    I've not seen carbon fiber added before, very interesting addition. Bass making is a bit like furniture making! Lovely to see your Supervisor watching your work @9:06 hehe

    Considering that's maple you're carving, you've got some seriously sharp knives.

      I feel like I spend one month every year, at the sharpening stones. That's 1 year of sharpening, every 12 years.... Part of the job I suppose.

    Ben, hilarious that I'm today involved in the same process. The only difference is that at my advanced age, I'm fortunate to have a 12" jointer machine for squaring things up. Keep up the fine work!

  • @lukehaddix4710
    @lukehaddix4710 6 місяців тому

    I've been struck with an idea to build an electric upright bass. I'm trying to replicate the Yamaha SLB300 somewhat. I surched the internet for dimensions or some kind of diagram with measurements. All I can find is the spices for the finger board. I'm using that to scale out the rest of it by inches to feet using pictures on my phone. It's hard work. So far I've managed to make a finger board and the neck. Of course I'm trying to save money by doing this so, that's the whole reason. But I know I can. I just need dimensions. I'm going today to get a big piece of maple to make the real neck. Thanks for your videos. I love the art of hand carving.

    I always wondered how and why the scroll shape end up being synonimous to the violin instrument familly ( i know there is some without..).
    I also also always find the shape quite arbitrary and complex.
    But when i see it being made , by a quite simple process, i understand better.
    The work is very impressive, with a 3D organic look
    edit: The tuning machines are gorgeous

    • @atelierpuglisi
      @atelierpuglisi  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks. I know it's a cliche… However I always think of the expression when I'm looking at a big block of rectangular Maple. "remove everything that doesn't look like a scroll"... And it just reveals itself.

  • @guitfidle
    @guitfidle 10 місяців тому +1

    Oh wow, how long does it take to carve the headstock? That scroll is amazing! Also, love the cat on the bench, I have a hard time keeping mine off. Two of them taking turns 😸

    Have you ever made/heard/seen a bass without the traditional scroll? I was wondering what the tone would be like without the additional mass at the end of the neck. Gene in usa

    • @atelierpuglisi
      @atelierpuglisi  10 місяців тому

      There's a number of people that have made headless instruments and even more ornate scrolls. Helps to pack it away in a case for travelling that's for sure.
      Definitely the extra mass at the top of the fingerboard helps to balance out the vibration on the neck. Instruments that I have tried, without a headstock have seemed thin in tone. However, a huge part of the optics of the violin family is the Fibonacci, scroll thats for sure.
      There is also a noticeable change when adding the C extension which needs to be the correct weight. Not too heavy, not too light...

    Wonderful video thankyou! Gorgeous florets of maple whilst defining the fluting on the turns.
    If I may ask, do you remove/mitigate the hollow grind created by the Tormek with hand stones or by adding a secondary bevel? Or is it a mix and match with each tool requiring tweaks to the grinds?

    • @atelierpuglisi
      @atelierpuglisi  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Glen. Glad you like the videos. I nearly always tried to achieve a good hollow grind, particularly with the pairing chisels and my planes. With the Japanese stones I'm just trying to get the fine edge razor sharp.
