I don´t understant why some people make DESLIKE.... Did they make a mistake? Do they have envy? Did they wanted to have more FREE information then this? I think the vídeo is excelente. And I think that in the world perhaps 500 people ... or even if they are 5.000 people that can make a work like this ... they all deserve a BIG LIKE!
Amazing skill and beautiful sounds. These instruments truly sing!
Wonderful! I could watch this over and over!
Many thanks for your comment, much appreciated !
The new warnished violin catches the ray of the sun wich take away the signs of the brush used.
Stradivari said it took so long for his warnish to get hard, and there are visible parts of the nature traced in the varnish still today,,,,,,
Thats wonderful ...you will enjoying playing it far more having made it yourself !
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos . . many thanks!
Totally agree about hand tools it adds so much, as well as the extra energy it gives. I'm so sick of looking at luthiers pages and seeing almost everything done with routers and jigs, very boring!
thanks for vids.
Beautiful... artistic... spiritual.
A very inspiring video , thank you.
As I see it, it is a piece of life, then it is death, then it comes back to life when its an instrument.
I think this must be the highest expression of woodworking.

wise! thank you!
I am musician and with a lifetime of experience with my cello I feel that you are right. This is perhaps less a matter of science, more of wisdom - music might be a better language for men to understand natural interrelations.
woops.. sorry that's the one at the beginning, not the one in the middle.
this is so great!!!! 3
what is the wood can i use plywood for making the violin
What is the name of the second piece of music?
Can I hire this man.
It's Vocalise!
the fact is that...even if hand tools were used, theree are radio waves every part in the world...the question is how long will the violin lasts its life time...and the difference between an electronic or hand tool dose not varry greatly afterall...
taking 1 month to make...thats about only 30 days difference...and than the violin is out in civilisation
Vibrations from machinery destroing the cells. Yea right.
In that case you can't play the violine as it would destroy the cells.
dang one tenth of a millimeter!!!!!!
only hand tools...not electronic tools...hm...well it helps to prevent cell damage but thats soo subtle...atfer you make the violin, there it goes round the world...and its being exposed by millions of other "elctronic tools"...the fact that even out in the sun on ground level have a certain "radiation"...like 1 flight in the airplane about 4-8 hours i think equals to one chest X-Ray. Unless your talking in terms of just playing your violin at your homeplace, than your violin may sound its best.

anyways nice violin making vid =)
This guy does wonderful work, but instead of making up excuses for using hand tools only, just say, "I prefer hand tools only because I love the feel of the tool in my hands and the feel of the wood as I introduce to tool to the wood." This business about vibrations is silly.
I love watching you work, but by the gods you need to learn what pacing and timing is in audio/visual media. Your content is usually VERY short, but it feels so tedious and painfully long due to poor timing. I didn't need 1.5 minutes of blurry 1970's forest video with banana yellow comic sans writing appearing slowly over it.
it wos strange watching a violin and a cello hanging.
i didnt like it :(
but the video was very poetic and interesting
Come on man...its ok to use electronic tools. everything and anything has pros and cons...NTH is perfect...and reality is temporal...will not last forever...
sry for harsh critic...but thats the truth i guess... =/
