Commercial resin has already had it turpentine removed from it .

Did you make the plates a bit thicker since the redwood is so soft?

You should use a pressure cooker pot and refrigerant copper pipe coil that brand new for the condenser that spirals down through a plastic pail ...sealed at the bottom by silicone.

What a lovely lady.

we can use that saucer still to make distilled water, or desalinate water I guess

will the wooly method work with any other fiber (cotton cloth or vegetable fibers)

An old pressure cooker works well.

Well done!

This was amazing to see. Thank you.

Very cool! I knew Ginger when she was a teen. I was there from 66 - 68. Knew Grace and Larry well.

I loved this video! Best fails ever, elegantly executed. 😊 I did learn a lot, though, so thank you very much!

Ahh it needs sheep gut wound strings, and then it will be totally make your day luv. Honestly I do think you are very good and a nice man. And a lovely community for this hard to make instrument. The purfling is not correctly sribed at the bee stings. That's a really horrible thing to cut into but I wish you'd have had me there, I am very good at those. Getting a great angle to forwardly get to that angle of sweepage in a tiny joint is why you need me! Aww lol well with added 😂❤ swearing ❤😂❤😂

How do you cut those ribs? Ta luv. I like your mould. I like redwood edge blocks and just am not happy as I can make violins, but I can't as I am totally fed up with not knowing what I keep asking everyone. Nobody spills the beans. Really mad to have to buy them pre cut things with crap maple which is rough as a bears arse and totally unbendable and too short in height too. ❤

Hello how do I cut these ribs from a block of wood? Thanks luv ❤

Hela lota work

You are the best! Your one liners has me truly laughing out loud 😂❤❤

5:25 you got a laugh out of me with that awesome dad joke. I was not expecting that haha.

Subscribed! This is totally my speed. I love learning from experimental people (like myself), & renaissance men like yourself. Anyway it's kind of wonderful how the simplest of methods was the most effective in the end.

thanks alot

Interesting approach to a rub joint. I have been doing rub joints for years without failure, but you make a good case for three coats. I will give it a try. Thanks for the great video.

Put some ice water in the glass lid

🤣still making stills that dont work. Well thank you for failing so we dont have to

Some basic research on stills would have saved you a lot of time.

Hello!!! I don't know if this channel is active still but I wanted to ask if you had experience with or know if it is possible to make varnish out of other precious resins. Specifically I am interested in doing frankincense, myrrrh, or a combination of the two! I know that it must be possible but the one book that contains a myrrh recipe is from the 30's and I can only find one copy in German, haha. I tried to send you an email to ask but it looks like that mailbox has been closed down. Regardless, I love your content and it's so cool the information you are sharing with folks! What a beautiful and historical hobby!

Looked like he was expecting to receive a roll of 100 ft

Can you do one made from horse hoof or other animal hoof?

No comments really just came to see your video. I'm just learning myself.😁

Thank you, God bless you!

Such gorgeous work

My dear friend, why not use the modern glass chemistry bits to assemble a still? There's no contamination from the copper that way and you don't loose anything. I think the Liebig condenser is the easiest, you just need to get a pump for a fish tank or such to pump water through the outside (to keep it cool) and then I think you'll need the flask and the angle fitting.

Super helpful!

So sad the volume is so low I could not hear the OP.

I love what you do. Can you put up the volume please.

❤❤❤

Very resourseful! Your varnish looks really good. Hope she will dry nice and hard for you. Just a suggestion you might try amber. Yes it is very expensive but may yield superior hardness. Ive never tryed disolving amber in acetone. Wonder if that might work? Whatever you do dont boil turpentine it will explode!. Its easyier to just get artist grade turpentine and use that. I have used clear fingernail polish full strength and used it to varnish my carved bridge. It works suprisingly well. I have been using it for 3 months and it resists being cut into by the strings. Im pretty satisfyed with clear nail polish as a varnish for violin bridges. I suppose one could varnish an entire violin with nail polish but you would need really good ventilatiom. Hope this helps. Your redwood violin sounds wonderful I remember when you had the lady play it! Bye for now.

The Teapot is the most effective IMO but lacks only One section about 6" back from the pipe exit that slides through two holes in a metal bucket that is then filled with cold water and/or ice so that condensation happens more quickly. Great vid nonetheless¬!

You have to cool it. With ice.

the turps has dissolved the lanolin in the sheeps wool hence the brown colour

Excellent glue vid. Never knew of the rub joint.

Most of the turpins have evaporated from the rosin you are using. Using fresh gum rosin would be much more productive. th-cam.com/video/QzNxPY3ewas/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4OHrY8wCQEWOaq0r

Commercial resin already has the turpentine removed as it's a by product of that process. Dry resin has virtually no water content to carry the turps hence why you get not much activity from that. Add distilled water to drier sap and it will hugely increase your yield. Also extracting to a gravy separator jug allows the water to be poured off the turps once settled. Ideally using runny resin fresh from a pine is what is best. Search commercial turpentine production videos from the USA and it shows the process better. Nothing like pottering away in the shed tho! Loving the experimentation :)

There are archive videos from 19c. You can't distil what isn't there in dried old crud. Right tree, right time, right country, right method. All the details are available including temperatures. It was a hard job for poor workers. Go find out.

Ah thanks for showing what to do with my bag of walnuts!!!!!

Redwood make a great classical guitar.

Can't understand a thing you're saying wearing that mask

This is super cool, thank you for sharing!

Where did you get those c clamps you are using for the upper and lower blocks in 3:06 of your video? They look similar to batwing clamps. Thanks.

Always fascinating to see what you are doing. I have been doing rub joins for years and never had one fail, but I only apply the glue one time. I will give this method you are using a go just to try it out. Thanks for the great viseos.
