Loving the new video/ sound quality! I was surprised by the guitar studio, it's a great idea! Those students are extremely lucky to be tutored by Brad!
Sound quality is great! Reckon you'll figure out what works best for different scenarios and what sort of levels you should be running but happy to see you guys investing into these videos!
We always look forward to your videos. We weren't bothered about the video or sound quality previously. We were pleasantly surprised by the section on the guitar making. (After watching you stumbling around with not being able to design a chair over the last few weeks). Dylan my life and business partner has also left a comment. She thinks all you young men are doing a great job.
lapel mike is great. you don't even need to shout in the noisy shop and that geeetar class lab is awesome. i'd love to see some of the final products from the students.
Your vidéos are just the bests ! I'm à young independant french woodworker, I discoverd this job a year ago and I learn à lot with your vidéos, you allow us to watch one of the most beautifull Wood slabs in the world I think and thank you very much for that ! Your vidéos all makes me dream I if one Day you're looking for à french trainee it would be a pleasure for me to work in the black forest Wood company and next to you !! Wish you the best guys and I'm impatient to see next week's vidéo !
Oh Yes, this is so much better! I would have loved to be there for the unloading of the timber, looks like you have some awesome slabs there. I am fascinated by the hand held CNC, as a retired cabinetmaker I am envious of all the new tech., to make life a little easier. Looking forward like you to the trip, cant wait for the next vid. Cheers.
It is really exciting for me to witness the change of your company! Can not wait to see more of our beloved wood and Joe's funny faces in 4k :D Keep it up boys! greetings from Germany :)
Sound and video quality is much better, great investment you guys did in your videos! Beautiful wood you received. What a potential! You guys must be just as excited when you receive that kind of wood.
@@BlackForestWoodCo I can certainly understand that! That is beautiful wood. And you guys produce beautiful work, and should be recognized as you certainly has been - not least on this media.
Great to see the guitar shop, couldn't believe it, you guys have all these hidden talents! I'm always so impressed by your knowledge & passion for what you do & how you're always looking for ways to improve & upgrade. Sound quality was greatly improved 👍😃
Great video!!! Sound and picture quality are outstanding. Enjoyed seeing the new shipment of wood. Looking forward to watching future pours. Had no idea Black Forest had a guitar making school. Keep up the good work.
Very happy to see the guitar studio. You guys do so much more than epoxy pouring, and I really like it when you show different things. Noticed the up in picture quality as soon as you started using it. That burl is such gorgeous wood- will you be selling smaller parts of it?
Sound quality of the Rodes was good even in high noise areas. Upgrades were necessary. Good job. The lutherie school was interesting. I hope everything goes well for you.
Based on your positive comments and great relationship with GL I purchased a 4 x 8 sheet from them that was supposed to be quarter sawn red oak. What I received looked more like plain sawn and had no similarity to quarter sawn veneer on furniture I own. I attempted when ordering to communicate what I was hoping to receive with two people at GL who were demonstrably disinterested in my attempts to communicate. My failure was not insisting on a photo of the sheet beforehand and being an extremely small purchaser.
Props on the video equipment upgrade, sounds and looks great. Also, Guitars, Awesome. The ones shown were all acoustic. Do you guys do electric guitars too? Would be interesting to see some small ones made with a small burl and epoxy.
How is the shaper origin? I am very tempted to go out and get it but am very leery it could be practical in my shop. Since your my local wood store thought id ask, oh yeah I moved closer to you guys now lol
We love it for smaller designs like the one in this video, it's way faster than using the CNC, and it's pretty easy to use, it's almost like playing a video game; it's fun haha
when I was just a teenager in Toronto back in the late 70's/80's I worked in a building that had many units and one of them was a guitar maker her name was Linda Manzer and she went on to be a well known maker it was interesting to watch her work made me want to do woodworking even more after I met her I was kind of on the fence was doing metal work at the time but was interested in woodwork have you heard of her ???? another great video
Absolutely love the guitar stuff. Love all the different possible combinations of wood. Would you guys ever do electric guitar builds? Or offer sized pieces/ slabs of wood for creating an electric guitar? As a guitar player myself, I would be very interested in building an electric guitar. Preferably a neck through design. Love you guys content and epoxy/woodworking!
Looking forward to next week when the BF Woodstock Crew breaks out those custom guitars for a jam - it should sound real good with that new shotgun mic!
Check out Ask Olaf the Violin Maker. He’s a luthier in Australia. I’m stunned to learn you have a luthier school on top of everything else. When do you boys sleep? Snow already?
Nice upgrades to the audio & camera little tip put the lapel mike down a little on your shirt so it doesn’t pick up so much base & vibrate, I’ve seen vloggers clip it to their shirt under their pullovers which also cuts wind noise without compromising audio quality a dead mouse is also essential for wind noise on lapel 🎙 . Check out Levi Allen he’s an adventure film maker & vlogger he’s got LOADS of great tips & tricks.
loving the guitar studio work - epic - i love music - would be rubbish at playing guitar (doesn't interest me - BUT i wonder if you might some day experiment to make a front panel (only) in the style of your tables, might be REAL interesting experiment, probably need to CNC it, might be fragile, but an epic test, have one backlit - sorry but love pushing the boundaries, my guess would be a soft wood to be able to soak up the resin, very interesting, might need to be vacuumed ie like when making carbon fibre, oooh oooh carbon fibre mixed into you tables, BAD ASS! - so many possibilities PS camera n sound - epic
Out of curiosity, Canada has a ton of wood suppliers and probably more forests than in the US. Why do you source from the US and not Canada? Not meant to be critical, legitimately curious.
We source from both! We get salvaged wood from everywhere we can in North America pretty much. GL Veneer just also happens to have a crazy amount of wood selection and we've ended up becoming friends with Daniel who owns it, so we want to work with and support our friends as well!
Hi great to see you are investing in some better gear to upgrade your production, may I also suggest looking at the Rode Wireless Go ( www.rode.com/wireless/wirelessgo ) because you can set up your camera with a wireless LAV and a shotgun mic so when you are not facing the camera you will have good sound through the LAV but when you are interviewing someone the shotgun on the camera will pic up the voice. You can also have 2 wireless LAV’s recording to your camera with the use of the twin hot shoe adapter which will be better in a noisy environment etc... Remember the iPhone 12 has a fantastic video camera and combining it with a DJI gimbal and a rode video mic will help with some B role. PS. On a different note your new shop looks great, I believe you are going to put up some new racking and you asked for some design suggestions? I would put some concealed multicoloured LED strip lighting under each shelf so if you turn down the rooms main lighting you will see a wall of highlighted timber plank edges and burl faces. I am not sure which will look best orange or a gunmetal grey racking system, the grey would fade into the background making the timber more prominent?

I LOVE the guitar studio. More on that!!!!
Will do!
Loving the new video/ sound quality! I was surprised by the guitar studio, it's a great idea! Those students are extremely lucky to be tutored by Brad!
Yeah we don't end up showing it off enough but if people want more guitar content in the future we'll do it!
Sound quality is great! Reckon you'll figure out what works best for different scenarios and what sort of levels you should be running but happy to see you guys investing into these videos!
Thanks Jacob! Yes we will figure that all out!
Well done Dylan and crew! You have awesome toys! Blessings.
Thank you!!
The sound is SOOOO much better. I'm sure its a challenging process to get good sound in a woodshop!
Haha yes, it's not easy for sure!
We're going to the camera store
11:22 the bag: "the camera store" haha well look at that
The guitar studio is great! If you guys were in Australia i would totaly get my mum and i lessons for her birthday.
Loved to see the guitar studio. And you, my boy, have such natural camera charisma, it's ridiculous.
That's so kind of you to say! Thank you!
thank you so much for spending the cash to get better audio and video quality!!!!!
Thanks for appreciating it 😄😄

It's an awesome machine!
Very cool!!! It's so important to pass down knowledge.
It is really exciting for me to witness the change of your company!
Can not wait to see more of our beloved wood and Joe's funny faces in 4k :D
Keep it up boys!
greetings from Germany :)
Haha thank you!! It's very exciting for us too! Thanks for watching and keeping up with us 😄😄

Beautiful wood you received. What a potential! You guys must be just as excited when you receive that kind of wood.
Thank you!!
Yes, we're super excited!
@@BlackForestWoodCo
I can certainly understand that!
That is beautiful wood.
And you guys produce beautiful work, and should be recognized as you certainly has been - not least on this media.
The AV is a huge step up. 👍 And much, much more on the guitar studio please, you sneaky sneaks! 😀😎🥃🎸
Can’t wait to live vicariously though your trip!
Great to see the guitar shop, couldn't believe it, you guys have all these hidden talents! I'm always so impressed by your knowledge & passion for what you do & how you're always looking for ways to improve & upgrade.
Sound quality was greatly improved 👍😃
Wow thanks so much Michaella!! 😄😄😄
Guitar studio, cool. New camera and mic's. MUCH improved!!
I LOVE THE UPGRADES!!! First thing I noticed when you started talking was the new mic
Thank you!!!! 😄
Great video!!! Sound and picture quality are outstanding. Enjoyed seeing the new shipment of wood. Looking forward to watching future pours. Had no idea Black Forest had a guitar making school. Keep up the good work.
Thanks John! Yeah, we need to show off the guitar studio more haha!
Looking forward to the upgraded production value; Good luck with the upcoming milling!
Us too!!
The wood is gorgeous ,the sound quality is awesome, cherrs from France
Thank you!! 😄😄
Very happy to see the guitar studio. You guys do so much more than epoxy pouring, and I really like it when you show different things. Noticed the up in picture quality as soon as you started using it. That burl is such gorgeous wood- will you be selling smaller parts of it?
Yes, we do a lot of different things haha! Thanks Scott!
New mike works great! All the things you guys do there is amazing. No idea that Brad also builds guitar’s.
Thanks Richard! And yeah, Brad builds basically anything he can!
Please show more guitars! My grandfather who passed away before I was born was a guitar maker and I keep dreaming of making guitars
Will do!!!
Great investments! Wood, and electronics! And I had no idea about guitar making!! Cool! I’m excited, can you tell!!!
Thanks Jeffrey, we're excited too!!
MORE GUITARS!! NICE new setup with the camera gear!!!
Thank you!!
Massive improvement with the new gear. Love that buckeye Burl, can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Us either!
Great Video.
More Brad & Brad builds
Sound and video is much better. 👍 Would like to see the finished guitars. Very cool!
Thanks! We will show more of the guitars!
The upgrade has made an amazing difference
Thank you Sandra!! Glad it's a noticeable difference !!
Great camera and new mics! The lav mic sounded great! ALSO, would LOVE to see more Guitar Studio vids!!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Scott! We'll show more of the guitars in the future!

We'll have to show it more in the future!
Can't wait to see u guys do magic with the new stock.

Thanks Rory!!
Great content today!!! Love the fact that y’all make guitars!!
Thank you!!!
Sound quality of the Rodes was good even in high noise areas. Upgrades were necessary. Good job. The lutherie school was interesting. I hope everything goes well for you.
Thank you!!!
Whoa whoa whoa... Queen Charlotte Island?? It's Haida Gwaii now lol
These are awesome and I love the channel! But just a heads up to call 'Queen Charlotte Islands' Haida Gwaii, officially renamed some years ago.
Thank you for the info, will do from now on! :)
Such a better quality video know, I say the on person mic is the best but both are better then what you had. 👍✊
Thanks Graysen!
Great upgrades will make this channel that much better eh!
Hopefully! Haha!
The luthier studio is so interesting!
I just got wood looking at your wood.
🤣🤣
Would love to see more about guitar building!
Heyyyyy I live on the queen Charlotte islands (now haida gwaii) I've been watching the videos for a while now, cool we got a lil shout out
I would love to see a video of how you set up the big CNC to flatten slabs before and after the pours!
Okay, we'll show that in the near future!
Based on your positive comments and great relationship with GL I purchased a 4 x 8 sheet from them that was supposed to be quarter sawn red oak. What I received looked more like plain sawn and had no similarity to quarter sawn veneer on furniture I own. I attempted when ordering to communicate what I was hoping to receive with two people at GL who were demonstrably disinterested in my attempts to communicate. My failure was not insisting on a photo of the sheet beforehand and being an extremely small purchaser.
Those Buckeye burl............ouf, gonna be awesome!
I know!!! Super excited to work with them!
Love to hear one of you guitars.
Love these vids. Inspirational
Thanks Eric!
There are some good brad quotes riddled within this video
There's good Brad quotes every time he opens his mouth hahaha
would love to see the progression of the guitars
Dam i wish i worked with you guys, your buisness is inspiring. Thanks for the great Content
AV = huge improvement!
Thank you 😄😄
Props on the video equipment upgrade, sounds and looks great. Also, Guitars, Awesome. The ones shown were all acoustic. Do you guys do electric guitars too? Would be interesting to see some small ones made with a small burl and epoxy.
Right now we only build acoustic, but maybe we'll do electric in the future. And thank you!
Quality and sound 1000% different. Also I usually wear Sony 1000XM3’s and it’s super clear now.
What the hell - what's with the snow! Look forward to better quality - the content is always great. Cheers from the east coast (NS)
We live in Canada haha. Thanks Alan!
Would love to see the guitar building in action!
We'll do that in the future!
How is the shaper origin? I am very tempted to go out and get it but am very leery it could be practical in my shop. Since your my local wood store thought id ask, oh yeah I moved closer to you guys now lol

Nice works great. Would mind see Little more guitar building .
I don't know, the old camera and mike made it all feel homegrown, but the new stuff does sound and look better.
Guitar from beginning to end.
I would like to see more own the guitar shop. Some fabrication and here some sounds of the guitars.
Will do!
Do y’all make your own pigment for coloring the epoxy? What’s the base for the pigment, mica??
Not yet, but we will in the future. But yes, it's mica powder!
You're supposed to unplug the spindle and take it off the Origin when changing the bits. (safety)
Cool, Guitar building
Check out Matthew Cremona he has some Great wood that he sells as well he mill's alot of slabs
More on the guitar studio. I cannot play but want to make one.
We will show more!! If you're in Calgary you should take our class!
9000lbs of wood: lumber-gasm!

Agreed!!
Kids in a candy store time!
Yes haha
Good investment with the new equipment! Now don't you turn your back on us!
Dylan could you please talk about when you use c channels in an upcoming video? I've noticed you sometimes use them.
Yes we'll talk about them the next time we have a table with c channels
Can you show the lathe shop next. Are you selling the shaper origin now?
Yes we are, it's linked in the bio of this video 👍
Ask the students if we can get shots of the finished guitars, show off all that hard work. peace
We'll get some shots of the finished guitars, and maybe some more of the process too! Thanks Lisa!
much better quality from both the mics and camera! you probably won't have to yell so much now ;)
Yes hahaha

Hey, can I get the contact info of your wood friend in Vernon, I'm in Kelowna and could use a bigger selection to look at!
Liked the guitar studio, but missed hearing Jo's comments with the new mic.
Haha don't worry we'll make sure Jo will be heard in the future!
Your sound quality was good, but upgrade can't hurt.
Yes true!
The new camera equipment is good, but, the videos were fine beforehand, just people being picky, 👍
Haha thank you!
