Varnishing the viola ...

[@0mrbarrera4]

I love watching this because I have my own and it sounds nice 😁

I have no particular interest in violas or wood working but this was a very captivating video. Every motion fine tuned from years and years of experience, a great craftsman for sure.

That cat is beautiful.

Eu nunca me canso de ver este vídeo ...

[@BrianLisusViolins]

Hi .... no I add nothing to the balsam and just cook it down. Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos.

[@ersikillian]

Is that "Death and the Maiden" playing in the background?

[@layer8man]

Does anyone know what Brian is putting in the bottom pot at 2:50? Is that sand or saw dust?

[@nickyork8901]

It is a type of sand, I believe, helps to control the heat to have a sand bath

[@2BitMusician]

@BLviolin just a quick question, what do u use for the base coat and is it the same for a violin? i hear people use a coat of shellac, i heard some1 used half methylated spirits and half the actual varnish they used? thanks!

[@ChristosSpourdalakis]

Hello I wonder if you could tell me where in Europe I could find those products from Magister.

[@BrianLisusViolins]

Magister products have not been available since 2012 so unfortunately there is nowhere where you can purchase them.

[@NickiHerodsmusic]

Is that a regular pencil that you used to write on the violin?

[@youllregretit]

if i use a hotplate outside,can i wash it? perhaps i should use a large can inside of my hotplate to not ruin it. i want to cook with it afterwards. what is between the two cooking pots from that huge bag? ash?

[@Kallinenjp]

Where do you get your balsam from? I can't seem to find it.

[@ozgundemirr]

why do you choose to use balsam instead of resins?

[@221Dw]

What is the pencil used to make the back like that?

[@jetxuuuu]

what piece of music is this???

[@ersikillian]

I have never seen anyone apply varnish using just their fingers.

[@josefgajda2062]

That clear ground seems to be colored

[@richardpope9725]

It is. Unless the maker is Houdini and can put clear coat on wood and it magically change to yellow. My guess is it is gamboge diluted with denatured alcohol.

[@gary24752]

Forget the music and explain what he is doing!

[@TheMaux79]

wood makup

[@0mrbarrera4]

Lol 😝

[@0mrbarrera4]

Who’s watching this at 2020 stay healthy and stay inside.

[@artfx9]

A pencil? Seriously? Wouldn't have thought of that

[@nohandle62]

Again, a beautiful instrument ruined by writing on it.
