'You have to think of everything and after you thought of everything you have to hope you thought of everything..........' Never a more true saying, but experience sure helps a great deal and Jerry, you have experience.

[@johnthomas2255]

You have the patience of a saint , every obstacle you meet, you solve immediately, EXCELLENT JOB JERRY.

[@Green.Michael]

Waking up to a video and going to sleep to one. Jerry is spoiling us on the first day of the year

[@skotskiable]

I like the way you think. I got a little sick to my stomach when you were lining up the peg head though (when it was upside down). I've been in that kind of situation many times and know that sometimes your mind is racing faster than your hands and logic can keep up. You remind me a lot of myself in many ways. I very much enjoy the songs you play during the "off camera" times, and would like to learn more about them. I can't thank you enough for your persistence and "perfectionism." I suffer from it also. Hang in there pal!

[@Clunk49]

I like the music too.

[@alexandriashannon7438]

Check out Rosa String Works online, I think that is where he has info about the music, its his own family band, he is that talented.

[@antonsworldofvideos8096]

Geeeshhhh that mandolin sounds gorgeous!!! You are an absolute artist Jerry to introduce that huge chunk of wood in the exact way to create sound of that quality. Props to you Jerry. Excellent job. Epic.

[@FunsongsMusicByPeterRahill]

53rd RSW and The Chapmans fan LIKE; view 466. Happy New Year 2023.

[@tomboese367]

My Brother, Jerry, I absolutely cracked up when you said "... it's working for me, your results may very." I love playing music, I love woodworking, I love carving, but I will never be at your level of creative repairs. yes, indeed, my results WILL very. I LOVE your program, God bless you well.

[@jthonn]

Well I have to say, I never doubted you for a minute. It looks awesome, as good as new if not better. It sounds nice and looks like it is in perfect intonation. Jerry once again you are the man, or should I say, the mandolin expert.

[@DavidGiragosian]

Impressive how much you free hand, Jerry. You must have steady hands!

[@costrio]

I didn't catch part 2 ( I thought the notice was for part one, which I'd already viewed) until you mentioned it in your Jan 2 update. Glad you did remind us. What a problem! I still say this mandolin might have gone up in value as a collector's item -- as a Rosa Repair which comes with a video record of it's repair work? Just saying that the value of an object depends more upon its usage and tone than its looks, IMO If I were in sales, I'd use that as a selling point. ;)

[@davidtharp6790]

Just one word Jerry. AMAZING!

[@thatlisagirl71]

You are amazing

[@bobl2995]

Fantastic repair Jerry really enjoyed all the detail in this video

[@zapa1pnt]

That's what's really great, about Jerry's channel. 😁😃😍 He shows and talks about the details. Very few others even come close.

[@zapa1pnt]

"This thing can eat your lunch, in a hurry." If you're not real careful, it can dig into yesterday's lunch, too. 😲😨😱

[@michaelpthompson]

Fascinating! Glad to be following along.

[@jimhuskins8506]

Great job, Jerry. One of the things I like most about your work is that you are fearless. You wade in where others fear to tread. I always get good ideas when I watch your videos. I can give you an option for keeping glue joints from shifting. A few grains of fine, sharp sand sprinkled widely over the contact surface keeps stuff in place when parts are clamped. Takes only a little. I bought a bag of sandbox filler from Lowe’s about ten years ago. I mostly filled a pint jar with sand and used the rest in some potting mix. I’m confident that pint is a lifetime supply. Thanks for this video series. I believe I’ll use this technique to graft the pegbox back onto an old Kay bass.

[@rayclark9643]

Great way to start off the New Year...makes up for some of the stuff that you've had go wrong as of late!

[@dalesearcy5734]

Great save, Jerry! Love watching the Chapmen's Channel as well as yours.

[@rolfsimonsson2295]

Wow! You’re a real craftsman if there ever was one. Good job!

[@Apillicus]

Man you weren't kidding on how quick that sander takes off wood. The rasp part looks fun though

[@marchaller548]

Magic Jerry!

[@stevenleek1254]

The drama and suspense is on par with a good movie at times!

[@Mojokiss]

I saw this in person! Great job old buddy. You bring me joy.

[@subdude1234]

Jerry, your simply amazing!

[@juhs]

One of your best repairs sir

[@robknights7205]

When their is a problem glue you, it’s a good technique to do a dry clamp to organise the clamp positions .The pins are good texhnique

[@davidreid8835]

I’m not a luthier or even a musician but I love music and woodworking. This video afforded me the opportunity to enjoy both pleasures so thanks for that. Virtuoso woodworking and virtuoso mandolin playing in a single video. Thanks for a great video.

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Great work. Hope he is paying you Jerry, for your expertise

[@dandrews1]

I think Larivee and other fine instrument makers should adopt the contouring pattern you used for the back of the nut end of the neck. It looks great and adds much stability to the design.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Another Impressive & Amazing Repair Jerry!! Of course, I was certain you'd "pull 'er through, and you DEFINITELY DID NOT disappoint!! Boy! That mandolin surely did produce a GREAT TONE, when Jeremy went to town, on "Roanoke!!" WOW!!! I must tell you, that I didn't recognize Jeremy until you introduced him!! I guess I didn't realize how much time has gone by, since I first saw photos of he and his brothers, & their Dad, on the cover, & within the "J-Card" of their 2001 CD release: "Follow Me." I can still remember the evening, & situation, in which I heard the Chapman's music for the first time. I was living in West Virginia's eastern panhandle at the time, which many people refer to as the "Tri-State" area, meaning the WV; MD; & Pennsylvania Tri-State area. Anyway right before "Follow Me" was released, I'd discovered a great, Sunday evening, Bluegrass radio show, on an FM station, out of Cumberland, MD; called: "The Jack Duke Show." I could only pick that station up, on the radio of the mini-van I owned at the time, I couldn't pull it in at all on my home stereo. So as a result, I would go and sit in my van on Sunday evenings, & listen to Jack, and the great selection of music that he played. Anyway, one Sunday evening in the Summer of 2001, Jack, (without announcing it first), played the lead off cut from the Chapman's CD - "Follow Me" which is entitled: "Losing Again." Man! I was ABSOLUTELY BOWLED OVER by the Chapman's singing & instrumental work, & by the melody & bluesy style of that song itself!! Plus, the fact that Russell Moore sung tenor harmony with 'em on the choruses, wasn't bad either!!! 😊 Afterward, Jack told who the artists were, & that it was their brand new release. I had never heard of the Chapmans before that time, but definitely found myself wanting to HEAR MORE OF THEM, after that night!! I don't think it was any longer than a week later, that I drove to one of my favorite stores in Hagerstown, MD; ("Border's Books & Music"), and bought me a copy of that CD!! 🙂 Unfortunately I lost that CD, along with many others, which were in a CD Wallet, that was among lots of other belongings in a storage unit which a housemate of my GF & I, caused us to lose, back in 2016! Thankfully though, that CD of the Chapmans is here on KZbin, where I just went and listened to it, a few moments ago!! Hope You & All Your Family Have A Very Happy, Blessed & Prosperous New Year, Jerry!! God Bless! & Highest Regards Always! Ron H. Abilene, TX.

[@thefreese1]

Jerry is about the only luthier that would tackle something like this .... there was one other one close to Caseville, but he passed away a few years back .. I have a Kentucky that needs the same thing done to it .. its still all in one piece but its paper thin under the truss rod and you can't adjust it or it'd snap for sure .... so if it ever comes to having to adjust it ..that'll be when I'll tackle that ..

[@pepcjim1]

I have a Ibanez with the same break. Hopefully I can the same result. Nothing else has worked so far. Thanks for this PHD course.

[@daryllossing1340]

Jerry.....You are a Wood Surgeon! Great videos...again!!!

[@lrstaf6]

Hi Jerry; Another excellent job! I just love your practical approach to everything. I also love how you do it right. If it's not right the first time, you don't just cover it over, you backtrack and do it right. The instrument is beautiful again and plays beautifully again. Keep on truckin.

[@noelgraham4607]

That guy can play a mandolin!

[@mattomon1045]

Happy new year

[@Ninoy2059]

Job well done. As always, nice video.

[@MattCaffell]

Wisdom to do it in less and less violent increments. What will do a lot, can do a little, What can do a little won't do much damage.

[@stu-j]

The stainless rod is used yes as a trus rod but mostly as a strengthening tod ( to stop any bow ) the same way lots of acoustic makers now use carbon fibre rods either side of a straight trus rod to stop any bow whatsoever. And repairers of vintage instruments from the turn of the century now add carbon fibre stiffening rods to guitars that never had a trus rod. Good repair and result.

[@rhettbickley9097]

Marvelous sound! Jerry, you are the wizard.

[@EDP1]

great woodwork . its almost a chame to paint it . happy new year all .

[@bertrodriguez3087]

Boy that sounds and looks great!! Phenomenal job Jerry!!

[@mitzioden4926]

Excellent work on the mandolin! I knew you would do a great job on it. It sounds very good too.

[@skotskiable]

Just as an after thought,... it took me probably 40 years to quit my nail biting habit. I believe it comes from being a deep thinker.

[@JustChiminin]

Pleasure to watch the master at work . .

[@jaythompson9565]

Long time fan, enjoy watching u work. ❤

[@jaythompson9565]

U have the patience of Job. Always wondered how u keep up with your time on each instrument? I'm retired, so I understand, just sad.

[@pawwalton2157]

Great job documenting the broken neck repair. That neck is stronger than new and looks great. Thanks for sharing your experience and techniques for repairing instruments. Happy New Year!

[@user-ch9jo8mi7m]

Stew mac makes a "Robo-Sander Flush Trim Sander" that would be perfect for you sanding the head stock. It has a phenolic bearing that would ride on the finished part of the head and would have allowed you to sand to the edge of the head without worrying about sanding in to the side of the head that is already finished and saved you about 1/2 hour. . It is pretty inexpensive if that can be said of anything that Stew mac sells. It would have been perfect for sanding the edge the head.

[@HellcatCustoms]

Another excellent repair, Jerry.

[@timziegler9358]

I use finish nails, absent their heads, as drill bits. And I too suffer from hand dexterity, so for close sensitive work I use hand stitched rasps to remove the majority of the wood. I truly enjoy your videos! Best wishes.

[@wingracer1614]

I love when he started strumming the chords and a smile came to his face and his head bobbed like "yeah, that's feels right." You know you did it well when you see that.

[@ernestpinder7557]

This was excellent Jerry. Nice to see you Luthering again after a long period of less engaging fixes and on line influencering. Thank you for taking us along not only on the actual repair, but also including us in your decision making process.

[@shartne]

Better than new again wow.

[@kevsumner2064]

Better and stronger than it was from the factory. Brilliant job.

[@robinengland5799]

Amazing work!!!! Wish I had your skill and patience!!!

[@cwilczak8706]

That neck was soooo bad that you had to make a new word to describe how bad is was! LOL. Great job Jerry.

[@steverhenius6734]

Amazing repair and added value. Mandolin is collectible ‘as revised by Jerry Rosa’. Jeremy’s playing ain’t so dusty either :-)

[@blackbirdpie217]

I recently learned the salt trick to prevent a scarf joint from slipping.

[@rafaelcuadra5009]

Wow....how many hours on that job, really, how many hours? I am using your play book to fix my humming bird. The break is almost the same..w.a.y. to go batman!!!!!!!!!!! wathched this a few times, again ty for the vid!

[@danielkalbermatter]

wonderful job Jerry! You are the master!

[@zapa1pnt]

I was going to suggest using a farrier's rasp, on that much maple, but now, I see it looks like that is what you are using.

[@markdannewitz3424]

Great video of a difficult repair that produced fantastic results! Thank you!

[@russbeston1729]

Right on Jerry , nice to see a pro at work. Cheers

[@gottaflylee5521]

Wow, that was amazing!!! Great job Jerry.!!!

[@benjellow9785]

Another great job!

[@THE-END-OF-TIMES]

I really have to give Jerry a middle name... Jerry "go-the-extra-mile" Rosa. Because that's what he does. Every single time.

[@chrisclarke3670]

Nice job on this fiddly job (pun intended). You sure needed a lot of patience to fix this one.

[@redlaur]

You saved a very nice Mandolin!!!

[@266sopwith]

Snot on a doorknob you have a way with words😂😂

[@makebelievestunt]

Wow, great job -- it sounds wonderful.

[@fredwagner240]

Great job... God is good!!

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Fantastic work again Jerry, I love the last minute or two, owner satisfaction and happiness for a job well done. I am so appreciative of your work, ethic, and demeanor, you've taught me lots too, carry on good Sir and top of the New Year! On Dremels, arthritis ect., my hands are pretty borked as well, been years, and as somebody who worked on very small pieces for a long time one of the best investments I made was for a Fordom like model Dremel with a long flex-shaft and the 'pencil' hand piece for light/fine work, they do tend to wear out fairly quickly if over pressured and I have mine with a quick release which adds a bit of weight but man it gave my hands relief. Just a thought 'r two fer you :)

[@steveharris2589]

Great job Jerry!!!!))😊😊😊🎸🎸🎸

[@josheakinsmusic2526]

49:25 At a metal fabrication shop I used to add a bevel to aluminum parts using an upside down router. It works really great. Im guessing it would probably would work just as well for wood to. Awesome video as always!!

[@brad42948]

Great work Jerry!!

[@thomastommy1192]

You are doing a great job on that Mandolin. I don't thank the factory could have did it any better. What did you say the name of that glue is? "The glue you used on the trim. I truly hope you and your family have a Blessed safe New Year.

[@subdude1234]

Canopy glue. Can be found in hobby stores and online. Used on the plastic canopies of RC airplanes, and a whole lot of uses.

[@mikeottink5393]

Awesome job! ❤

[@zapa1pnt]

Emeri, great work, on the video productions and dang nice songs, too. Thank you, for all the things you do, to save Jerry many hours, of work and frustration. Happy New Year, to you and yours.

[@markgandcompany]

Wow !!!

[@phillipbingham487]

Nice work Jerry

[@jackbombeeck4958]

I was wondering why you didn't use 2 of the holes for the tuners with a tight(ish) dowel? That way there is no metal left behind that could cause future repair issues.

[@elizabethholloway3244]

Just WOW!

[@billwyatt2449]

Outstanding

[@bldallas]

Really like the big volute. Don’t recall if the original has one, but they definitely add strength and a bit of pizzazz.

[@carlosvelazquez4649]

Awesome end result, but what else would you expect from Jerry.

[@danielr.schafer9504]

Hi Jerry you may have thought a plexiglass front on thar dust cover might be helpful? For video sake… more light/viewing ? Great work! I could watch all day, but.

[@JeffGillis-lv1rz]

Amazing.

[@snookdock]

Jerry Rosa to the rescue

[@Tommy-Art-Strong]

Awesome!😊

[@aaronlturner]

Amazing!

[@DavidGiragosian]

??? Does the glue on the strip of wood over the truss rod contact the truss rod itself?

[@MoMoneyMan]

Happy New Year!

[@basseyacousticworks]

Hi happy new year. Please can you restore my bass guitar

[@rzh3443]

Yet another Rosa miracle as we are all witnesses. Did you least make them cut some firewood for you before they left?

[@user-oo2wf7cf6h]

Great job , and Interesting video 😍!! What kind of singer sings from time to time in it?

[@essentialjudge2279]

it was a decent repair but there are many local luthiers funny they didn't just use someone local. They play well but not very social. lack people skills. This guys done some much better work

[@debagusadi3626]

Nice, best channel i"m Like music too

[@mikaelforss5725]

As always great videos. But I think, are they necessary to glue the piece of wood you put in the bottom of the trusrod, what would happen if you don't glue it?

[@mikaelforss5725]

Don't answer, thinking of during the video, I figure it out. Too much stress on the actual fingerboard, right!?

[@kendellbise8875]

I have one that needs this done but it’s not a Larravee😂 it’s a Gretch,

[@markwisely8146]

Really nice job, got one with the same break. What kind of glue did you use to put the fretboard?

[@danwaldie4661]

Are you using new brushes to spread the glue? Do you clean them or throw them out after use?
