'try'
It's only a small word, but it says a LOT :D

Jesus christ :(.
Best comment I saw on second one was
"holy cr@p. You could do a top carve with a cheese grater too, but it's not recommended."
"Expert Village"?? More like complete and utter t*%t village. Had to watch em twice to be sure they weren't a p*ss-take.
Speechless.

If he's a professsional, then why doesn't he just invest in SM's Jaws press? Maybe they hired an actor for the job! Since when does it take 2 people to fret a guitar? I think it's the Blue Peter method - here's one the expert fretted earlier, we'll throw away this balls up that I just made.
-
Is heavy breathing neccesary to fret a guitar? along with the fumbling?
Vastly appalled by the levelling of frets, I see they were beautifully crowned too
-
Those videos are hilarious. I like the bit where he says "this one has a lot of high bits, and that's because we've just inserted the frets", but forgets to mention the word "badly"...
Surely this IS a piss take? Fumbling aside (and the insertion of the frets is absolutely priceless: CRUNCH as the vice grip of doom, complete with hand-'steadied' fret radius tool of disaster come crashing down on the unattached fretboard of destiny) the quality of the video is dismal!

OH DEAR GOD, I hadn't got onto the file bit when I posted last. ARGH! The sound!!

In case you haven't seen one of the first ones where he explains why he's not using the right tools, I thought I'd post it here. So basically, if you haven't got any of the right tools, don't worry! You don't need any of those big expensive machines like in the factories (or even the correct tools for the job that real luthiers use), just go to daddy's tool kit and fetch the biggest set of pliers and the straightest-looking rasp!
Job Done!

Favourite 'expertvillage' quote so far: "And a hammer is always handy, regardless of what tool you're working on."

It's going to be a long thread, then ;)

i like this

why not invest in a press fret or fret presses... never forget though apparently a large rubber mallet is always handy with any tool you happen to be using!!!
this ones just pointless

Dear god. Where do they find these people?
I'm just wondering what Feline's going to say when he sees the refret king in all his glory! :lol:
-
Rolls eyes :roll:
What more can I say that the man dint say himself...
I 'm not keen on how he has done that
Nowhere near enough care in keeping the fretboard surface level and flat.
Pushing frets into tight slots can in itself create backbow in a neck - let alone an unglued fingerboard
OK - somebody buy one of my guitars and I promise to use the money to get a HD video camera and make a better series of videos and show how I do it here!
And I will do some nut and Earvana installation videos too.
