Just a quick note to say thanks for your Tips du Jour segments! I'm finishing my first acoustic instrument (tenor uke) using Royal Lac with a dust/shellac pore filler treatment. Both are working out very well, thanks to you - and more patience than I thought I'd need. Craig in Canada

I am finding your video-recommendations on many different topics and issues, and I have to note that your advices and methods are the most useful and practical over the Youtube, your videos are short but covering the issues at the fullest. Many thanks for sharing your experience this way!! Mikheil

I’ve been enjoying the Luthier Tips du Jour videos, very informative. These days I’ve been watching just about every lutherie video I come across. Lots of great information. Colleen

Your luthier tips du jour, have been invaluable in learning about more than can be taught from a book about the building process. Neil

Thanks for all you’ve done on the Tips du Jour channel. It’s really driving my interest in guitar building. Lim Hock JIn

What a great video brother, THANK YOU Joshua

Your Tips du Jour videos are always interesting. I purchased them today in support of your time putting them together and their content of course ! Dermot

I purchased the complete set of your Tips du Jour videos, also extremely helpful! All of them… Steve

The best tutorial for setting up an acoustic. I'm Always coming back to this video each time I set up my guitar. EZ

My name is Sean from Pittsburgh Pa. I just finished my 1st steel string last week, and I wanted to let you know that your YouTube videos were invaluable to me. There are tons of videos out there showing the steps, but yours are concise and to the point you show the steps while not making us watch the entire process. They’re well produced, and always enjoyable to watch (and I always enjoy the “dad jokes”) While California is likely too far for me to ever participate in one of your in person workshops, I wanted to let you know how much help you were to me and that I really admire your work. Sean

Love your Tips du Jour. Astrobooder

I watch all of your videos and they are quite entertaining as well as informative! Steve

I just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much I appreciate all of your youtube videos. I can’t even tell you how much I’ve learned from them. I’m working on my second and third Martin kits right now & your videos have given me the confidence to tackle a build from scratch. With extreme gratitude, I thank you. Ross

Hello from Michigan. Interesting coincidence. This technique worked like a charm on two guitars of mine. I practiced on my old classical. Then repaired my favorite Taylor. Thanks again for sharing your expertise. Keith

I have watched your videos and luthier tips on you tube for quite a while now and find them to be very informative and have learned a lot from watching them. So much so that I now do my own setup on acoustic and classical guitars. Tony

I've been watching a few of your "Tips du Jour" videos this morning. They are SO good! For one thing, you know what you are talking about.

Love watching your YouTube videos.Great ? Donald

Thank you for making your instructional videos! I have been watching your Luthier Tips du Jour relentlessly to learn guitar repair and building. After watching and learning from your video's they have given me the confidence and practical skills to work on my own guitar's. I have been successful in using your techniques to transform a $20 dollar guitar with many problems into one of the best sounding and most played guitars of all of my collection. Brent

I used another of your Tips du Jour yesterday evening on the body of the tenor guitar project. I had a small gap next to the binding I needed to fix. Medium CA, some Rosewood sawdust, and lots of elbow grease made the gap vanish. Thanks for that tip, Robbie. Tony
