How is the Heart carved on Lute pegs ? Good video

You'll see me there, all right. I'm bringing a freshly sharpened set of brain-picks--can't wait!

I wish I could make it but I've got a work trip during this time! What a bummer. I'm working on my first lute now with the hope of building a lot more. I wish there were more resources available but between David Van Edwards course, Lundberg's book, Clive's handful of videos and your blog I feel like I'm fairly ok. But there's still a lot to figure out on what works for me. I might shoot you an email because I'm about to build another mold and there's a few things you do that I think I want to incorporate which deviates from how David has his instructions. Good luck with the festival!

Look like Arabic oud .. Nice Do you tray make oud ?

Thanks for this, Travis. Not for the first time I find myself wondering what an instrument-maker's life was like before the invention of adhesive tape!

Thanks for sharing. It's never crossed my mind to use a palette knife to spread the glue.

Thanks for sharing this! The way those bolts hold the work has me thinking now as I get further along building my first lute. Haven't got to the neck yet, but the bowl is off the mold at least. Thanks again.

Awesome! I'm working on finishing up my first lute bowl and these kind of videos are amazingly helpful! Thanks for the insight.

Thank you for sharing. Your videos and blog has proved to be an invaluable source of information and inspiration in my own lute building adventures!

I have to revisit my cutting geometry. I have a scratch-built peg lathe but not as fast as that in the cutting.

Cool video thanks!

Wonderfull, great sound!!! What diapason have your lute? More 70cm?

This is awesome! It's inspiring me to make my own (much smaller) loot

It looks like a very nice place ! Greetings from Quebec

Thank you for sharing! Love the behind the scenes.

what do you tune to?

Great work very nice ,what type of varnish you are using it's already mix or you need to mix it and hoe many coats you need to fully finish? Thx

That’s a wonderful sounding lute, Travis! Would love to see a short video of you playing your own new lute. :)

Danke, es klingt sehr schön!

That is a GORGEOUS instrument! I have some wood picked out for a 7-course Renaissance lute I’d like to build, but I’m woefully under-equipped when it comes to tools. What recommendations would you have for a youngling who wants to get into lute building?

Thank you for the videos. A comment and a couple of questions. Video quality is excellent. Sound is way too soft. It is difficult to hear. I would be happy to do some processing on it if you would like. It sounds like you wait two days between coats. Do you buff the varnish when it is dry? If so, how long between the final coat and buffing?
