Very nice video!

I also watched the video's on your website and have to say they are the best i have found about violinmaking. I love the way you have your own style/ opinion about the building. I think i have chosen the wrong profession...

[BLviolin]

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos . . many thanks!

[Disgrac]

Thanks, this has been very helpful. I'm planning on making my own violin for my first instrument instead of buying mass produced junk.

[BLviolin]

Thats wonderful ...you will enjoying playing it far more having made it yourself !

i don't know why everyone was trying to prove the guy wrong about electric tools. Its probably a belief on a personal level, like people say food taste better when cooked with love. But who knows? There are still violins around from Amati in the 1500s

Beautiful... artistic... spiritual.

what is the song @ the beginning?

@Disgrac hey just read your comment and was wondering if you ever finished your violin?

[Sodabowski]

(damn comment was trimmed!)

I'm most interested in your authentic varnish as my sister has a very old violin which needs some loving care.

Thanks for your wonderful videos and for the good karma :)

[Sodabowski]

I think that many of you guys that commented on what Brian calls "electronic tools", misspelling " electric POWER tools", didn't get his point at ALL: Brian is concerned about the damage caused by the vibrations and chopped cuts of the rotating cutters, nothing more. Electromagnetic waves don't affect wood at all (at the naturally ocurring levels).

On a different matter, I've got a question for you Brian: what proportions of cooked balsam and walnut oil do you use for your varnish? I'm most in

I wish He knew how to craft classical guitars, I'd buy one.

trees are awesome! first they give you oxygen then they give you houses. now... they give us....MUSIC!!!!!!!!! It's hard to imagine my violin being a tree once... it makes me wonder where he use to live and stuff......... TREES AREE AWESOMEE
