Thank you for choosing such intriguing pieces of the repertoire to accompany the natural sound of your work and no talking. Fantastic work.

[@randyallamon7603]

To me, one of the most fascinating parts of the process would have been to see the rosettes sliced of of the block. Wish you had shown that.

[@1cleandude]

Yes o true!🙏🏻

Wow ur work it's inspired to me now I'm confident to make a guitar I'm from in Kerala I search it any luthier job in online but I did not find in on line in kerla but most of them buying from abrod that is best quality but I'm thinking why don't we make here in kerla lot of tropical forest and 60%people have on land and planting wood like teak wood mahagony karimaram,(eboney) and Rose wood but Rose wood and sandal it's need licence for cultivating even also it's available here huge quantity and quality so I want make .some legend luthier from you Tub it's inspired to me your among one of them keep it up Love from God's own country .(Kerala it's south lndian state same like climat in Florida )

Old World Craftsmanship Quality! Outstanding! This man has passion in what he does and it shows in his work. I saw the how to make a rosette video also and WOW!

[@Gerry2210]

Great to watch the transformation that takes place, a few pieces of wood becoming such a piece of art.

I now i've posted comments before on this video, but every time i see, it it amazes me. Greetings from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.

[@JMichaelThames]

Thanks!

I don't know how I stumbled on these rosette videos, but pt. 1 and 2 are both oddly fascinating. Truly an art. You should hire an independent film maker to consolidate all of your guitar making videos and do the hard work of film making so you can keep doing what you do best building guitars. PBS and beyond awaits!

[@JMichaelThames]

Great I've enjoyed making them. Thanks for sending them to the fretboard journal! I'm making a cuitar making DVD as well as interviews with other makers and players.

[@mathewbmathai1488]

Can you make a tutorial all the measurement wood thickness and thin also length body and bridge .each gap to fret bord .I'm interested ur vdo and alredy subscribed God bless you

[@EmuwuNora]

God, that's what I'd call a 'natural beauty!' Awesome rosette!

[@PinprickSociety]

I love it! I would really love to make my own classical guitar someday. I must find a book about the physics of guitars.

[@guitarvlog164]

Really been enjoying these videos Michael. Have shared them with the editors at Fretboard Journal via twitter.

[@BuickDoc]

beautiful work!

[@kennymccormick9347]

Amazing work

[@Dzakovich000]

"Oops. I put all the rosettes on the inside of the top."

[@koenie17]

Beatifull!! Thanks for sharing. When you use the iron and the waterspray doesn't it stain the soundboard? Thank u very much.

[@ananda5880]

Yes, please can you say how you made a slice from the block. Thank you for sharing your art.

[@Joshpwelton1903]

NIce video, i have been looking at different techniques for guitar building, thhis video has made it easy to understand. I was wondering where you can ge the tools you were using or how you can make them? thanks

[@bufton6]

Nice work. How did you unstick the bulk rosette from the round wooden form from the first video? Also, is there a techinique to shape the angles and arcs on the ties to accurately produce a circle when they're all in place? Thanks. Sorry for being a pest.

[@gonococox]

Mucho powerrr

[@ellobosolitario19]

Great!, how did you cut the rosette you made in part 1?

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

This is fascinating stuff, but where is part 3? How do you finish this off?

[@koolhandvuk]

Nice video. Great technique.That toothbrush gets used more than at a dentist office!

[@PtGarlic]

Is there a reason why you have made the rosette with a smaller circumference than the actual soundhole route? Is it because you want to make that area around the soundhole stiffer? Thanks for the videos -- it's enjoyable and I have learned a lot.

[@2x4tube]

@MAVIEGUITARS i think you should take a look at part 1!

[@motimenow]

Aloha Michael, I guess pressing of the iron heats the moisten wood allowing it to expand as well as moving the wood laterally to fall into the dowelled fret area? Could one extend or build it larger so the rosette further into the voided area or does it matter at this point being short of center? Thanks, joe

[@juraciaparecidofrata9093]

juraci de jaguariuna sp.HOW TO a rosette:é possivel adquirir essa ferramenta?.se puder responder em portuguez.ok?

[@MicroRCFiend]

Awesome work with really basic tools. The bandsaw work without a push stick on part 1 had me cringing with blades so close to obviously guitar fingers and I was waiting for some elegant way to fill that gap in the rosette. It seems odd that it was different size and place gap in each rosette. What I miss?

[@mattsmith8357]

The fretboard extends into the rosette where the gap is.

[@MicroRCFiend]

Matt Smith I read your comment, then I look at my guitar, then I feel daft :) Thanks for the clarity Matt

[@TexasSizzle]

Michael have you made the Guitar making DVD yet? Thanks. All the Best!

[@18roselover]

Michael did you resaw the big batch of rosettes on a sled using a bandsaw ?? ernie kleinman

[@TexasSizzle]

Michael, have you madd the guitar making DVD yet? Thanks, All my best!

[@1cleandude]

Why not center the rosette gap with glue seam of top??🙏🏻 why the gap too?🙏🏻

[@nitsuga6784]

There is 1000 arms Chenrezig picture on the wall :)

[@danyo]

pero no mostraron como corto la roseta...

[@Jorge_Organero1684]

Please excuse my ignorance... I would like to know how the artisan will close the gap in the rosette on this small place where there is nothing but an emty space.

[@christianharbour821]

If i understand you correctly, it wont matter because the fret board will go over it

[@Jorge_Organero1684]

hehe, why the hell i did not think about it? :P

Everything is crooked and askew, a very bad tool.
