Drat!

Removed the good videos, and left the Durian one.

Mica, Valentino, I don't know if this was a mothership decision, but I thought they were pretty cool really.

Yes I thought it was cool too.

If that's what my Further fretboard had to go through, wow! That the fretboard is so excellent goes to show how some skill and a power tool can make art!

I would feel disaster every second I had the tool on the fretboard, eep!

It was neat to see the method, but it might be giving away trade secrets of Alembic if the shop vids stayed up on youtube. It could be why they were pulled...?

Trade secrets like:

We use grinders, torches, and the occasional plunge router?

I think the real reason is because there was a F***** bass depicted. The horror! Bolts!

PS- for those humo(u)r impaired: I'm going now to have my tongue surgically removed from my cheek.

Judging by how sharp that tongue is, the surgeon may send you to alembic for them to give that tongue a severe grinding... lol :-)

Ok. I think what's going on here is that the videos were not actually representive of work being done at the Alembic shop as I, and apparently others, mistakenly assumed. It follows that the videos were probably removed because of the inaccurate impressions they were making.

They certainly did make an impression.

Bring back the grinders!

Bring back the flames!
