Gilles,I looked all four parts on rehairing.This is the most professionaly explaned and done rehair work on the internet!

[@smokedoak5464]

Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with us! Doing a rehair "the other way round" seems unconventional to me but it actually appears to be a great technique. I really have to try this! All the best to you!

[@meisenman]

Remember to insert the ferrule the correct way before you continue, to avoid having to remove the hair from the tip later after you discover your mistake. The eased corners point toward the tip of the bow.

Mille merci pour partager votre savoir !!! humble suggestion pour la colophane à piler. Je me sers du pilon aux herbes fines, je recommande celui servant aux herbes du couscous qui pile plus fin que celui utilisé en Provence. Je suis certain que l'experte en arrosage de pernambouc sera ravie d'apprendre à piler la colophane . mais attention, si elle prépare le couscous ensuite, il faut bien nettoyer le récipient car la colophane est très indigeste.

Is the wedge for the furrel made from oak?

[@michaelwhisman7623]

It can be.

[@smokedoak5464]

In this case it seems to be beech wood. I used limewood for the most part, but I've been told it's good to take harder wood for the wedge, since it has to keep the hair spread in place. Especially in the corners of the ferrule. Gilles Nehr is a great craftsman!

not hammer.Questo é debilitá

[@infinitepawer]

Is it wrong if I insert the ferrule & spread wedge after tie the head knots ?? To me its one very convenient way to do it :P I saw some other rehair tutorial where they actually done insert the hair & head plug then only back to do this part (insert this triangle wedge), by doing so its easier for them to hide those crossing hair is it ?? By the way i dont get it why suddenly women come out from nowhere in all these video, some kind of advertisement ?? Not really any problem to me but kind of weird in tutorial like this :P Thanks again. Very helpful video especially for new rehair beginner like me. The best among all the video i had watched!!

[@GillesNehr]

It's not an advertisement at all. Just my wife (and even our kids in part 4) having fun participating in my videos. Some people like it some don't I can't erase it anyway unless I erase the whole videos.
