Thank you! 😊

I assume it can be done like on a regular guitar, though I'm not familiar with the properties of their carbon composite fretboard.

They did not explain themselves (as of this post), they just quit.

I got mine locally, but you can find them on Amazon or places that sell stained glass supplies. Search for "stained glass foiler tool".

I think the design is actually one of the most complicated parts of the whole thing! 😉 There are many ways to go about it. This is how I did this one: First, I decided the shape I wanted for the lampshade. I used an antique studio light shade as base for that and made a papier-mâché mold in the shape I wanted. Then do some math to divide the shade into however many repeats you want. This is the most crucial step, you have to get it right otherwise nothing will fit in the end. There's some trial and error sometimes when creating a new pattern. If your pattern doesn't repeat, then just go straight to drawing. When you know the size of your repeats, start drawing. Takes practice to know what works and what doesn't. Then make copies of the drawing, cut them out and see if they fit on the mold. It's normal to have to go back and make corrections. When everything fits nicely, glue the pattern to the mold and seal it with something (Mod Podge glue works great). You need to account for the fact that once you try to put flat pieces on a curved surface, the gaps between the pieces will be bigger, and it's Ok to have some wiggle room, but the bigger the gaps the more solder you'll need, and after some point it gets wasteful and adds a lot of weight to the shade.

Thanks for such a detailed reply! There’s not a lot of information out there on the design process for these.

@@user-ik8wn7bu1b 👍👍 It can be a pretty complex process. Takes me a lot of trial-and-error to get a new pattern right.

😢

it might be a bitter joke that they decided to retire when they got 4.33M subs also, they left 29 videos.. john cage's 4'33'' had premiered on 29-08-1952

​@@GoodMorning-b2w damn... Kinda sounds like it.

👍👍

Scary!

I don't know if I'll ever make a video on that, but I simply wrap sandpaper on a dowel of corresponding size. For the final polish, I have a strop block with various radius for the round insides. 👍

I know the feeling, it used to be strange for me too, but now that I work with them like this all the time, it's almost 'natural'. 😉

That might be the case if they sat in an office, anonymously filing paperwork, or if they were unremarkable members of an orchestra or something impersonal like that, but their 'job' here on KZbin was based on attracting attention and interaction from the audience, and they presented themselves as approachable and friendly to their audience, which does create a sense of participation, that will leave people feeling dejected if they suddenly just up and quit. People should not stop playing, they should not stop practicing because TwoSetViolin is gone, but the sadness that the loss of these 'entertainers' will bring is real and understandable.

@SculptyWorks stop being parasocial, bub. Find real friends

⁠​⁠@@SculptyWorksnope! You’re wrong! It’s not rude they don’t owe you anything and you should be smart enough to handle your own emotions but maybe you’re not!

shouldn't affect you at all. Get over it, my dude.

Practicing never ends! 😉

Thank you! 😊

The GS Mini is an absolutely amazing guitar! It is far louder and more resonant and has more overtones than any of the carbon fiber guitars I've tried over the years, except those by Emerald Guitars, but those are $4k. The only reason I would suggest a carbon fiber guitar over a GS Mini is if you are in an environment that is truly unfriendly to a guitar made of wood, and even then the GS Mini is quite a sturdy instrument.

Olive oil is indeed a very good method for cleaning, if you have the time for it. 👍👍

Great tip! 👍

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

wasn't halloween like a month ago?

While their exit was poorly executed, I don't think it invalidates the good things they did in the past. And over 11 years, things can change, situations can change, people can change. What they do today might affect our perception of them now, but back then, they were funny and inspiring and that isn't regretful. 😊

@@SculptyWorks Actually it does invalidate everything directly because they have deleted everything.

@@hamwhacker That affects anyone from here on, but the enjoyment we had with them in the past won't be erased because they deleted the videos. 😜

@@SculptyWorks But nobody else new to TwoSetViolin (young or old) will ever find their videos and smile now. It’s tragic actually.

@@hamwhacker That is indeed lamentable.

It can be tough, but what they did to inspire people was genuinely good, so maybe that will inspire you to practice again once you've had time to process things. 👍

Whatever it is, the delivery was not good. They could have done this better.

💔

I do think that when you have 4 MILLION people following you (even if half of those were bots), you should bother to elaborate a little on why you are suddenly ending this thing that was obviously popular. Yes, they can do whatever they want, and at the end of the day they are just people like everybody else, but to declare the end without elaborating on it shows a lack of consideration for their audience. They needed better PR.

Hopefully someone will say something eventually!
