Thank you for sharing … while soaking up a stunningly done video … it is abundantly clear I’m watching a master craftsman at work … where everything is pure artistry !! 🙏
It's so relaxing to watch this video👍 Btw, I often see a luthier build a classical guitar from two pieces of wood glued together for the soundboard and the back. Is it possible to make the soundboard from one single piece of wood?
Thank you for sharing this! You must have had the vision of that beautiful guitar in mind from the start. I can really appreciate the thoughtful and painstaking process it involves.
What a superbly informative video. Thanks a lot. As well as the great expertise required, the tool collection is amazing. Any crazy thoughts I ever entertain on attempting something similar, are securely put on the (far) back burner.
Como disfruto ver este tipo de videos, observar cuan detallado y minucioso es construir una guitarra, verdaderamente un arte construirlas, cuanta paciencia y dedicación, felicidades por su labor de laudería maestro!!!
Thank you for amazing video! I am a beginner/intermediate guitarist and it is immensely interesting to see full process and understanding how the instrument is made. All the time during watching I was imagining all the things that could go wrong - miss one milimeter here, be too hasty and glue is not hardened enough, forget to add that piece, do not center the saddle properly pushing it by one nanometer to the side ... just one of the million things is enough for whole guitar becoming unplayable at the end omg. Glad that everything went well and the guitar looks amazing :)
The tool list shows a Caliastro Plane with a screw cap instead of a lever cap. That works much better but is not shown in the video . Any lever cap can be changed to a screw cap very easily . When you saw bone it has a very characteristic stink . Then you know it`s the real thing . The video is a Blessing .
He showed it being scored/deep scratch cut at the target depth and thickness of the binding. You could use a small hand held square and exacto knife, then chisel and micro rasp, or files, etc., to sand away and clean up the channel. You could even do stepped binding in multiple passes. And as we say in the U.S., This ain't his first Rodeo! Excellent workmanship, and equally professionally edited/presented, cause in reality, Building any Stringed Instrument can be a brutal and very high-stress endeavor. Marc Somewhere in Alabama...
Sem palavras para mensurar quão belo é essa guitarra feita com detalhes nunca visto antes. Quisera eu ter uma guitarra dessas feita por esse grande artista algum dia. Meus parabéns maestro!!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Greetings from Lebanon! The instrument turned out to be a beautiful piece of art! I enjoyed watching every detail of the making How long did it take you to make it, and where did you make it - if I may ask? Thank you for sharing :)
Hi, we're DUMC, a church in Malaysia. We are inspired by the visuals and production of your video there (great work indeed!) and was wondering if we can have the permission to use parts of it for an upcoming Easter promo? It ties in very nicely with our theme for this year and will benefit us greatly.
So the time , work, materials have to be recovered if the guitar is to be sold. And how many can afford it and play well enough to buy a handmade classical versus buy a good factory one?
Wonderful video: a couple of questions - 1) did you build your own solera, or - it looks like maybe you used a flat board and wedged around the lower edges to create the right neck angle and curvature on the top; and 2) the book you listed doesn't show any longer on the Amazon link, what is the title and author? Thanks much. Looking forward to hearing from you - if you're still monitoring this video's comments.
Yes, I made my own solera, it is flat board wedged around the lower edges for curvature on the top. There is detailed instructions in the book: Making Master Guitars - Roy Courtnall. Thanks for watching!
@@spartanguitarist6579 from what I’ve gathered(take with a grain of salt cause I don’t have scripture memorized) but we would be given jobs in heaven and what I would give to learn how to make instruments for Gods children in heaven. Wow what an honor and Jesus being the master craftsmen he is I bet we could learn so much to make only the very best!!! Much love
@@burkerow the powder was used to fill pores in the wood prior to applying the shellac. It is the biggest part of getting that nice smooth even surface in the finish.
