Just got my hands on Mr Robert O'Brien's fine DVD on guitar finishing. Havent watched all of it yet but what I have watched looks excellent. An excellent and highly useful reference thanks Robbie. Cheers |

I just completed French polishing my first guitar since watching Robbie's dvd. This guitar had the best finish yet. His techniques on how to properly FP really made a huge difference in the results. My only problem spots were where the fretboard meets the top. Those areas require just a litle more practice. Cheers! John |

I'll second what John says about the FP section. Robbie's approach is far simpler that the Milburn tutorial and I was able to get a superior surface finish with much less effort. His method is KISS at its finest. Robbie...my elbow thanks you! |

I'll sing accolades for Robbie's DVD too. I've used it to learn about pore filling, KMT-9 and now spraying lacquer. The steel string DVD is packed full of useful info too. Both have helped me tremdously.

I can vouch for the fact that Robbie is just as good in person as in any of his videos. If you are in the denver/metro area, check Robbie out at Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, CO. It is an excellent woodworking utopia, one made so much more valuable by Robbie's expertise and enthusiasm. |
