My wife stopped me (literally) as I walked out my front door a couple of years ago, she said "We will never need money in this house that badly that I would see you in this state"! I handed my van keys in that morning, I phoned my workmate to explain he said, "If a job is affecting your health, it`s time to find a new one mate"!

@maf5454 6 месяцев назад

My brother I had a similar experience with my bride. When they say to you, "you are an unhappy person and need to find something else to do" it really hit home and very hard. Fortunately I was able to leave and never look back or regret it either. Be well and safe peace to you and yours.

@T0tenkampf 6 месяцев назад

That's a really elegant way of saying that, you must be blessed in having your wife. My ex what have said it more like "Suck it up you pssy". Well not really, I wouldn't allow that kind of disrespect but she would think it. Which is why she is the ex.

@williamdesmarais4931 6 месяцев назад

Just did the same yesterday. I noticed in the past year that my mental,physical and emotional health were getting really bad. To the point that being miserable felt normal if that makes sense. Finally I said "To hell with the money. What good is money if I can't enjoy it?" I quit cold. Left the company last night and had the most peaceful drive home.

Ben, You sir are a class act. As classy as they come. Thank you for taking us along this journey with you. All the very best good sir.

@jamesortiz5388 6 месяцев назад

Your work alone inspired hundreds if not thousands of redones and luthier total builds that will be played on stages, garages and bedrooms passed down through the ages. Impressive too say the least. Do carry on with your life and call it all good. Thank you for the inspiration.

@jonhaynie1987 6 месяцев назад

Learning to say "no" is one of the most difficult lessons we learn as humans, mostly due to FOMO. However, as finite beings, saying "yes" to everything due to FOMO causes us to miss out on the full joy of the things we really love. Forget FOMO. Embrace focus. Count your blessings. Enjoy life.

@redknight1322 6 месяцев назад

Life is about choices. Vintage Tool Shop was a beautiful creation and had a fantastic run. I even bought several sets of vintage carving tools from you for my own collection. But ultimately, you have to choose what is best for YOU. While the shop may close, we will always have the memories of receiving that rare plane, chisel, handsaw, or fine wood carving tool set in the post. So, while you move on, Ben, never doubt your choices. 😢😉

@Echo3_ 6 месяцев назад

this really sucks! I feel your pain! I love doing the same thing- restoring old things giving them a second life. making something people will love and use once again, there is a spirit in it! I`m so sorry Ben :(

@mikeivey8471 6 месяцев назад

Such a sad moment !! Sad to see a true passion for you go by the way side !! I'm glad you get to do this on your terms and not forced out !! Hope this move helps you on your way "forward" . God bless !!!

@steveeason2207 6 месяцев назад

I found this out a couple of days ago when I went on the site to look at vintage strap hammers. I can see that you are clearing your mind Ben, clearing it for the better. I look forward to the future of Crimson and what you do.

@bwilson_guitarworks 6 месяцев назад

This video gets a like because you are doing what you need to, and it takes courage to be public like this with your mental health journey. For another obsessive like me, you sharing this journey with us is huge and encouraging, so thank you for this.

@mattstackhouse6292 6 месяцев назад

Partly because of you ben, when the other week I was walking around a salvage and antique store way out in the sticks, I got excited about a restored tools section. I bought an antique brace.that excitement came partly from the things I learnt from you. Thank you Ben.

@brokenwind5638 6 месяцев назад

Sorry to hear this Ben. Hanging out in the VTS and playing “what does this tool do” was definitely one of my highlights from visiting you. Look after yourself and I’m sure everything else will thrive. 👊

@Ottonic6 6 месяцев назад

@porterrasi 6 месяцев назад

Very impressive self-awareness to know when it's time to throw in the key's on a project you can tell you love so passionately. Reminds me of when my project ended and I sat on the floor of the building and wept. It's so wonderful to see you create wholesome content that brings people together and you display your passion and love. Thanks for all you do.

@ianthomson9363 6 месяцев назад

I'm sorry to see the Vintage Toolshop go, but completely understand the reason. I hope somebody makes you a good offer for the business.

You’re a good dude, Ben! I feel honored to have made it to the shop before it closed. You’re making the right moves, even though they may hurt. 👍🏻

@rayjaysonic 6 месяцев назад

Just bumped into Ben outside the Bristol guitar show. Happily he looked very enthusiastic about life and was generous to give up some of his time for a chat. Sadly my daughter was having a meltdown (sorry about that Ben) but he was very understanding. Lovely man and wish you all the best for your future projects.

@Yyz1971 6 месяцев назад

@jesusgom0245 6 месяцев назад

@BBGuitars 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on the move, have been banging on that this needed to happen for you for so long now, it will hurt short term but the long term return will be so much better for you. Concerning though that you stated GGBO is shut in way for the museum, I think I speak for many when we say we began and continued to watch and support the channel because of your building content, Q&As etc and now the guitar draw and museum stuff has pushed a lot of us away because well, its just boring... That said, if youre truly closing doors on the GGBO also, then please consider handing the reins over to someone else to run the competition and allow something that bought so much of us together to live on.

@Gamefreak8112 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the blood sweat and tears good sir. I'm not a words person in these instances, fare thee well. I experienced the phasing out of film projection, the perfect job for me. The operation and maintenance/repair was a constant and mundane but rewarding thing to do. They kept our films for the archives. It's no small thing to move on from something you love. I wish you all the luck.

@scottdahlberg4890 6 месяцев назад

I wish you all the luck in your new endevor. I understand what you are going through (mind and soul). I have been there and done that really doesn't cover all that we have gone through in our lives. I am sad that you are losing a part of what you love, but you have to know your limitations and when to cut things off before it destorys you. Good luck and God bless.

@edzammit9050 6 месяцев назад

Ben. Thank you for giving me the inspiration to work on my guitars and learn from you. Ive watched you over many years. Glad to see you put yourself first. You are a fantastic builder and working with tools. In a world full of power tools no one needs to forget that learning how to use manual tools is essential just like many of the old craftsmen have taught us. Thank you Ben. God bless.

Knowing when to walk away is a very important life skill. Putting your mental health ahead of obsession is for the good. Inspiring, Ben.

@handsofdoubt31 6 месяцев назад

Soul searching is one thing but it's a whole other leap to put those learnings into practise. You seem to be getting a good handle on life and as always sharing and helping others learn through your own journeys. Us creative types can struggle with so many things. I'm the opposite to you....suffering from option paralysis. I'm trying to learn to "just do it". Meanwhile you're learning what NOT to do. Hats off to you sir. You remain an inspiration to me.

@beatfinkbeiner4215 6 месяцев назад

Dear Ben, I can more than understand your motivations. I felt similar to you. Sometimes it's just more important to be aware of his remaining life and above all his unique health. Happiness calls from the inside and you know exactly what you have to do to experience it. This includes unbriable courage. Courage to yourself. Courage to be unique with all the talents and to yourself. You are strong and because you are carried deep inside, you will not doubt or regret any of your steps. I'm sending you all the energy in this world. With best thoughts Beat

@PherotoneStudios 6 месяцев назад

It's a shame but you need to look after you. Take care mate and no doubt see you again very soon. Love you guys

@maf5454 6 месяцев назад

My brother you will be missed. You have to do what is best for you and yours and if that means moving on so be it. I personally was relieved to be able to move on from a company and position that, frankly, was draining. The bride said to me one morning over the table "you are not a happy person and you need to find something else to do". Like most of our gender, males, we don't seem to be able to look out far enough in our own spheres and observe the affect it has on those we care the most for. Fortunately, time was kind to me and was able to leave that situation and start fresh. Now a few years removed I am able to volunteer at a shop where we refurbish and sell all manner of tools. My special "itch" are the edged tools we receive. Things like vintage knifes, chisels, and planes. You and your shop have been an inspiration to me personally. Restoring a vintage tool to what it was new and selling it to someone to use again to create is so much fun. And it also allows me to inspire young people to learn to use their hands along with their minds. Be well and safe peace to you and yours.

@gadgscoastguitars7494 6 месяцев назад

It's a sad time saying goodbye to a business you love doing (been there done that) but you have to look ater your mental and physical health and family first (and done that too), and look after your main breadwinning business. Life is about moving forward. All the best to you and yours.

@PeoplesCarpenter 6 месяцев назад

This is real wisdom, Ben, as hard as it may be. I have similar things going on, neurologically, and simplifying to focus on a smaller number of big things is absolutely the way to go. Spreading ourselves thin is so tempting, I know! But it's much healthier to say "No. This is what I'm about. This is what I can do." Your life will still be full of beauty! And tools, obviously.

@chrilleh7626 6 месяцев назад

There’s so much passion in you it’s ridiculous, you really learned the hard way, but often times it’s the only way to learn, I didn’t even learn the first second or third time, it came very hard and painful but I can’t wish it never happened, I am in a much better place now mentally physically, I I know you will be too. It’s tough and I can truly feel your pain. Stay strong!!

Man! I see so many things that I would love to have added to my own collection. I wish I knew this store existed beyond Crimson Guitars. But you gotta do what you need to. Man, I wish I had known about this place earlier.

@JayKughan 6 месяцев назад

Sorry it's come to an end. But you're absolutely right, your mental health comes 1st. Without it, not even Crimson would exist. All the best with everything else. We're always here for you! ❤

All the best for the everyone and their families!

@bhartissimo 6 месяцев назад

I can't help but feel sad that it's going. Your passion for vintage tools and the store was so clear. But if it's taking too much out of you, it's the right thing to do. Take care of yourself, Ben. We can always get vintage tools elsewhere.

@marcialavine1272 6 месяцев назад

Oh Holy Hell- I didn't even have a chance to buy anything😭 I knew it was coming, though, but the timing vs finances never seem to work in my favor. I wanted an egg beater hand drill, but every time I looked they were either too expensive for me at the time, or there weren't any at all. And of course, with my addiction to planes, I've always lusted after those.. and chisels.. and files...I'm going to regret missing out on getting at least a chisel or file, or anything, really. Anyway, I'll write more about this in the next letter, or maybe an email- I have a lot of thoughts I want to discuss or at least pass on to the one person I know who shares my love for the tools our great- great grandparents used. I do commend you for finally accepting your own limitations, and taking the realistic leap and prioritizing between what you must do, want to do, can do, and should do. It's about time, my friend. God Bless you, Ben, and Farewell, VTS.

@stickman393 6 месяцев назад

Finally! A video click-bait title that actually delivers! *laughs through tears*. Alas, but everything has its time and you take care of your priorities, Ben. I never got to visit the toolshop but very glad I got to see it and enjoy it vicariously through your videos. Thank you.

@typerexc 6 месяцев назад

I don't know why I thought of this, but reminds me of the line in Harry Potter: "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends." As well there are different kinds of courage - the courage to fight, and the courage to let go. There's valor in both. You will always be an ambassador for vintage tools, and have widened awareness and love for them, and that is a very great thing indeed.

@rle43 6 месяцев назад

Sorry to see any enterprise devoted to historic tools come to an end. When I was in grade school, learning to read, I was given my choice of a box of old library books to take home as my own. I looked at them all and chose a book on Archaeology, because of it's connection to history, and most especially, because of the pictures of old tools. I'm going on 70 years old now, and made a career in technology, of the information variety, but that was and is simply the latest incarnation of man's use of tools to create. It was that idea I fell in love with so long ago, and that flame still burns even now. Hope those tools find a good home, and that the shop may yet find a new proprietor. All the best in your next chapter.

@qesheth2 6 месяцев назад

You have to look after your mental health, your a great guy. I remember meeting you at birmingham guitar show, seeing you looking absolutely shattered on Nottingham motorway services. I thought you looked shattered as much as I would love to say hello and have a chat you looked like you just needed quiet, then you shocked me by coming and talking too me, you had no Idea that I was going through a divorce, and your taking the time to speak helped with my mental health, you may or may not belief same as me, but I'm praying for you as you move to the next season in your life, I hope I get a chance to talk to you in person again, but I am still grateful for the time on the services that day.

@philfrite5324 6 месяцев назад

I am really sorry that you still are going through it, the black dog sucks the joy and energy from everything. I have looked at the studio I built from scratch myself, brick by brick, and thought similarly, I hardly play at the moment, something that has been my life for so long. I really hope you are getting help and find the joy again. Remember it's a journey... take care.

@sunn_bass 6 месяцев назад

Always take care of yourself. I'm in a similar boat. I know the business I work at is in play for a sale, and my decision is do I retire when we get sold or hang on a little longer. I'm so tired of corporate BS that I have decided to hang it up when I turn 56 in July. I'll probably start making bass pickups (not a new skill for me) or something else guitar related. Again, take care of yourself first and foremost.

@isaacbenrubi9613 6 месяцев назад

Ben, you have done wonders and inspired so many of us. But if you say the time has come then no one knows better than you. Thanks for your efforts and just think how many tools you have saved from becoming scrap. You can of course continue from time to time to produce the odd video or 10 when across your travels you find a tool that just cries out. help! God bless.
