Interesting -- I've never seen anyone apply finish with sandpaper before. At first I cringed when starting the video, but I breathed easier later. Lol.
Even though we mourn the mindless destruction of certain classic guitars, I appreciate that people seemed more daring to mod their guitars to their own liking before the whole vintage craze started.

IGK, I think I would have un-bolted it to work on it.

That would have made it significantly harder to deal with - he didn't appear to have a very well equiped shop. By leaving it on the body it was fairly simple to clamp to the table/work bench.
FWIW, I did something similar with a Mark II classical guitar that was in pretty rough shape. I have never been able to play the wide necked classicals so I created some go/no-go guages of 1/8" plexiglass based upon my favorite shape contour of my DeArmond M-75 at the 1st; 5th; and 10th frets and transferred that shape to the Mk II. Re-fretted it which included a 12" radius fretboard reshape.
Plays like an acoustic now.

And to my knoledge most classical guitars have flat fretboard - and my Carmelo Gonzales has concave fretboard - but then - Senor Gonzales made thet guitar in Spain sometimes between 1960-1965
