- In this first part, I unbox and use the varnish made by OldWood1700. A lot of products, but do they have the desired result?

Nice instructive video. Seems to me that varnishing with your bare hands also gives you a better feeling where the varnish is applied, compared to a brush. Is that your experience too? Will you compare this varnish with e.g. the Hammerl varnish in the next video?
Cool! So satisfying watching and good for the state of mind also. Merry Christmas and on to pt. 2.
Good to hear! The same to you!
Is this violin that you built, or is this one that you bought in the white? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video!
Thank you!
Hi maestro, I am making a violin with very dark cedar and very white spruce. Any advice as to how to varnish the violin to make the two colours nearly the same?
You could apply an couple of extra colored layers to the top.
Have you used the Refractive ground from the company? If so what are your thoughts?
kemanı kurutma odasında ne kadar süre bekletiyorsunuz. 😇
Beautiful Kimon
As usual very interesting video.
Waiting for the next conclusion video about this varnishing.
Dear Kimon
If possible please see my msg on messanger. Awaiting for your veluable comments.
Hello Maestro, what type of brush do you use and do you advise me to buy it? Thank you for this wonderful video.
Very Interesting Thank You
Great video !!!!
Thank You so much for all that you do !!!!
Thank you so much Russ!
I've been looking forward to this video :-D
Old wood seems to me such an interesting but weird system, and I must say so far I like where it's going. I agree that on the video it looks a little more brown than I would make it myself, but it looks like you can actually get quite a bit of colour with very little thickness? That's something I've had trouble with using Joha
Can't wait to see your antiquing! I'm currently varnishing my violins and will be antiquing as well, so it'll be fun to see if I can pick up a few tricks of yours :-)
Excellent video! Thanks Kimon!
Thank you Ben!
Dear Maestro-Kimon another great video very informative.
I am touching up a Storioni copy that was in the family and was looking very poorly so I bought some Old Wood varnish and started to clean and touch up the violin. Everything went well except for one spot which keeps drying with orange peel. I have done nothing different compared to the rest of the violin which looks great. I have sanded with up to 3000 grit paper but this one spot keeps drying with orange peel. Do you have any advice?
Wonderful and interesting video, Maestro! When I saw the first coloured layer go on, I thought it was quite brown, as I know you tend to like reddish tones for your instruments. The finish, to my eye on the screen, looks a bit smoother when applied by hand compared to brush. I think the heat of your hand helps to smooth the application. There's something a bit fun and also quite beautiful and intimate about the physicality of the process, not just with tools, but also by touch. It's something that drew me to play the violin when I was young. I look forward to hearing your final thoughts on this product kit and how it will look. Did your fingertips get stained very much by this application?
Hello Meghann!
Thank you for your kind words! I haden't thought about the fact that the varnish gets slightly warmed up but my hands. I think that the pressure applied also helps to smoothen it up more and get it spread more evenly than with a brush. I have to say that the hole process of making an instrument is pretty intimate. Every piece of wood passes intensive though my hands, I have seen an feeled everything.
I clean my fingers with alcohol when ready and wash them with soap. Almost everything gets away fortunately!
Have a good one!
@@maestrokimon Very true! The playing of violins, violas, cellos, viols, etc. is likewise very intimate, especially with cello and perhaps harp as well, in that the body is wrapped around the instrument and the sound resonating can be felt so close. It's one of the reasons I had thought to learn to be a luthier before the pandemic and a big reason why I fell in love with playing the violin. Music is a precious thing, especially to experience it in such ways. Take care!
Como funciona esse tipo de vernis poderia explicar parabéns pelo bom trabalho
A very good book on violin varnish is the Koen Padding book from the Strad shop.
Belo trabalho.
Gracias!
thank you for your video, very insightful... would love to see how to antique a violin and the process necessary to make it look years old
Thank you! I'm going to start on the second part this week.

Great video. Hug from Brazil
Thank you! Gratings from Holland!
hello Maestro, thanks for this great video, i have a question about the Gelatin, jow you solv it a water? mean recept, procent or gram you use, thanks for answer.
Hello Aras. 100gr gelatin to 100ml water.
@@maestrokimon Thanks Maestro
@@maestrokimon hello Maestro, i think it will be 10gr gelatin to 100ml water, 100gr gelatin is to much.
@@arashamed I expect that this solution will not seal the wood properly.
Gratitud!
Merci!
