanks for putting together such a rich library of resources. Sean

×I used Kent’s video and watched it over and over. It came out great! I found his method very intuitive from the start - things I never would have come up with on my own until about the 30th guitar (if then!). Barry
Arm Bevel Course - Absolute lifesaver on how to add this feature to your builds. Kent Everitt is a great instructor with tremendous knowledge, humor and straightforward approach--super easy to follow! This course saved me from making a number of costly mistakes through all of the Ah-Ha moments Kent shared. Not to mention all the little tips on how to make your building easier that had nothing to do with the arm bevel. I really appreciated it and continue to refer to it!! Todd
I purchased Robbie's Arm Bevel course for the arm bevel and cutaway. It's a fantastic course and really explains the how to in great detail. Todd
The arm bevel course by Kent Everett is great and I’ve used his basic technique on several guitars now. Kent’s procedure is logical and straight forward. Brian
I’m really enjoying the course. Kent is a great teacher. Chris
I purchased the Arm Bevel online course a couple days ago. I am really enjoying it. Chris
I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful online courses. I felt comfortable enough to try my hand at an arm bevel with your Arm Bevel online course, and I am happy with the outcome (my first ones). Thank you again and I look forward to trying out more of your courses. Jan

I’ve got the one he produced for Kent Everett on armbevels. Really well done and easy to follow. Sparky
Thanks so much for putting your teaching videos together and making them available! The Arm Bevel course allowed me to achieve my first bevel on my last build, and it wouldn't have been possible without the course you and Kent Everett put together. Shawn

I would never have known where to start without this video. Thanks to Rob and Kent for making the course available. Chris - Australia
I built a new guitar recently with a design I did from scratch. On this guitar I used the directions in your arm bevel video and the directions from your french polish course. Both were great and easy to follow. Mark in Colorado
Robbie and Kent, I just finished my first arm bevel using your method. Thanks for making the instructions available. I followed the instruction and "what do know" it worked! Thanks Steve
