You are worshipped on CZcams for your musical prowess and photographic genius. And also for not blowing your woofer valve out while attempting a single pull-up.
Enjoyed having a nosey around your lovely home. I wish you both a Very Happy Christmas and Peaceful Healthy New Year. Thank you for the fun you have given us this year and look forward to your new adventures in 2024. Beautiful cats too what more could you ask for.
Great video !!!! So now I can see, you are multi-talented, have a beautiful home, and Amanda is gorgeous. That pretty much sums it up. Merry Christmas to you both !!!!
Mind blown by the fact you made that song, it's a beautiful song I've always loved it. The bass you made looked beautiful from a distance 🤣 if it sounds right and it doesn't hurt you then it's a good un. I'd love more insights in to your musical background
I didn't mention your guitar work... . I was a Bedroom Guitar player growing up... I'm astounded by your Luthier training and playing skills!!! Mount Olympus qualities on their own right to me!!!
I was wondering why I hadn't seen any progress on Hardcastle Towers but it's great to see that it's a livable home now. Completely understand about the monetization stuff. Loved the tour, I think I love the cats the most! How are they liking the huge space?
What a great job you two are doing on your place, it’s looking amazing. Talk about room. Wow. And your studio looks fantastic. The folks who make Davinci Reslove (Blackmagic Design), won’t be going out of business any time soon, they make incredible video hardware, switchers etc and the CEO is a genius. I may end up taking the leap from adobe myself.
Super set up Gavin. Really enjoyed seeing all the kit you use. Loved the guitars and kudos for playing the tune on your videos, it’s a belter. Cracking desk set up, but you need some cable ties for the back 😂 The house renovation is coming along nicely 👍
Gavin. I have binge watched your entire CZcams collection. They have been informative and awe inspiring. They have also given me many many tears of laughter. May I wish you and Amanda a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2024.
My goodness! what an incredibly talented and gifted person you are: musician, luthier, photographer, home renovations and comedian and on and on. Great equipment vid. Thanks for all you do. Best of the season to you both.
House conversation looks lovely, looking forward to eventually seeing those videos. Can't beat a Baryta paper for monos. Excited to see what 2024 will bring.
It doesn't matter how many times I hear that stonking piece of music of yours, once it gets revved up it's brilliant. Thanks Gavin. Best wishes to you both.
What a great video Gavin. You make guitars, play them and write songs. The "Dreaming while Flying" music has always been my favorite in your videos and anyone of the phototogs videos I watch; but to find out you wrote and play it! Man of many talents. House looks great too. Think about a video sometime of you performing that song.
Loved the tour! That's an awesome office. I especially like the curved wood-wave walls. Really cool. I had no idea you were a luthier and musician. And imho you're doing it right as far as having all the fitness gear close at hand; already set up, to make it that much easier to start a workout. I also admire the price-agnostic/if-it-ain't-broke ethos and not creating mountains of waste from getting the latest-greatest; throwing out good gear just because it's old.
Not a bad little ecclesiastical space! 🙏 I guess if the photography doesn't pan out, you can always go back to whittling guitars out of drift wood? 😊👍😁
Thank you for all the awesome videos and photographs you shared throughout the year, along with the awesome song you wrote! Merry Christmas Gavin & Amanda!
Thanks Gavin. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Great to see the improvements that you have made to your home. I am one of the pests who have been asking where the next Hardcastle Tower video was. Keep up the good work.
Photography, acting, video editing, music composition, performance and production, home renovation… what a man of many talents you are! BTW, Hardcastle Towers is looking fantastic - I can't believe you've done all that in such a short time!
Thank you so much for sharing the epic music file with us! I've longed to hear the entire thing since I first heard it as the harbinger of an "epic photo to come".
Gavin! Well done for learning how to and actually making guitars.... They are not worthless at all... and you have really honed those wood working skills... 😊
Great tour of the studio Gavin! Thanks for that. And nice collection of guitars and bass's. I love that design feature of the see-through truss rod. Makes it easier to see when it needs adjusting! Cheers!
Loved the video Gary, Sunday evenings wouldn’t be complete without a Fototripper & Roy video. Really interesting as usual as that church begins to take shape and it’s true a home isn’t a home without a cat or two. Great stuff, hope you can fit 9n more videos like this sometime.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Appreciated the tour update (including the church) and I especially appreciated the light humor and not too much of the over-the-top corny stuff.
About time you got a sponsor, and it is something that will be useful to many photographers. I got a treadmill after your last video, a great idea, but already had a standing desk similar to your new desk. Something else I do sometimes, is to put on a CZcams video of a walk somewhere, and just stroll along while watching
Great workspace. I've always thought that desks that adjust in height is a brilliant idea. Love that you have a drawer full of chocolate in the same room where you exercise. Happy holidays to you and Amanda and your families.
Great office setup man. I know know if you will find this helpful, but I started eating one meal a day about 10 months ago and I've lost about 70lbs. I eat lunch because for some reason, at dinner I can really power eat. But I haven't been to the gym or anything else. I don't drink sugar drinks, but I do drink some zero drinks and my coffee with Spenda. So, it's IF but man, I weigh less than I did in high school and to be honest, when I started I looked so similar to you. You look good man, even now. But I'm telling you, trust me on this. One meal a day, sugar subs only in your drinks and you will be shocked.
Haha, if you drink it with lunch, the one meal you eat, it's ok. Today marks 10 months for me doing this and I started at 284lbs and today I just hit 200 lbs even. If you are interested, I'll unhide an embarrassing video showing how fat I was on my channel and you can compare to my current. People around me are all copying my diet now. @@fototripper
Nice desk. You need to be sponsored by someone who does cable management though. ;) Gavin, we aren't as spry as we once were, don't try parkour jumping out of the attic. Just use the ladder. Trust me. The church is coming along nicely.
I've been watching your building progress but never realised you had both got it to this lovely standard, it's looking fantastic. I knew you were a luthier but for some strange reason never realised you actually played yourself. I'm getting through my Chasing Awe book and never want it to end, when's the next one coming off the press. P.S Amanda, thanks for the unicorn and love the cats as well ☺ I've also watched your brilliant Mastering Sharpness Course once and I'm now watching it again as the content for myself, a newbie, is priceless, so thanks millions for that 👍
Hardcastle Towers is looking awesome :-) Well done. I thought the "gym" thingy was a minimalist wardrobe ;-) Knew you have musical talents and thank you for making Dreaming While Flying available. Really great track. I hope you and Amanda have a wonderful Christmas and what remains of 2023. All the best, Andrew.
I have several guitars in my photo office too. They aren't expensive ones either but I can't really play much so... You win! Loved seeing you play a bit there and the cat cameo. Thanks for sharing your personal space with the rest of us. Hope you had a very merry Christmas and that the new year will treat you well!
Great tour and the church conversion looks stunning. Thanks for the amazing content, the laughs, tips, tricks etc. Keep up the fabulous work and wishing you, Amanda and Leo and very merry Christmas. The really good news, you did one more pull up than me... Superb. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im a big fan. You deserve everything you have. You worked so hard for what you have. I am an amateur photographer getting into landscape. Your videos inspire me to go to hard to reach places to shoot sunsets and sunrises. My poor wife has to listen to me say “ it’s 4am, I’ve slept 5 hours and I have a face like a weeping Angela Merkel” 😂. Can’t wait for your next video! Love you guys.
Awesome video Gavin. Life isn't all landscape locations and camper. Take my hat off to you both. Maxing-out two worlds. A bit cool you're a Luthier too Mate. Cheers and all the best.
Classic photographer moment, didn't even put on a clean shirt! lolol Thanks for the tour! If you're in the market for a wireless headset and already like the senni's, can't go wrong with momentum 4's. Great sound and the noise cancelling is good enough to drown out crowds at airports, the plane itself, snoring wife (can confirm). Have had mine for about 18 months now.
Lovely little spot you've got there, buddy! Great to see a fellow musician as well. Although I'm sure your workload is lengthy enough - any further plans for more music compositions for your content?
Gavin, after watching this fascinating video I feel the need to say a few things. First, thank you for being an inspiration to this photographer, and thank you for sharing that portion of your personal life that we all find interesting! Next, I got very excited about signing up for your Newfoundland Workshop, and then got screwed when I consulted my calendar where I've scheduled an event on that weekend that I have no way to avoid. Bummer! I will look forward to other workshops! Last, a bit of irony or serendipity, whatever you might call it. I was blown over by your revealing your music and that special piece called, "Dreaming While Flying." Not only is it beautiful to listen to, but I just published a work of my bird photography called, "Flight Dreams!" In my introduction, I wrote about how we learn to fly in our dreams. I truly hope there will be a moment in time where we could compare notes.

The Hardcastle 'castle' looks great! Nice conversion.
You are worshipped on CZcams for your musical prowess and photographic genius. And also for not blowing your woofer valve out while attempting a single pull-up.
I need to fit “blow out your woofer valve” into at least one conversation today…
you won't go wrong using that one! @@AJ82778
Merry Christmas Gavin and Amanda - love your work
Fun ! Guitar, photography, art, cats! Chocolate! My kinda people
Dreaming While Flying always gets me. Every dang time. And to get a glimpse of you playing it!!! My day is made.
Enjoyed having a nosey around your lovely home. I wish you both a Very Happy Christmas and Peaceful Healthy New Year. Thank you for the fun you have given us this year and look forward to your new adventures in 2024. Beautiful cats too what more could you ask for.
I want more videos about hardcastle towers! Good to know you’ve filmed it though.
Great video !!!! So now I can see, you are multi-talented, have a beautiful home, and Amanda is gorgeous. That pretty much sums it up. Merry Christmas to you both !!!!
Aye, I'm a lucky bugger.
Mind blown by the fact you made that song, it's a beautiful song I've always loved it. The bass you made looked beautiful from a distance 🤣 if it sounds right and it doesn't hurt you then it's a good un. I'd love more insights in to your musical background

That guitar tune is brilliant! God has loaded you with many talents.
Merry Christmas have a good year.
Thanks for the tour. Brilliant studio space and living area
Love that musical piece!
😮”dreaming while flying” is your composition?? love it !! please, tell Amanda, this kind of document is very delicious! 😋😋😋
Oh I was hoping to see Thomas join you on the studio tour. Always entertaining tuning in to your channel. Keep up the great work.
Good tour MR Gavin. Those documents taste good huh Amanda. I love the things you get yourself into thank goodness you are a good actor lol.
You've cracked on with that place Gav, looks fab.Merry christmas to you both and thanks for the enjoyable content
I was wondering why I hadn't seen any progress on Hardcastle Towers but it's great to see that it's a livable home now. Completely understand about the monetization stuff. Loved the tour, I think I love the cats the most! How are they liking the huge space?
They love the huge space but often look longingly out the window. It breaks me hear to keep them in but it'd break more if they were Coyote food.
One thing you forgot to add is a NAS drive for photo backups. Nice video!
Gerrin touch NAS manufacturers...
I like that piece of music Gav, impressed it’s by you. Think it’s about time you used it again.
Yah, just need some stormy weather.
Merry Christmas to the both of you and thank you for the video's👍
Its been really fun but also inspiering watching your channel true the year. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a good recovery.
What a great job you two are doing on your place, it’s looking amazing. Talk about room. Wow. And your studio looks fantastic.

Wow the renos look amazing thanks for taking us through your studio.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year 🎉
Thanks for the tour! The "church" is looking quite homey!

Can't beat a Baryta paper for monos.
Excited to see what 2024 will bring.
It doesn't matter how many times I hear that stonking piece of music of yours, once it gets revved up it's brilliant. Thanks Gavin. Best wishes to you both.
Congratulations on all the work you have put into renovating the church. It looks wonderful.
You are a talented Renaissance Man.
I think Leo has a new fan… my Millie was just enthralled watching the screen when he was on 🤣😻

Thanks Gavin. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Great to see the improvements that you have made to your home. I am one of the pests who have been asking where the next Hardcastle Tower video was. Keep up the good work.
Gavin, normally we stand for number 1's, and sit for number 2's, but each to their own!
I’ve had that tune going through my head all day now!
Merry Christmas
Thanks for showing us around your home and you’ve done a fantastic job 👍🏽
Watching this with my cats siiting beside me. They love Fototripper too! Thanks for the tour and all the best of the season!
The music you shared is as good as your pictures. Thanks for continuing to entertain and educate us .
Sorry to hear about your fall. Hope your recovering well. The house is looking good - Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas.
Big changes to the abode! Looking great with the finished rooms and comfortable atmosphere. Have a great holiday guys!
One of my favorite CZcams channels. I'm excited to see you hit the 100k mark.
The island misses u!! I miss seeing our backyard on your videos! I started taking photos cause of u
Thank you for the tour of Hardcastle Towers! It is great to see the progress. Happy Holidays!
Photography, acting, video editing, music composition, performance and production, home renovation… what a man of many talents you are! BTW, Hardcastle Towers is looking fantastic - I can't believe you've done all that in such a short time!
Thanks Rob. We've got a long way to go. There is no kitchen.
@@fototripper Bummer. I guess even Pot Noodles get boring pretty fast…
I also have a Flexispot desk since almost a year and I really like it. I wish you both a wonderful Christmas!
Desk setting #2 should be the sitting position , shouldn't it? 😂
Haha I thought the same! Lol
I thought squat for number two.
Thank you so much for sharing the epic music file with us! I've longed to hear the entire thing since I first heard it as the harbinger of an "epic photo to come".
Church/House is really coming along. Very nice!
When I was a kid. Pull ups were easy. Time flies. Like the show
Hope you're recovering well from that 12ft fall! The church seems to be coming along nicely, too! Glad to see you're doing well! 😊
Gavin! Well done for learning how to and actually making guitars.... They are not worthless at all... and you have really honed those wood working skills... 😊
Great tour of the studio Gavin! Thanks for that. And nice collection of guitars and bass's. I love that design feature of the see-through truss rod. Makes it easier to see when it needs adjusting! Cheers!
Exactly! Ibanez will be licensing the patent any day now...
Good job so far… 👍
Thanks for the tour. I really enjoy the content. Hope you and Amanda have a joyous holiday.
You made a home out of an old church. Pretty cool.
Loved the video Gary, Sunday evenings wouldn’t be complete without a Fototripper & Roy video. Really interesting as usual as that church begins to take shape and it’s true a home isn’t a home without a cat or two.
Great stuff, hope you can fit 9n more videos like this sometime.

Keep up the great work and humor!
Great workspace. I've always thought that desks that adjust in height is a brilliant idea. Love that you have a drawer full of chocolate in the same room where you exercise. Happy holidays to you and Amanda and your families.
You have done a hell of a good job on making those bases

Enjoyed that, Gavin...nice to see the shout-out to Vancouver Island as well...
Love the music ( at minute 8:40 ), it sounds like beach & sea ! 🌴🏖🌴
Marvelous video and really enjoyable to see. I love following along on the journey.
Nice one :-) Thanks for showing us around

Those pull ups rocked my world 💪🏻

Nice to see fellow man who is as dedicated to health and fitness (with the same outcomes) as myself - very inspiring! Merry Xmas to you both!!
Thanks for showing you insides to me. All the best M (Kent UK)

quite some changes at Hardcastle Towers! Looking a bit more snug than the last time we saw it! Have a lovely Christmas you two 🙂
The place is really coming together, Gavin. Merry Christmas to you, Amanda and the cats. Have a prosperous New Year. Tom
Damn you, Bugger! Just ordered FlexiSpot desk... Next: the Ball & treadmill... Thank you for the suggestion...
Good show mate. Thank you for what you do. I get a kick from your humor. Don't change a thing.
Very nice "change of pace." Interesting to see your set-up. Merry Christmas to the two of you!
Amazing progress on the church! I love the wood of the original ceiling in your office. Merry Christmas!
Yeah, it's my fave feature
Awesome video Gavin. Life isn't all landscape locations and camper. Take my hat off to you both. Maxing-out two worlds. A bit cool you're a Luthier too Mate. Cheers and all the best.
I was a Luthier for about 5 minutes. Can't remember any of it now.,
Classic photographer moment, didn't even put on a clean shirt! lolol Thanks for the tour!

Is there a link?
