Building a Classical Guitar From Scratch | Part 1

[@philipkotze8327]

Really enjoyed this. I appreciate your combined usage of classic hand tools and modern automated tools, as well as wood and artificial materials. Beautifully done sir.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you very much!

It's always interesting to see how other luthiers work, and how we all more or less use many of the same techniques.

[@misunderstooddisciple]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this.

[@DieterSchneider]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Simply incredible work and such attention to details

Having successfully made a Torres style FE18 rosette using Pablo Requena's method (KZbin) I can appreciate the work that goes into yours. Beautiful. - We get to see how the rosette is assembled dry but sadly we don't see how you applied the glue.

[@DieterSchneider]

Pablo Requena is a great resource of learning, I have watched all his videos. His videos are much better for teaching than mine. I was pretty stressed out when I came to the gluing stage so I did not think of filming, but I used Pablo's technique with adding Titebond glue, then transferred the rosette from my template. What I do differently is using a cnc-machine for the soundhole cutout.

Ci que voce e um mestre marceneiro,onde conseguiu os gabaritos para construcao de um violao?

[@lawabidingcitizen5153]

Beautiful work! Love that tiny little plane you are using^^

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks a lot! That is a wonderful tool

[@joeyoungs8426]

That rosette is gorgeous. Green is not heavily used color for some reason but absolutely love it.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you! Cheers!

E parabéns ficou lindo,falta o video tocando ele

Cant wait for episode 3, mesmerizing attention to detail. Rosette is art

Que belo trabalho uma terapia ver um serviço tão profissional com dedicação assim top

[@jameshicks5909]

Name the guitarist and songs being played? Very good. Thanks

[@daringetae5136]

Great series. Did you have your soundboard and backboard with a dome in the middle. All luthiers advocate this method. For the backboard I understand is more for the comfort when the player holds the guitar. For the soundboard is to compensate for the pressure from the strings I believe. If it's flat most likely it will deep 2 or 3 mm. With that dome might get to horizontal. If it deeps it will also change the action at the 12th fret. Definitely has nothing to do with the sound of the guitar. I didn't notice in your vids doing the dome. Did you in reality? Thank you

[@russellscott1151]

Very nice design. I did something very similar on my last guitar. Did you water down the wood glue when building up the tiles? I would imagine that would make getting the tiles more consistent easier as I did find that tricky with full thickness glue. I was a bit surprised to see the cnc come out after using all those hand tools.

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks, yes, I did water down the glue a little, it helped pretty good. I also used hide glue on top of the rosette at last to fill tiny gaps. CNC is a great tool, I like to mix it up. Carving the neck can be done with the cnc as well, but I really enjoy carving it by hand.

[@russellscott1151]

@@DieterSchneider thanks Dieter. Yep, neck carving is fun :)

[@awiwii110]

Amazing work Master!!! 👏👏👏

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks a lot!

[@WhyWhoWhatHowWhereWhen]

Full top, no asemble from two pieces, amazing. The rosette so stressful.

[@billywhizz98]

Incredible nicely done you have a great talent

[@DieterSchneider]

Thank you so much 😀

[@airsoftfan00]

Wow. Thats some incredibly detailed work. May I ask how you managed to transfer the Rosette from the scrap wood to the soundboard so perfectly?. It seemed like you pressed it into the scrap piece quite firmly, so im wondering how you get it to stick to the tape so well without falling apart....

[@DieterSchneider]

Thanks. It's important that the tape is only in contact with the rosette. It holds suprisingly well, it's regular masking tape. The rosette groove must be identical in both the scrap wood and soundboard. For this a CNC-machine is perfect. The glue make the wood swell a bit so it's important to take this into account as well.

[@albertusdrostable]

How much would it cost just to buy all the tools needed for building a classical guitar? There are plans for building your own Hermann Hauser online for only 36 euros. But I haven't got a clue how much materials and tools are. I have to start from scratch. Can you help me out here?

[@madshusdal2133]

Kjempemessig! Gleder meg til del 2! Hvor kjøper du finer?

[@DieterSchneider]

Takker, Bestiller hos Madinter i Spania.

[@evgparkhomenko]

Hello. Do you use fanline veneer or real wood veneer?

[@DieterSchneider]

wood
