I've never seen a guitar building tutorial actually detail the differences in the properties of glue like this. Such valuable information you're giving us!

[@timothycypriot8182]

I am not planning to build a guitar anytime soon but I find these videos very entertaining.

[@abdumushuk2219]

Thanks for these great videos! And it's really special to have a master luthier doing such detailed intro-level materials for our benefit. Please keep these videos coming!

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks! It will be for at least this build, but we will see after that!

[@CMRWoodworks]

Very interesting! You may have talked me into wanting to try hide glue.

[@MarshallBrune]

Go for it!

[@shaynebarrett3039]

Something about you just screams legend.
Keep up the good work mate!

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks!

[@RoneiRamos]

Since I started working with animal glue, I've fallen in love with the process of applying it to and also knowing that if anything goes wrong, I can undo the glue.

[@JohnWilsonPA]

Guitars and Caffeine - I have the same mug. Also, I'm enjoying the videos. Thank you.

[@clipz7608]

One day I wish to go to your shop and finally buy one of your guitars! If possible go and see your workshop!

[@MarshallBrune]

You are welcome anytime! I will gladly show you around!

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

I like your videos a lot. Wish I was closer to your shop.

[@paulrobertson2099]

Long may these videos continue, they are wonderful!

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks!

[@evantaucher]

Awesome video, Marshall! Love the intro too

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks Evan!

[@OttawaGuitarTrio]

That was a very quick 12 minutes for a video solely about glue! Very informative, but I have to ask: does that mean that hide glue is technically safe to ingest???

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks! It is safe to ingest. The highly refined form is Jell-O, so yes, safe to eat, not super tasty.

Great video! I learned a lot about was in glue and how to make it. Keep up the great videos

[@MalachiAsgharian]

Keep doing what you are doing!

[@SteamDriven]

Fascinating, great video and presentation style 👍 I remember my dad using "animal" glue to do home DIY back in the '60s but never really thought it was still used or even how it was made.

[@MrHeliosoul]

Great video! Thanks for sharing brother!

[@BigCleverName]

Great video Marshall but what do you think about titebond hide glue?

[@simpreaper19]

Love the video, just wondering where I can get the ingredients cause I can’t seem to find it

[@radu2703]

Very interesting video! It looks like you have a lute on the table in the background. What other instruments have you made, apart from classical guitars?

[@MarshallBrune]

I am a trained violin maker, so I have made a bunch of violins and cellos, and I have made one mandolin.

[@Solarplexus0]

I find these videos fascinating. Thank you for sharing these awesome pieces! Curious your thoughts on True Temperament fretboards?

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks! I think they are interesting, but they are limiting in the music and keys you can play.

[@shayes.x]

I'm really enjoying this series! When you are repairing an instrument, is there a way to tell what strength hide glue was used? And would you generally try to match that strength upon reassembly?

[@MarshallBrune]

Thanks! I make assumptions based off of the appearance of the glue and time period. I usually use 315 when doing repairs just because of its ability to pull an open seam.

[@lush462]

You can use hide glue for the whole guitar assembling?

[@CityBlades]

So... in said Rob Scallon video, it SEEMED like you just keep a fresh pot of this going all day, lol. What's your actual... work flow with it? Like... say you make some, and then it's good for X amount of time, and then when that time has passed if you have some left, what do you do with it?

[@ViluMasi]

Any favorite brands? Milligan & Higgins? Tanex?

[@donstelfox2936]

Great explanation, Thank you. Cheers

[@jurgengartemann5508]

Please tell us how you are able to glue in the linings, bindings, purflings and the top and back with hide glue without making the open time longer? I do this by adding acetic acid 40 % , a very old recipe that makes the glue joint 20 % stronger. With the amount of acetic acid I can play with the open time from 5 minutes up to half an hour .

[@diowk]

How do toy feel about titebond hide glue though?

[@georgelloydgonzalez]

We love glue

[@JanakPanchal-k2k]

Can you tell name of glue?

[@VinodJadavani]

Good ok

[@jackottaway92]

I had no idea there was so much to glue haha

[@sempakrangergg]

Bone glue

[@NatePlays9]

only professional luthiers use a $3 pack of 25 brushes

[@CMRWoodworks]

Very interesting! You may have talked me into wanting to try hide glue.
