You're getting there, Olaf. By the end of the year, I think we will be seeing a silver play button. Congrats, man.
This is truly one of the most elaborated and genuine way of making coffee. It really fits a luthier and has to be prepared in the workshop of course, like every potion in a magician‘s or witcher‘s kitchen. A bit of creme, sugar, skin glue… 😅 loving the creative use of the hand blender too, it almost looks like a wand. You are an interesting and amazing man with a great profession! Thank you, Olaf! ♥️👍
I watch your videos when I drink my morning coffee, and it's truly my favorite part of the day. The love you bring to your work is so inspiring and I'm incredibly grateful you're willing to share your artful expertise!
i’m not even a musician but i love watching your vids! your passion is admirable
This is one of my favorite and most peaceful times of my week! I love your videos-they give me a chance to slow down and enjoy a different aspect of violin-repair! 😊 Thank you for posting these types of videos!
Super excited to see your current project completed. And excited to see your next project with that new timber!
It's so strange. I'm watching this video while waiting for some work to finish, trying to sort out what all I need to do today. And, then you mention taking advantage of the nice day with a walk. "Oh, yeah," I thought. "I ought to do that." It's a nice day and I got so caught up with all the cogs of productivity that I nearly forgot about it. So, thank you for that.
💙 😳 That was quite the walk from your place to Yesterdays. 🙉
Love these videos so much!
Video with papa! 🎉
You keep teasing us when you're doing a quick test play of the violins with strains of Waltzing Matilda, but then just veering away from it. Lovely work as always, Olaf.
Thank you much I can't wait for the practice video I could use some help on different ways to practice
So glad you opened the video with footage of much-needed coffee :)
Always enjoy your work. Watching from Austin, here. 21° is shorts and t-shirt weather. I don’t even consider long sleeves until it’s 15°. I believe our summer temps are a lot like yours. High today is about 37° without the heat index, and summer only just started. It’ll easily get to 43° mid-August.
4:29/4:30 - 21 degrees Celsius. Yes, I certainly felt it with my early-onset arthritis!
I remember being a child... perhaps 10 or 11 years old... and when I went over to Canada for a 6-month-period for Dad's work: in my first week I was wearing a shirt, and a long-sleeved over-shirt, then a woollen jumper, and then a large leather jacket over the top of all that... and then when I looked over at my neighbours, they were happily watering their front lawn with a hose wearing just a linen vest!!!
My goodness, we're all different!
On the other side of the world - my friends in the Middle East are battling 55 - 59 degrees CELSIUS in the summer. On average.
I managed to find a proper Luthier's carving knife!
Oh I like those videos ! Great job ❤
Awe man I wish our winters were in the 70s that's shorts and tee shirt weather lol I'm in Western New York and it routinely gets into the negatives digits during winter plus we get however many feet of lake effect snow.
Am looking forward to my appointment with you on 15th August to see if upgrading my violin helps improve my playing and enjoyment of my music. Have been following your channel for some time and find it fascinating.
OMG! I laughed out loud at your attempt to sound Italian! Thanks so much for making your posts not only interesting but fun, too!
Olaf, I urge you to make that video with your did before it's too late. Whether you published it or not doesn't matter. I so wish I had a video record of my family, but don't.
28:50 lol
And yes, do a video with your dad! We would love to see him.
We get MINUS 35 Celsius in winter over here 😂
We get 50 below F here. Don't know what that would be in Celsius but probably close.
@@christopherw4527 minus 46 Celsius 🥶
Thanks for sharing, Olaf. Do you think that violins not made in Italy get enough appreciation? You seem to work on quite a few old German violins. Are they as good as old Italian ones?
I think Stradivarius used high quality carriage varnish. Strong and glossy.
how long do you let the wood dry before making your violins?
A Derhazy!!
‘Dissonance post’ hahaha
I use LivRelief for my back.
Olaf, if you see this, I have a question maybe you could address in your video about practice. I aim for 30 minutes to an hour daily. If my practice is not going well, memory slips, bad intonation, should I stop? Or is it better to push through? Thanks!
4:49 - Hi Olaf, just wondering - are these your own violins that you're working on? Made elsewhere, but you you're doing some minor adjustments on them? Thanks, Liam, WA.
would you lower the nut on a dobro or lap steel guitar? asking for a friend...
Love this channel...
I would like to show you a picture of a 3/4 Violin and is it a strad?
I fix back Dr. k here bring hammer and saw
I'd like very much for you to do a video interview or call with your Dad.
Do body weight squats as many as you can at least once a day
Oh man, that Aeropress needs a good cleaning!
Haha... I think I need a new one...
They're not meant to last 5 years
If you want to just get rid of your violin send it to me in Canada. 😃😃😃❤️❤️🇨🇦
You put butter in your coffee?
It's so called "bulletproof coffee". Makes it taste a bit smoother and gives it lots of energy. That's good if you have a very strenuous day ahead or need an energy kick to wake up, not very healthy if you plan to just sit and watch RUclips (it'll go straight onto your hips). There are quite a few interesting recipes you can do with coffee - I myself like to add honey instead of sugar and on rare occasions I go crazy and use spices (like cinnamon, cardamom, or anise).
@@KonradTheWizzard i never heard of it i do like vietnanese coffee with condensed milk
@@maxheadroom1506 No sugar in the bullet proof coffee. Keto stuff.
I saw that butter and I thought "Yuck!" - no thanks!
And Max, for 50 years we have opened up a can of condensed milk when we ran out of regular milk for our coffee - but have never heard it called "Vietnamese". LOL
@@Arnd2it We have done the same with condensed milk. Not anymore though. Too expensive. Vietnamese coffee is really bitter. I think they use Robusto beans.
:)
