1940s Vintage Ukulele Restoration

[@willhovell9019]

Well done Remi. A fanatstic restoration. I heard it played yesterday at your shop in Kilburn

[@kardRatzinger]

My favourite part is 18:05, when they are showing the guy put black dye on a rag, about to re-stain the fretboard, and then they immediately cut to polishing the body with a different rag, as if he was smearing black dye all over the instrument :D Also, when they talk about "cutting the nut to the correct height", while the video is showing cutting tuning pegs to length.

"A wooden ukulele made of wood." That's some capital writing right there, fella.

[@pamepgros]

I love restoration videos, instruments and oil tools and appliances are my favorite types.

[@MASI_forging]

You did a great work. The Ukulele looks real good after renovation 🙂🙂

[@HauntedSidhe]

Beautifully done! Thanks for the video!

[@djuan01]

Great work, Artizan!

[@mentaldetecting]

Surely, the 'artisan' should be referred to a s a Luthier?

[@Stones_Throw]

I do love watching someone with skills refurbish items. I know nothing about instruments but am curious why no glue on the ends of the internal braces???

[@MichaelStoneham]

Most ukuleles have a tie on style bridge, so the strings don't come with ends to fit pin bridge style. What does the luthier use, a small bead ???

[@Manolito1961]

Amigo ..si trabajo me parece estupendo...me gusta como trabaja usted...gracias por en video..espero que haga muchos más...desde Sevilla España le mandó un cordial saludo...gracias👍

[@StevieD1]

You have all the right tools, and patience, and skill. Very nice work. My question is why use titebond instead of hot hide glue? Now it can never be opened again

[@jonathanmartin3375]

Titebond is easily reopened with water.

[@georgesarris2285]

Its beautiful

[@edwardpetersen4309]

Interesting that there was no lining used to attach the top and back to the sides. It's no wonder that it came apart.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

This is neat.

Somebody needs to send this guy a box of sanding pads.

[@l82nite]

Amazing

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Those are Aquila Nylgut strings, way more durable than Gut & they hold tune better

[@LilyHarrell-ox6bq]

I love your video

[@ВалерийБеликов-щ1н]

Bravo....😊😊😊

[@quiet_nightz]

is that colleens grandmas ukulele😭

[@zz675oor]

I have an old Russian icon. Are you interested restoring it? I will mail it to you and you will restore it for free. But you will make a video about your process.

[@MastersOfCraftOfficial]

Interesting, please email more details to hell[at]beamazed[dot]com and we'll take a look!

[@bloggalot4718]

Apparently white vinegar can loosen animal glue.

[@zensational.]

It's not the glue's fault it just wasn't stored properly

[@klintharder2155]

Lol... Master craftsman uses a butter knife to separate the glued pieces..

[@FlatfootJohnny]

Why not? It's flat, its flexible, it does the job.

[@codpug]

​@FlatfootJohnny yeah but it wasnt bought from stewmac and there for will never be acceptable 😅😅 /s

[@anthonywilson4873]

Actually the knife was developed for repair work generally its flexible the correct steel and has a handle that is easy to hold. It’s also useful for butter.

[@FlatfootJohnny]

@anthonywilson4873 there's an old saying: everything's a hammer, unless it's a screwdriver, then it's chisel... (or a butter knife🤣)

[@jackburman]

Nice edit

[@SweetSirenHafsa]

Nah maybe this was colleens old ukulele :0

[@Matthews_Media]

Seems like a vintage ukulele but was for sure a cheapo... Looks like Balsa wood... Very poorly made.. Bracing isnt even shaved down

[@mustamuri]

Too many mistakes...☹️

[@TehConqueror]

anyone else super bothered by the passive voice or is it just me?

[@meg-is-asleep]

I'm bothered by the finger placement at 4:34

[@cleanclouds]

Just you. You are on the wrong channel if the voice bothers you, especially for such type of video.

[@TehConqueror]

@@cleanclouds not their actual voice, the sentence construction where it's like the "The ball is kicked" vs the more common "they kicked the ball" or "the kicker kicks the ball" just feels weirdly.....impersonal to me

[@hpblack1953]

Correction: the instrument is pronounced ook-uh-lay-ly.

[@Mandobird1]

It's pronounced either ukulele, or ukulele.

[@idranardone4500]

Where’s the update on the cat

[@ronm3245]

We've no kitties here.
