Post subject:  Nominees for 'Most Entertaining Repair/Build Video'

There are times when a break from the rigor of repair work or the endless sanding of building is desired, so I pop over onto YouTube for some high-quality distraction. I'll cover my own current fav below, but what guitar repair or build videos are your go-to source of entertainment (versus technical rigor, usefulness, etc.)? What cracks you up, or brings tears to your eyes? Who gives Jon Stewart clips a run for their money?

My current #1 favorite...just because it's fun to see a repairman other than the boss or Mr. Morelli engaged in a nonsensical rant. The comments are priceless:

I liked the story in the comment section about the pastor and the donkey. It made a good point.
I've watched a few of his videos, and although I don't subscribe to some of his methods he does seem willing to take on some jobs others would consider economically unrepairable. Although lacking the finesse of a Frank Ford he does git'er done. He has a nice singing voice.

For those who appreciate the fine finishes of PRS here's a video for your entertainment :

This guy (Crimson Guitars) for the most part knows what he is doing, but I find his videos more entertaining and a little less dry than most repair videos.

Mark Erlewine working on Willie Nelson's "Trigger" is getting lots of likes over on the Seymour Duncan Forum. One poster even proclaimed Mark "The Bob Ross of Luthiery". Another wanted Mark to record videos just talking about guitars as a restful prelude to sleep.
