Humans can do some amazing things! He has 6 vids on youtube, very fun to watch. Hard to understand. :-)

I am impressed he was able to bend them close enough to each other to joint them together. I have trouble getting a good joint on straight plates when doing the top and back.

The shots at the end showed a real nice looking instrument - and there is a vid of it being played as well, and it sounds good. I think the b/s were both pine; the top was cedar, which he hand planed to thickness in another vid. All in all pretty impressive. The man can talk up a storm, wish I knew what he was saying, though I might make a guess when he was showing that little crack in one of the sides. :-)
