To my mind watching someone with your level of expertise build what will clearly already become a beautiful acoustic instrument is so much more interesting than watching the building of an electric guitar. Thank you so much for explaining your process so well. Can’t wait to hear it.

Gracie Flavio! As we all know, mistakes come with the territory… I reckon we can’t get good without making them, as long as we learn from them, right?

you are very skilled and knowledgeable, its a pleasure watching you work Kudos to all of you that build acoustic guitars, it such a demanding skill. There should be another category for acoustics, as you are all in a league of your own.

Thanks a lot! - not a bad idea to have 2 categories, as we are otherwise comparing apples and oranges, but there are always the difficult cases that don't fall exactly into either camp (like semi-acoustics and so on...)

What I find interesting is to see you deal with the issues. In carpentry... it's about dealing with the things that naturally reveal themselves. It takes nerves of steel sometimes.

Hi Chris, great and beautiful as always. Considering the hum: Some microphones have a low cut filter build in, that can be activated or your camera might have one in the audio settings. That would cut off the low noise. You could also cut it of in post, before you accelerate the footage, but that's a little bit tricky (it depends on your editing software).

Hey, good advice, thanks a lot! Will look at both of these solutions.

Yes, I was going to suggest your editing software. If you can’t resolve it at source, it might have a parametric EQ you should be able to cut that frequency.

Absolutely wonderful to watch. I’m really enjoying seeing how you work, the way you explain your processes and your strive for perfection at every stroke. I can’t believe someone’s given this a thumbs down? I would hope it’s an accidental click. Maybe they don’t like hum.

I learned a lot from this video, thanks! Could you give us a run-down on those little planes as saws you use to shape and cut the bracing?
@GarlandStringedInstruments

Sure: the bronze plane is a Lie Nielsen Violin Maker's Plane (LN101 - love this, I use it all the time), the one with ebony sides is home-made (see my first video from 2014) and the other wooden ones are from a guy in the US whose name I can't remember, I'm afraid. Don't know if he still makes them, but they wouldn't be hard to make if you can find or fashion a suitable blade. The cool thing about these is that the sides taper inwards towards the sole, so the blade is very close to the side. I used this trick on my DIY one too. The straight-bladed saw is just a cheap razor saw, and the curved-bladed one is a veneer saw. This last is particularly useful, as you can 'focus' the cut on the brace and not damage the wood it's glued onto. Hope this helps.
