I really admire your handwork and your explanations. Just discovered this channel. Congrats Wes
Great training video!! Nice work! And...you are a artist!
I’ve been repairing horns for about 9 years myself, I really liked your explanation of using the “light lines”. As long as the horn is lacquered or silver plated I try to get reflections as straight as possible (if that makes sense). I’ve got votaw hammers myself so technique is a little different but this video is still valuable. Now I’m itching for some dent work to hit my bench soon. I may have to just get some stuff out of the junk pile to mess with.
People who do PDR (paintless dent removal) on cars use a special lined light box for this same purpose.
Well explained as always!
Thanks Wes for the great video!
Great tutorial Wes. Although I'm in a different industry we share many common restoration situations. I have learned several valuable lessons from you. I have also discovered some resources as well. I am investing in a set of the hammers you displayed in this video. Many of the parts I restore are pure unobtainium. Useful tools like these are extremely helpful to accomplish parts restoration. I have invested many hours modifying or developing necessary tools through the decades. These hammers will be a great addition to the arsenal.
A heartfelt thanks for your continued investment of time to help and educate. We are always learning. Sometimes learning from unusual sources. Be good. Have a Deluxe day!
Thank you for your videos Mr. Lee, they are very interesting and educational. Could you enable the subtitles option in Spanish, since I don't speak your language and I don't understand a lot of important information. I hope that this request does not represent an inconvenience for you. From Buenos Aires Argentina I send you an affectionate greeting
What an artist!
I really enjoyed discovering your channel ! The balance between your great teaching of instrument repair skill and the almost ASMR visual experience of watching instruments get repaired make a very entertaining mix. The camera work is nice but I thini the audio could use a bit of improvement so we can hear you at a more constant volume throughout the video, maybe a small wearable mic ?
Keep doing a good job ☺️
Thank you so much. I am learning much, watching you. Have burnished some dents out. but this is a clear indication that I need to buy some hammers, bar stock, bearings, and trashed horns, or talk to an artist who has the equipment! I have a 1901? functioning, Parisian Mellophone, bell curves down... Love the sound, but know it could be better. Badly dented all along the back of the bell, well past where it is brazed onto the valve assembly, and one is cracked through (needs a patch?).
A key consideration here is that the "hammer" faces are to be kept polished. Any dent or imperfection in the face will be transferred to the brass.
Looks like I have a whole lot of practicing to do in the future. Did you just find lots of instruments that were in really sorry shape as you were developing your skills? Since I'm one of those people who cringe at the thought that anyone would throw away an brass item just to have something that looks perfect, I've gathered a few older pieces to return to service. Thanks so much for the near views while using the hammers. It helped see what was taking place.
Can you overwork the metal until it fatigues?
Mega geiles Handwerk. du hast meine volle Bewunderung
🔥🔥🔥
Do the hammers dimple the brass? (I could see the resulting finish being a little less smooth than "new," which is of course way less bad than "crushed"!)
👍👏🏻
@wesleemusicrepair9820 Do you know anyone with a high-speed camera? (I think if you could demonstrate your dentwork with a high-framerate slowdown, you'd be able to share your techniques more efficiently!)
🙃👍👏🏻
Thanks for the great videos! I'm curious about the blue vise stand at 17:33. Do you have it bolted to the cement or did you make a wooden plinth for it? I'm interested in getting a stand like this, but I worry that I'll ruin my garage floor.
Hello Do you play an instrument as well?
Yes. Son of a trumpet player so started there. Switched to trombone in middle school. By the time I graduated tech school I played all brass and woodwind and a a little double reed. Worked on that to get it to where I feel I need to be. Also play string instruments. I don’t play piano nearly as well as once did though.
@@wesleemusicrepair9820 than you for taking time to reply. I appreciate you and your UA-cam channel!
