    Wow! A practical life philosophy demonstrated before our eyes, ears and thoughts. Thanks

    I just wanted to tell you thank you for sharing your process on how you make your instruments. Your process makes so much more sense to me then simply following a set thickness map because every piece of wood has its own unique voice. I've been teaching myself woodworking and I just started learning to play. So I thought I would make myself a better instrument while I'm learning on my violin shaped object. Again, thank you for making your video series. It is by far one of the most informative videos I've watched. I wish you well, and look forward to watching more videos from you and learning from your experience and knowledge.

    Thank you for sharing. I look forward to making my own violin some day, and I hope to do so using the knowledge you (and many others) have been so kind as to make available. Very much appreciated.

    Thank you for continuing to update us and share your method! I personally haven't got the best hearing so I use the method more when tapping as it's louder than scratching / rubbing. I find it's good for thicknessing for me. (I'm very much a beginner, only working on my 3rd instrument so far)
    I too wondered why one would make the hole all the way through the back, when one might instead pinch the plate at the point, but you've showed the problem there.
    Big fan!

    Thank you really very much for sharing all this knowledge and it is obvious that you love and you are passionate about your work! It would be nice if you would make a video also about tunning the mold as well because it looks necessary now! Thank you very much again!

    I THINK YOUR METHOD IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE METHODS USED IN CREMONA DURING 1566 APPROX. I REFER TO AMATICE CONSTRUCTION. YOU AND I ARE SCANDINAVIAN SO OUR METHODS MAY GO BACK TO SHIP BUILDING. THANK YOU.

    Loving your method Peter! the hole in the center making a speaker makes things so much easier. I have always wondered why makers bored a similar hole in the ends. The common explanation I have heard is to hold their works in place on the work bench. I have always wondered at this. Could there be any possible connection with the thicknessing process?

      By holding the plate with a spike, the scratching becomes more clearer, when listening for the inner arch = thickness of the plate.

    Hello Master Westerlund! Please could you tell me precisely the amount of nitrite and potash you put into the quantity of water ? Thank you so much for your unique method and this precious legacy. God bless you.

      I just take half and half of them. The water evaporates anyway so I don´t see any point in being exact there.

    Do you think your method would work on cello and bass?
    Would the important partials be hard to hear?

      Of course! I have made a lot of cellos, using this method and it works great.
