You're getting there, Olaf. By the end of the year, I think we will be seeing a silver play button. Congrats, man.

i’m not even a musician but i love watching your vids! your passion is admirable

@renarenae9900 12 дней назад

I watch your videos when I drink my morning coffee, and it's truly my favorite part of the day. The love you bring to your work is so inspiring and I'm incredibly grateful you're willing to share your artful expertise!

This is truly one of the most elaborated and genuine way of making coffee. It really fits a luthier and has to be prepared in the workshop of course, like every potion in a magician‘s or witcher‘s kitchen. A bit of creme, sugar, skin glue… 😅 loving the creative use of the hand blender too, it almost looks like a wand. You are an interesting and amazing man with a great profession! Thank you, Olaf! ♥️👍

It's so strange. I'm watching this video while waiting for some work to finish, trying to sort out what all I need to do today. And, then you mention taking advantage of the nice day with a walk. "Oh, yeah," I thought. "I ought to do that." It's a nice day and I got so caught up with all the cogs of productivity that I nearly forgot about it. So, thank you for that.

@littletweeter1327 12 дней назад

Super excited to see your current project completed. And excited to see your next project with that new timber!

4:29/4:30 - 21 degrees Celsius. Yes, I certainly felt it with my early-onset arthritis! I remember being a child... perhaps 10 or 11 years old... and when I went over to Canada for a 6-month-period for Dad's work: in my first week I was wearing a shirt, and a long-sleeved over-shirt, then a woollen jumper, and then a large leather jacket over the top of all that... and then when I looked over at my neighbours, they were happily watering their front lawn with a hose wearing just a linen vest!!! My goodness, we're all different!

@liamnevilleviolist1809 11 дней назад

On the other side of the world - my friends in the Middle East are battling 55 - 59 degrees CELSIUS in the summer. On average.

@Frooderick 12 дней назад

Always enjoy your work. Watching from Austin, here. 21° is shorts and t-shirt weather. I don’t even consider long sleeves until it’s 15°. I believe our summer temps are a lot like yours. High today is about 37° without the heat index, and summer only just started. It’ll easily get to 43° mid-August.

You keep teasing us when you're doing a quick test play of the violins with strains of Waltzing Matilda, but then just veering away from it. Lovely work as always, Olaf.

Thank you much I can't wait for the practice video I could use some help on different ways to practice

@303Yosh 5 дней назад

I always learn something about my violin when I watch your videos - keep 'em coming, please! I also love when we get to hear your original instruments. A video of you playing each of them would be awesome. I've got my eye on them for a future purchase, but I'm half a world away and can't come compare them 🙂

@TheUncleRuckus 12 дней назад

Awe man I wish our winters were in the 70s that's shorts and tee shirt weather lol I'm in Western New York and it routinely gets into the negatives digits during winter plus we get however many feet of lake effect snow.

@warwickdarlow7017 12 дней назад

Am looking forward to my appointment with you on 15th August to see if upgrading my violin helps improve my playing and enjoyment of my music. Have been following your channel for some time and find it fascinating.

@zapa1pnt 2 дня назад

Olaf, thank you for your videos. I find you both informative And entertaining. Although I am no one of consequence in the matter, it is easy to recognize the excellent level of your work. I have a good sound setup, on my computer but was amazed, even I could hear the difference, when you adjusted the sound post @13:04. The first notes sounded a bit scratchy but did not seem extreme. However, after the adjustment, the difference Was extreme. So, beautifully, smooth. Good fortune, to you, Olaf. 😁✌🖖

@zapa1pnt 2 дня назад

You are much like me, you can't say "Good morning", until you get that first sip of coffee. 😁✌🖖

@edmiller4149 11 дней назад

Thanks for sharing, Olaf. Do you think that violins not made in Italy get enough appreciation? You seem to work on quite a few old German violins. Are they as good as old Italian ones?

@arnhemseptember2009 11 дней назад

I think Stradivarius used high quality carriage varnish. Strong and glossy.

@zapa1pnt 2 дня назад

Olaf, does the changing of the string height change the, lengthwise, position of the notes on the fingerboard? e.g. "The higher the string, the closer the note is to the nut." Thank you. 😁✌🖖

@liamnevilleviolist1809 11 дней назад

4:49 - Hi Olaf, just wondering - are these your own violins that you're working on? Made elsewhere, but you you're doing some minor adjustments on them? Thanks, Liam, WA.

@donfostermusician3690 12 дней назад

would you lower the nut on a dobro or lap steel guitar? asking for a friend...

@amandas.6500 12 дней назад

Olaf, if you see this, I have a question maybe you could address in your video about practice. I aim for 30 minutes to an hour daily. If my practice is not going well, memory slips, bad intonation, should I stop? Or is it better to push through? Thanks!

@christopherw4527 12 дней назад

You put butter in your coffee?

@KonradTheWizzard 12 дней назад

It's so called "bulletproof coffee". Makes it taste a bit smoother and gives it lots of energy. That's good if you have a very strenuous day ahead or need an energy kick to wake up, not very healthy if you plan to just sit and watch RU-vid (it'll go straight onto your hips). There are quite a few interesting recipes you can do with coffee - I myself like to add honey instead of sugar and on rare occasions I go crazy and use spices (like cinnamon, cardamom, or anise).

I saw that butter and I thought "Yuck!" - no thanks! And Max, for 50 years we have opened up a can of condensed milk when we ran out of regular milk for our coffee - but have never heard it called "Vietnamese". LOL

@christopherw4527 11 дней назад

@@Arnd2it We have done the same with condensed milk. Not anymore though. Too expensive. Vietnamese coffee is really bitter. I think they use Robusto beans.
