7:22 7:23 Awsome video, so informative, reading of the scripture and a puppet to boot! I’m a new fan’
Thank you Steve! And welcome! I am so glad you liked those things. Where are you from? I hope you have a wonderful week! and thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you again in the comments!
I'm thankful I found your Channel!! Enjoyable to watch!!
Amen! I am thankful that you found it too! Thanks for commenting!!!
I appreciate that you showed how you made the tiny slivers of wood to fill the worm damage. Your channel is way beyond what I need, I was just surfing to try to see if I could address what I hope are minor repairs to a violin I got from a family member. I think it mostly has superficial scratches, but I haven’t carefully examined it. Anyway your meticulous woodworking skills are fun to watch, and your personality is cute.
Thank you Carole for watching and for commenting! I appreciate it so much. I just hope that the videos are entertaining enough. If you need any help with your violin, feel free to contact me. Hope you have a wonderful week!
@@Violinsforu2 this violin is not particularly valuable. It is part of a long story…my oldest daughter played off and on for years, and we relied on a rental instrument. My Great Uncle Walter was a violin maker, and eventually my uncle who held several of his instruments started releasing his collection as he aged. I received one, it was in very good condition. It was in our home over a three year period when hubby and I were on the opposite coast. Our adult kids and their friends rented our home, and when we returned the violin could not be found. There was/is lots of chaos with our belongings, and there is a slim chance it is in a box of our belongings they packed up. However I suspect it might have been stolen. So, an opportunity arose to obtain another violin from that branch of the family as people age and pass over. I said yes on the slim hope it might be another of Uncle Walter’s. I don’t even know what his skill level was, I just always thought it was very cool he made violins, and was very proud to be able to pass one to my daughter. Sadly it is not one of his. Theft/resale is such a frustrating behavior, the thief sells the stolen goods for pennies on the dollar, and in this case there is no financial value I could place on the violin. However I find your content very interesting, I do a little woodworking of my own, nothing as precise as yours, but there is something very soothing about sanding and shaping wood that is good for the soul.💕
What an interesting video! I really enjoyed it. Tell Freddie thanks for showing the pictures. The Hebrew minute is Habakuk 2:20 like Tim said.
So glad you enjoyed it! Freddie was thrilled with all the pictures! Thanks for the Hebrew Minute, too! Hope you have a wonderful blessed week ahead!
More worm tunnels, but at least they were not filled with putty.
You are right! I should be very thankful!!! Thanks for commenting. I enjoy your comments and have a wonderful week!
It had gotten dangerously windy here last week, too. Stuff blowing all over our yards, tree limbs down, etc. * That is pretty amazing how you produce those slivers of wood to fill the cracks & worm traces. I'd like to see how you do that in real time. And, I am interested in leaning a bit about these worms, what they look like, etc. * I will send you something on a hybrid harp model I am creating based on my late mentor, John Kovac's designs.
Hi Davy! I just found your comment now! Thanks for commenting. I am glad and thankful that we all survived the storms this year too! Take care and God bless!
My step father was Paul Smith he was at one time blue grass player, I have feudal sorry I don't spell to good I would love to have his repaired , I have his award for best blue grass player. His feudal is a stiner made in Germany at least that was what I remember what he said, don't know how much it would cost me, but I really like the care and love you put in the your videos and work.
Hi Dennis, I would love to repair your stepfather's violin. You can email me at violinsforu@gmail.com, or you can call me at 859-979-3933. If you can send pictures, I can try to give you an idea of what it might cost. Thank you for commenting and I hope you have a wonderful week!
@@Violinsforu2 The stories associated with these instruments add so much to the adventure.
It’s funny that you mentioned worms because I was meditating on a verse from Isaiah 41:14 that says “ Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” It made me realize that we are ‘worms’ and need God’s power every moment of our lives!
Amen! I love the concept of us being worms because it is so appropriate! Now to apply it to this violin, I think of us worms when we are where we ought not to be we sure can cause problems!!!! Thanks for sharing that verse and I pray you have a wonderful blessed week!
Hello Cheryl
I loved watching your painstaking work repairing the woodworm damage to the front plate of the old violin. Looking forward to you starting the purfling on the new. Wishing you every blessing for the coming week.
Ian
Thank you very much, Ian. I appreciate your kindness. May you have a blessed week also. Thank you for commenting!
I appreciate the video and the series so far. It's one of the only videos I've seen so far that show repairing worm damage. I have a beautiful mid 19th century violin with worm damage I will hopefully restore soon.
Thank you
The 'Hebrew Minute' is Habakkuk 2:20! The ancient violin must be an incredible challenge and you are fixing it with authority!!! Good job! I was really touched by the couple that reunited the baby bird with its mother - that was awesome. Tell Freddy I really enjoyed his photos. Have fun. Stupidicus.
You got it! Yes! The bird story was amazing and they said that they mother even came down to their hand to feed the bird. Teddy will be thrilled. Thank you for commenting and I hope your line shaft all works out! Have a blessed week!
Worms! Worms! Worms! What a challenge. Good work.
It sure is! I am looking forward to getting that violin back into playing condition shortly! Thank you for commenting and have wonderful week!
I AM BUNDLING SOME USED GUT STRINGS WITH NOTE PAPER WHICH HAS ABOUT.A TEASPOON OF OLIVE OIL ON IT. I FOLD THE PAPER OVER THE STRING AND CASE IT IN ALUMINUM FOIL. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS TO.AMONTH I WILL BRING THE STRING BACK OUT TO BE WIPED OF EXCESS OIL H, AND THEN REMOUNT IT ON MY VIOLI N.
That sounds like an interesting experiment! Let me know how it turns out! Thanks for commenting.
Great video Cheryl, have you ever used toothpicks for fillers? just curious. seem like a nice thin item? ECF
Thank you, Ellis! I want to use spruce to match the spruce top and toothpicks are just a little bit too hard, but great idea, maybe for a repair on the back. Thank you for commenting and hope you have a wonderful week!
Do you add some worm killer to your glue to discourage further intrusions?
I will be adding the sealer coat which seems to discourage critters from trying to live in violins!! Thanks for asking and hope you have a great week!
Do you sharpen the tools yourself? Would you show it?
Yes! I will see if I can put a little in this week. There are a couple of gouges that need to be sharpened! Thanks for commenting and hope you have a wonderful week!
Hello greetings, I have a query, what do you put on the violin to make the soul patch, I don't see the plaster countermold
And something that perhaps works for you is that if you submit the lid to an radiography you can see all the gust holes that you are seeing and that you surely have to cover
Hello, and thank you for commenting! You are correct I do not use a plaster counter mold. I have very nice violin cradles, which support the violin and then I just work to have a carefully fitted patch so there’s no need for a mold. Regarding radiography that sounds awesome. I do not have any fancy instruments like that so I have to rely on my ear, thanks for your wonderful ideas and have a wonderful week
@@Violinsforu2 Thanks to you for your videos, they really are beautiful, I am a luthier in Costa Rica, Central America, as you know in Central America there are no lutheria schools, so I study with a program for youth Iberorquestas, which is the lutheria workshop, I am currently studying with the teacher Lionel Gevovart (italy, rome) classes in san salvador.
And, what I wanted to tell you is that these videos that you make are enriching for my training as a lutheir, I like to see how other luthirr work and learn, take new ideas and try new things that I can observe
keep going with these videos they are wonderful
I would like to tell you that in my country it is difficult to get raw materials and looking for leather for bows, it is currently used by Lionel Genovart and other luthiers around the world, I don't know if you know the internationalviolin.com store, they currently sell my leather, it is wonderful . If you would like to try it, tell me and I will gladly send you as a gift to any part of the world (if my national mail office allows me) completely as a gift. as a thank you for your videos
@@frannugo I would love to try your leather. If you send some, send me the information on it, and I will share it in the videos. My email is violinsforu@gmail.com.
@@Violinsforu2 Hello, thank you very much, I will write to your email and send some photos
@@frannugo I haven't received any email yet. Did you send it?
Habakkuk 2:20
Yes!!! Thanks for finding the Hebrew Minute!
