    Not a luthier, or a musician, but I really do enjoy seeing the process of making a high end guitar. I have dabbled with restoring old woodworking hand tools back to working order. It is a joy to see a well tuned hand plane being used to create a thing of beauty. I was a little surprised to see the use of PVA for glue ups. I would have thought hide glue would have been the adhesive of choice for a high end instrument. A little searching revealed it is very common among luthiers. I know it's easier to work with PVA, but I would have thought repairability down the road would trump ease of use. I bow to experience, however.

    As an artisan myself, watching you craft an acoustic guitar soundboard was captivating. Your immense skill, care and creative vision are evident in your exquisite instruments.
    The handmade paper guitar rosette was stunning. Seeing the marbled acrylic shaped with such precision into a work of art was a first for me.
    I appreciated your openness in sharing bracing techniques. You make a good point - sharing knowledge advances the craft and builds community. An instrument's essence lies in the artist, not just technical details.
    Your passion for luthiery shines through. The feminine pink inlays you chose will make a gorgeous, artful guitar. I look forward to seeing the finished instrument assembled and voiced. Your videos are a joy to watch. Thank you for welcoming us into your workshop and guiding us through your creative process.

      @@DaisyTempest you’re very welcome, building musical instruments is an art form of its own, I am retired, my trade was a specialist Joiner cabinetmaker, for approximately 50 years. Oh my God, about 10 to 15 years ago, I needed something to take my mind off a lot of problems, so I would go out and I will purchase broken and damaged electric guitars, I even brought a couple of mandolins, one, especially I had to rejig and re-set the neck add somebody and try to glue it back in with a load of contact adhesive, I have now rebuilt some between seven and eight musical instruments, even to the point of putting new electronics in the upgrades, the only thing is, I wish to play, but you do say, music is a good healer for the soul and mind, but when I hit a note on the string, there is note what you really want to hear,
      I wish you all the success for the future , I look forward to watching part two, Phil from the moulin,

    @dennissilber287 10 місяців тому +3

    Love your videos. In your explanation about moon spruce and it’s qualities I think you said that a tight grain is more desirable for high end guitars. In the US where I’m from people often pay a premium for guitars with an Adirondack, or red spruce top. It’s valued for its powerful sound projection which gives it an ability to be played especially loudly compared with Sitka spruce. Adirondack spruce has an irregular and wide, not tight, grain pattern that is not as aesthetically pleasing as AAA Sitka. In the US the use of Adirondack spruce was until recently associated with the pre-war Martin D-28. It was a scarce tone wood until recently and has made a comeback. So tight vs. wide grain in terms of high end guitars doesn’t seem to me a matter of what is more desirable for high end guitars as much as a matter of what kind of tone you have in mind when you build a guitar. Martin uses both woods in their highest level instruments to cater to a variety of preferences. Keep making your vids and I’ll keep watching.
