I thought the video was going a 10 second short where he would just sawz-all the neck off and call it "fixed".

I watch several luthiers on YT for entertainment. (OK, I need to get a life.) My first reaction was, it won't work. This looks like it might be real innovation. IMO, the whole goal in automation is to give relief from "donkey work," which is generally not profitable. It looks like he really gets there. I figure there is a pretty tight luthier community where they watch each others' videos and likely have actual live conversations. If this really does work, it will go viral pdq. Good share. Thanks.
