When I was in my 20 s, I daydreamed about getting a job making musical instruments and I came this close to getting a job at Dusty Strings, a musical instrument making shop in Seattle. This video that Tara made here at Etsy pulls on my heart strings. Part of me wonders what my life would be like now if instead of teaching and making videos, I had become a musical instrument maker. If you ever dreamed of making your own guitar or just would like to see behind the scenes into the workshop of a Luthier, then this video is for you. It s all about James Peters, his family, and his business, armor guitars, making custom guitars. - MP4 Link While there, Tara shot a bunch of footage and put together a bunch of little videos and we decided to put them all out in one blogpost. I love this format. It s like having a bunch of windows to look through to see a story. James whole family makes a living on Etsy. Which is awesome. I love the idea that you can live wherever you want in the country and still make a living selling things on the internet. He s not only a musical instrument builder, but he s also a musician. Check out these two videos of him playing and singing. Great stuff. - Link
