Thank you for watching, and for sharing! Supporting community music means the world to me. #lute #ovcolute #charityauction #helluvadeal
Great that you've done this in support of the music community. An immense amount of care, effort, time and love goes into making an instrument such as this and they sound just fab. :) :)
Thank you! It was a really meaningful opportunity for me, and I'm glad to support community music through my work.
Beautiful work!!! It’s been a joy following the story.
Thanks for following along!
What a wonderful thing to be doing for the community! I am jealous, while I have the Lundberg book and have started building a descant, I have yet to finish the bowl. That 3D woodworking sure is a challenge. Seeing what you have built is both an inspiration and a curse, trying to get good enough to donate such an instrument to someone for a good cause. You have done wonderful work, and clearly have a good eye for beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing this. BTW, how much did it finally sell for? I hope it was worth the sale.
I think the Lundberg is an incredible reference but I do think there are places it suffers for the expertise of the author-- namely in the fitting of ribs. It is a testament to his experience that he could do it on the form with chisels and files, but I think it is a very hard way to learn! I personally prefer a setup more like a Cooper's plane, only using a chisel or file if I have found an error in a rib already glued in place. The Lundberg technique compensates better for a form that isn't geometrically perfect, though, so it's all about choosing your battles.
I wish you all the best with your descant, you'll get there in time!
@@benjaminkratchmer8124 It's interesting, some of the things he didn't go into. Like the fluting of the form, which he shows in pics but never mentions in text. I figured out how to do it, and so that's not an issue. But it's clear to me that he knew how to do it so well that he just didn't even consider parts of it that heavily.
Don't get me wrong, I consider it a gift, as there really isn't all that much else that I've found that isn't either a reprint of a 16th century book or is written with guitar construction in mind. He was a good writer, and the pics of his instruments show that he definitely knew what he was talking about.
Thanks for the encouragement, I have a bunch of them in mind before I stop this foolishness. I look forward to seeing and hearing more of your work.
