You can tell you guys have been working close together for some time when you finish each others sentences. Thanks for the content, waiting patiently for the nest episode.
Speaking as an instrumentmaker who has repaired many a violin: kudos. Nice work and great explanations. Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott
The fact that controller overshoots is because it reaches the target temperature fast - it could be made to overshoot less or not at all, but then it’d heat up much longer. I wager inside is PID controller, and that’s how they work. The other thing is that as you noticed, it oscillates around target as it settles: this oscillation can be also made shorter (maybe, if we’re not yet at fastest settle time) but overshoot would be even higher
1889 is when my grandfather was born. He was born in the US, his parents came here from Denmark. I have a 4/4 violin, from an uncle, by marriage to my grandfather's other daughter. He was 3 years younger than my grandfather. (that went over big 🙄😣🤬) The violin was given to him, as a child. I suspect he was 9 or 10, because it is a 4/4. It has no maker's name but was made in Germany. I believe it was new, when he got it, which, I figure, means it was made between 1899 and 1901.
I got pretty anxious about that scalpel blade bending left and right, that a break could result in a pretty nasty cut. Don't even wanna think about a piece of it flying off.
That might be do-able, for 1 blade, but after the blade dulls or breaks, it would be a pain in the bee-hind, to have to do it again and again and again.
@@zapa1pnt I take your point but heating a blade against a hot iron will cool off too quickly. Perhaps some consideration could be made for adapting a soldering iron to take these blades. As far as I am aware the tip on a soldering iron either screws in or is just held in place with a screw. That being the case a scalpel handle could be cut down and and turned to fit, then all you would have to do is, when the blade needs changing, just pull it out with a pair of pliers and fit a new one. The only other consideration could be, would the blade loose its temper due to the heat?
@@davidhawkes1328 ....bought a 25 watt wood burning pen on Analzon for a delicate wood joint clean-out...has treaded end for different holders (one being regular size #11 x-acto blade) but, you can't jam in there & all around about like Jerry was doing. A #11 scalpel fit fine too... ( after i broke my last x-acto blade and couldn't find my spares ). Cheers
Sounds really great... but there is more to it. Overhead, 40 years of scratching to make ends meet, before I finally got enough of a following to up my prices. by the time I pay all the expenses involved in a business like this, it is not nearly as profitable as it sounds.
Did you watch the entire video? I thought so at first, but stuck around and see that the first part was posted in another video. It's in this one as an intro of sorts.
