I'm going to say this, not to brag, but to illustrate how amazingly impressive your craftsmanship is. I have made a few electric guitars from scratch, right down to winding my own pickups, routing the cavities by hand, etc. But what i witnessed here is true artistry that few can ever come close to matching. Even comprehending how precise you have to be in every step is a task all by itself. I tip my hat to you sir!

you need a good pair of surgical loupes that give you a proper working distance to save your neck and back in the future. Money well spent over the stupid off the shelf magnifiers.

Really enjoyed the video, as an amateur maker and repairer I enjoy watching how professionals make repairs. I also appreciated that you sped up the video for the non essential stuff and slowed it down when it mattered. Would never have thought to use willow at the neck root. Thanks for sharing your Skills and Knowledge.

So far ive had four back surgeries. After the first surgery the screw broke. Went in again and had it replaced. Then the same screw started coming out of my spine. So had that one replaced with a bigger screw. That caused so much pain that they put an electronic thing in my back that doesnt work. So now i have to go back first to have the electronic thing removed then the surgeon is going to remove the rods and screws. God im starting to feel likes its a never ending story.

I do "feel" you. I'm still putting off two major back surgeries and four hand surgeries. Life itself can seem like a never ending story, yet that means that we're still alive and we can appreciate so many other things at the same time! Even if it comes with pain, I'll take it. :)

Hello Kevin, what color/dye do you recommend to blend in with the glue for repairs and also when can we expect a full bow rehair tutorial? Any way I could donate for the content you provide? Thank you for everything.
@kevinleeluthier24 күн бұрын
2 droppers of Beige 3/4 droppers of Gray of Dr. PH Martin's Synchromatic Transpartent = it's all listed in my video about glue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnbNooytjKaMldk Re-hairing a bow is still on my HUGE list of videos to make. There's so much more to doing it properly than meets the eye, and I want to do it right.

You definitely have some serious Luthier chops I would say. Of course that is obvious from the instruments that you have made before, but repair is a slightly different discipline, isn't it? I think it can be harder to undo mistakes that had been made on an older instrument that was repaired "cheaply".

I thought maple was used for violin necks? I do not begrudge willow, as I know Stradivari used it in liners and blocks of his instruments. I applaud your masterful repair of your clients violin. My dad was a sailboat and drift boat builder, so I appreciate fine carpentry. Your work is brilliant! Thank you!😅
@kevinleeluthier26 күн бұрын
Yes, maple is used to make the necks themselves. Willow is just used for the blocks, or to replace parts of the blocks. In this case the mortise of the block. My father loved to make boats also! :)

@@jdsimons3222 When properly chosen and aged, willow is extremely stable, quite tough and has no distinct grains. Which means that It carves wonderfully and then holds the neck evenly on all the surfaces, and all parts of those surfaces from all directions. On top of that, Hans Weisshaar (one of the greatest repair men of all time) told me to use it :) Thanks for watching!
