I wonder if it's possible to get a more transparent colour. It looks excessively solid.
@SculptyWorks 14 сағат бұрын
Yes-ish. 😉 I started with a transparent varnish, but pink is a very delicate color that easily turns into purple or red or lilac and a multitude of other shades depending on the light, and that is amplified by the color and chatoyance of the wood below, so I intentionally made it translucent so I could control it and make sure it stayed 'pink' under most lighting conditions. Modern chemistry can give us pretty much any color of transparent varnish we want on guitars, but I didn't find anything I could use in a traditional violin varnish recipe.

A lot of work, but well worth the effort, judging by the final results. It is easy to see why custom colors are a rare thing. Are there means to 'dress up' the instrument in other ways that wouldn't compromise its sound and function?
@SculptyWorks 19 сағат бұрын
Modern chemistry allows for pretty much any color without compromising sound with some clunky varnish, but violinists (and classical musicians) tend to be extremely traditional in their choices. 😉 The most common way to 'dress up' your violin is with a fancy tailpiece and/or pegs, of some fancy rare wood or intricate carving, but you don't find many 'serious' violinists who stray too far from tradition.

@SculptyWorks wow that's impressive. I don't know anything about woodwork, but I am interested in conducting. What is the thickness/diameter of the handle? And is the tip about the thickness of a standard pencil? Thank you so much for answering!!! Really needed it because there are no online delivery services in our country, and no conductors or batons.
@SculptyWorks 3 күн бұрын
@@symphonyofsolidarity What country is that? And batons tend to be personalized, every conductor has their preference. You could say the stick is about as thick as a pencil but it tapers towards the tip. The handle is the thickest part but it's pear-shaped so it narrows to just about the thickness of a pencil and then it flares out a bit to create a flange type of separation between the handle and the stick. If you have no alternative, a straight long stick will work just fine to conduct. Ideally you want it to be white, so it is contrasting and easier for the musicians to see. The handle just makes it less likely that it will slip off your hand, and is also more comfortable to hold, but like I said, if you have to, a plain ol' stick will do. 👍

Well... I got it back together and it's looking pretty good! The neck was pretty warped ... I think most Luthiers would have replaced the neck all together but that wasn't an option with my limited skills so I planed the neck free from the bow and warping, levelled the board, cleaned as much mystery glue off there as I could and glued it back on there with hide glue, well ... Titebond cold hide glue but still hide glue. kzbin.infopaXGkQYtTfo Still needs a sound post but I don't know how to make and position that correctly and I know if that's wrong I could crack the top so I'm having it done by a pro. Then some varnish repairs and a polish and this thing should be good to go. How do you guys deal with these tiny fragile things? They're so small ... Clamping it was a nightmare, planing the neck took forever and just the sweat from my hands was enough to damage the varnish... after this thing is done I think I'll stick to guitars, much easier to work with. Found a whole new appreciation for the word Luthier I can tell you that, you guys are amazing just for having the patience and diligence of having to work so carefully for so long with such small and fragile pieces! I'd like to thank you for the advice you've given me and for making these very educational videos, Best wishes, Frans

Hide glue is so easy to remove, too bad it's a hassle to work with when it comes to setting time but in terms of holding and loosening up it's the easiest to work with, you have to be fast tho ... Food gelatine works too but you'd have to be even faster as that has an even shorter setting time. I have a 1900's German trade violin on the bench right now and someone repaired it with the wrong type of glue that doesn't want to break... that person should be skinned and rolled trough brine or salt for ruining my day. The fingerboard detached somewhere in the last 100 years of its life and they glued it back on leaving all sorts of glue residue on the back of the neck and sides of the fingerboard that I can't remove, I've tried wiping it off with scorching hot steamed cloth, I've tried Naphtha on a paper towel ... nothing ... not even the thin parts are coming off, don't know what they used but it certainly wasn't hide, bone or fish glue. It's not Titebond or Elmers either, I hear horrible things about that glue in terms of violin making and causing tear out but you can remove that from any guitar with cloth, heat and steam pretty easily so I don't think that's what they used either because that would have come off with the steamed cloth or Naphtha. Very tough stuff they used... Those few glue marks wouldn't be such a disaster if they glued the fingerboard back on straight but it's lopsided too and so much so that the E string has next to no room on the fingerboard so it has to come off... also when they glued the fingerboard back on they didn't plane the neck flat before they did so there's space between the neck and board. I'm not looking forwards to taking the fingerboard off the neck but I have no choice or else it won't play right and would just look silly. I'm thinking about heating up a thin putty knife in a pan of boiling water, wipe it dry and work that in between the neck and board to soften the glue up and break it... hope it works, this is how we take guitar fingerboards off so I don't see why this wouldn't work on a violin. I'm a guitar repair tech and normally only work on guitars, bass guitars and drums, generally I find violins to be intimidating to work on due to their fragility and age but this was a 70$ acquisition and a type of violin there are literally still millions of today so why not try. Just a little apprehensive about potentially wrecking an instrument that survived two world wars P.s. sorry for the long winded rant... if you have any tips for a hobby Luthier/Repair tech I would greatly appreciate that.

I run into "mystery glue" on instruments all the time. I feel your pain! If the fingerboard has to come off, and there's no room to just re-shape it, and the glue won't give up, and your customer is willing to fork out the cost, I would say carve out the fingerboard and install a new one. Some glues simply won't let go and you risk warping the neck with too much heat/moisture! 🥹
@FraJa1980 17 күн бұрын
@@SculptyWorks Strange i replied to this earlier but I don't see it .... I was afraid that ship had sailed when they glued it back on the first time it broke, one side had a huge gap in the middle and the other side only a little gap so I thought it was already warped slightly but it turned out less severe than I thought... Maybe they clamped it wrong making it look worse than it is, the board is off now and the neck appears to be less bowed than when it had the FB glued on it.. I ended up using a candle to heat the knife instead of boiling water because this mystery glue was extremely elastic and took way longer to loosen the bond so the heat dissipated off the blade too fast when I heated it with water. It went... hold it over the candle, pry it in.. wiggle, & repeat... a lot. The mystery glue looked like chewing gum on my blade and stuck right back to the board and neck after it cooled down so that was fun... took 40 minutes just to pry it off and I burned myself on that damn candle twice but I got it done with little to no tear out on either side ... After I got it off the "bow" or warp in the neck looked minimal, I do suspect I'll have to do a little planing to get it flat but it doesn't look to be very much on the straight edge of my machinist ruler so here's hoping I can flatten it out without taking off too much and having to adjust the neck angle! Fb looked salvageable tho, tiny piece of tear out but that's it ... should go back on without too much hassle. I did a couple of shorts on it on my channel to document my progress in case you'd like to see how it was and where it is now. Anyway thanks for the advice, I'm glad I didn't have to carve the fb off and replace it but I still appreciate the tip!

@@FraJa1980 KZbin comments are awful. Every week I check them on the Studio thing and see there's dozens of comments KZbin never notified me about. Very frustrating when you actually like responding to comments like I do! 😜 Glad the fingerboard came out without you needing to carve it out! If the neck has just the slightest bit of a bow or warp, chances are it will get corrected when you glue the fingerboard back on. You want a flat surface on the neck to work with, but if possible, avoid re-flattening it to any extreme degree because that will mess with the projection and all that and you'll need to make corrections for that. So, give preference to changing the fingerboard, since that is a relatively easily replaceable part. 👍
@FraJa1980 17 күн бұрын
@@SculptyWorks Yeah I know, had the same problem with comments. You'd think a company like KZbin would fix that. it was pretty warped, I'm talking 0.2 mm gap on one side and around 1.8-2mm on the other and it had a faint hump on the right side base around the neck joint area, looking down the side it looked like a stretched out letter S. I wish I had seen your comment earlier because I did do quite a levelling job to get most of that bowing and warping out but I tried to keep the same angle for the fb protrusion as it had before as much as I could. I even took a little off above the pegbox to make up for the hight differential between the highest and lowest part of the gap and still preserve that angle but I eyeballed it so I'm hoping I'm still ok on that end. Fingerbord lies flat on it with no gaps now and looks to still have the correct angle, just a little lower so here goes hoping I didn't mess it up. I'm learning a lot here so if anything that's worth the 70$ this thing cost me.

@SculptyWorks Ай бұрын
You can buy regular shellac that they sell at places like Home Depot. I would recommend getting the amber colored variety so it adds some color to the instrument, unless you are able to turn it into colored varnish yourself. Try to keep the varnish as thin as possible. It will take several coats, but they need to be extremely thin, so maybe dilute the shellac with some ethyl alcohol (I avoid denatured alcohol that has methanol in it, it's poisonous!). You'll probably want to sand a little between coats also. If you know how to French polish, that would keep the coats thinner than applying with a brush, but is A LOT more work. 👍
