Thank you for sharing … while soaking up a stunningly done video … it is abundantly clear I’m watching a master craftsman at work … where everything is pure artistry !! 🙏

[@OscarGDiaz]

Si hay algo que supera el saber tocar un instrumento, es el fabricarlo. Arte puro y de los mas bellos que existen. Gracias por compartir...

[@richbarnfather675]

Thank you for sharing this! You must have had the vision of that beautiful guitar in mind from the start. I can really appreciate the thoughtful and painstaking process it involves.

[@lukavilisac1911]

This video was so well crafted. Guitar craftsmenship has told a story about itself. Well done mate!

[@francescosessa8719]

Magnifico! great finish all natural no stain, beautiful wood grain. Thanks for a great video

[@LadyMngwa]

Thank you for amazing video! I am a beginner/intermediate guitarist and it is immensely interesting to see full process and understanding how the instrument is made. All the time during watching I was imagining all the things that could go wrong - miss one milimeter here, be too hasty and glue is not hardened enough, forget to add that piece, do not center the saddle properly pushing it by one nanometer to the side ... just one of the million things is enough for whole guitar becoming unplayable at the end omg. Glad that everything went well and the guitar looks amazing :)

[@CMRWoodworks]

I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Great video and the guitar looks great too!

[@twt0417]

[@amezcuaist]

The tool list shows a Caliastro Plane with a screw cap instead of a lever cap. That works much better but is not shown in the video . Any lever cap can be changed to a screw cap very easily . When you saw bone it has a very characteristic stink . Then you know it`s the real thing . The video is a Blessing .

[@baronsanggha9978]

It's so relaxing to watch this video👍 Btw, I often see a luthier build a classical guitar from two pieces of wood glued together for the soundboard and the back. Is it possible to make the soundboard from one single piece of wood?

[@Vladx]

It is possible, but its very rare to find piece of spruce in that width with ideal grain. Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanewer5910]

Am waiting a luthier built guitar, they say between 12 and 15 weeks

[@fatroberto3012]

I wonder how Antonio de Torres got the sides down to that thickness in the 1860s?

[@yellowcat1310]

so was that sawdust mixed with the shellac as a wood filler?

[@kodeik]

no entiendo... le cambio las cenefas o la del final es otra guitarra?

[@GerasimosHandmadeGuitars]

Is that oil and dust to grain fill????

[@DougHinVA]

So the time , work, materials have to be recovered if the guitar is to be sold. And how many can afford it and play well enough to buy a handmade classical versus buy a good factory one?

[@installgentoo8561]

[@brucescism]

Wonderful video: a couple of questions - 1) did you build your own solera, or - it looks like maybe you used a flat board and wedged around the lower edges to create the right neck angle and curvature on the top; and 2) the book you listed doesn't show any longer on the Amazon link, what is the title and author? Thanks much. Looking forward to hearing from you - if you're still monitoring this video's comments.

[@Vladx]

Yes, I made my own solera, it is flat board wedged around the lower edges for curvature on the top. There is detailed instructions in the book: Making Master Guitars - Roy Courtnall. Thanks for watching!

[@sunwaterflowz]

Where I buy one from you

[@marianopaoloni1353]

And the sound test?

[@ikihioidydhdzddsdzdd]

Your setup to plane the sides thin is interesting. Is the bottom board clamped down or double stick taped down?

[@Vladx]

The bottom board has a piece of wood glued on bottom that acts like a hook so the board doesn't get pulled. Thanks for watching!

[@ikihioidydhdzddsdzdd]

@@Vladx Thank you for the reply. That's a good idea, I am going to try that myself.

[@lush462]

How did you cut the binding channels? Gramil before using the chisel?

[@DejaBluGuitars]

He showed it being scored/deep scratch cut at the target depth and thickness of the binding. You could use a small hand held square and exacto knife, then chisel and micro rasp, or files, etc., to sand away and clean up the channel. You could even do stepped binding in multiple passes. And as we say in the U.S., This ain't his first Rodeo! Excellent workmanship, and equally professionally edited/presented, cause in reality, Building any Stringed Instrument can be a brutal and very high-stress endeavor. Marc Somewhere in Alabama...

[@dumcMY]

Hi, we're DUMC, a church in Malaysia. We are inspired by the visuals and production of your video there (great work indeed!) and was wondering if we can have the permission to use parts of it for an upcoming Easter promo? It ties in very nicely with our theme for this year and will benefit us greatly.

probably shellac

[@alexander.angell]

@@spartanguitarist6579 i mean it does say shellac in the description

[@burkerow]

It's called a French polish using shellac. The powder is often fine pumice which acts as an abrasive to give it the polish.

[@carltondhouston]

@@burkerow the powder was used to fill pores in the wood prior to applying the shellac. It is the biggest part of getting that nice smooth even surface in the finish.

[@jorgefiguerola1693]

Why can't the back be made of one piece instead of gluing 2 pieces together? Maybe it's strictly visual. Confused JF

[@ElCanaldeJGRV]

Because is very rare to find a piece of spruce in that width with the ideal grain, almost no one guitar made of solid wood have single piece back.
