Literally started work on my own first violin today
Glad to hear that
Hi how was your progress? Was it hard to make it and did you made it by yourself or with some help?
How did it go?
how did it turn out
I am glad that we can actually find most of the tools on Amazon
I just noticed that you only have 3.81K subscribers... I always thought you had 300K subscribers because your videos are of insanely high quality.
I'm planning not to start out with violins but I'm watching this to learn as much as possible to make a Talharpa.
Then I want to make a Vielle if I am successful at making the Talharpa not sound terrible. Planning to use gut strings.... I am partway through carving the mahogany top, and it's not glued together but one piece, so that simplifies a lot of it, being a big rectangle.
Also using hide glue, but the titebond stuff in the tube. Is there any significant advantage to using the more traditional approach on the overall sound?
@@hellomate639 Thanks! We are getting there!
@@hellomate639 The biggest advantage is that if you use hide glue, you can "unglue" it later, but you can't do that with titebond.
I heard there are people using titebond on guitars, but I'd prefer hide glue on acoustic instruments.
@@MekwokStudio Heh, instead of a Talharpa I actually am almost done making a lyre!
It sounds a lot better than I thought it would sound. Classical guitar strings, but not nylon, rather gut and silk wound.
I just have to glue the back on now (it press fits in, but it needs a little trimming and careful adjustment to be glued in the right spot).
Lyre! Sound cool! It actually reminds me of Da Vinci’s silver lyre, would be great to build one.
Great video. I was waiting for it. Thanks!
Thanks. Really needed some time to make this!
Absolutely great info!!! Thanks!!! 🌞🎻
Thanks!!! Hope that it helps!!!
Awesome video, I love how specific you are with your recommendations. You give the tool needed, the purpose of the tool and any alternatives that may work. Very accessable. Thank you
Thanks! The list really bothered me for a long time, so I think it would be good to make this. You know, to help other and also to clear up my mind.
Good to hear your teachings are being used in study groups. A great resource to have.
Oh it is a news for me. Thank you.
You don't know how much your videos are helping me
Tell us about it!
I discovered your channel by luck, and started a couse to learn how to be a luthier. My first intrument is going to be finished in about 2 months, and then they will teach how to make a violin. Im loving this career, carving wood is sooo cool, and i can see myself in 30 years doing that
This is incredible. Thank you so much. You do beautiful work.
Thanks. Glad that you like it.
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Just doing what I can to help!
Fantastic resource!
Glad that it helps!
Great video!! Really useful and detail information!!
Thanks!! Hope it helps!!
I made a Sacconi Compass after seeing it in one of your previous videos. Even though I "only" build guitars, it's so useful! That Stanley vise is definitely going on my shopping list. It'll be super useful!
Yay, the Stanley Vise would be super useful. And glad to hear you've made a Sacconi Compass!
Very well done overview. I like your thinking and approach! Columbus Michigan USA 🇺🇸
Thank you Steven from Columbus Michigan!
this is so cool! thank you!
Glad that you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your delivery is so concise and clear. Your video includes helpful footage. I always dreamed of being able to attend Michael Darnton's summer camp, and I was disappointed to learn it has stopped running.
Thank you. Yes it is sad the camp has stopped running, I miss the people and.. the food there.
Mucho gracias for all of these and their generosity. Especially for people with low incomes.
Glad that it helps!
Muito bom !
Obrigado !
Thank you for the information, 🙂 love it,
Glad that you like it!
love it, I mean.
Excellent instructional video!! So very helpful!! Thank You for this! Liked and Subscribed!
Thank you!
thank you for making this video... .knowing the name of the tool.. to be able to seek it... is nearly as important is knowing what to do with it.... appreciate you taking the time... subscribed. Excellent videos.
Thank you. Glad that it helps!
Thanks
Glad that you enjoy it
Excellent video Batman! Narration, composition and presentation were all on point. As always - time well spent. Thanks for posting. 🎶
Thank you Citizen of Gotham. I’m blushing super hard under the mask. lol
Make sure you've finished watching the Lego Batman before the next video.
@@MekwokStudio 😊
@@MekwokStudio That was brilliant! Thanks
Great video! FYI you can find Japanese style pull-cut saws in the USA. I found some in a local hardware store and they weren't too expensive. Not easy to find, tho, for sure.
That’s good to know!
Sincerly.
Very very useful. I saw a luthier in France sell a set of luthier tools for €1000+, needed exactly that video! Thank you so much for making it, and for including things such as hand creams :)
Did you buy that? Do they include hand creams? Better not use antique ones lol
@@MekwokStudio I didn't haha, don't have that kinda budget, I thought I'd start small and gathering tools as I go :) They definitely didn't include hand creams 😁
I ended up making most of my own tools when I started. I think I'm going to have to add a sacconi compass to that list. I've been using some wide calipers to judge the archings, but I think that looks a lot better
That’s actually a lot of fun. I always wanted to make a cradle. I saw some people make their planes too, that’s what I also want to try.
Dewalt Jigsaw, Plane & Multitool job done
Very helpful, I'm not sure I will build a violin (I'm more interested in building guitars or mandolins) but this is very helpful and informative. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks. Glad that it helps!
@@MekwokStudio Indeed it does! Thanks for taking the time to educate all of us "pluthiers" (player/luthier) and feeding our geeky curiosity.
Ken
@@kenren110 Yeah, pluthiers!
I’ll learn how to make a violin for sure😊
How’s it going now??
This video teach me violin making artisan's invisible effort.
Thanks for noticing.
Top top magnific
Thank you thank you!
Wow man, this channell is gold.
Thanks!
@@MekwokStudio Thank YOU!
wow , This is so much fun and happiness.
Thank you Mark!
@MekwokStudio I like making stuff, but making string instruments is a completely different story , this is a blessing
@@mark4877 I like making stuff too, maybe it is time for you to try making an instrument for yourself!
@@MekwokStudioDoes this count? th-cam.com/users/shorts7U_fKl0cHz8?si=h46e7SenlK8YPsjn

Melee weapons 😂
Thanks for the well made video, very informative.
Thank you!
i have most of these tools, im gonna buy more tools and wood this week and im starting in the weekend
Good! Let’s get started!
Ah yes a portal gun, very inportant to find interdimenstional deals on tools
You think I’m going to use all these tools without a death crystal?
Where can I find the school of violin making . Right now I’m here in HongKong and I want to learn the art of violin making. I will appreciate so much thru your help if you can give me some information regarding on this matter. 😊
Welcome to Hong Kong! You can dm me for more information!
Maybe the answer will be in Part 2 - I'm in Asia and for the most part the tools I can source within reasonable costs and delivery. What I have not yet found is a good source for wood - tonewood, blocks, etc. Yes it is possible to source from some worldwide suppliers but the shipping costs become very significant. Any alternative to this?
Yay, shipping is your biggest enemy beside taxes. There are no alternative If you are looking for European wood, because European wood is.. from Europe. But there are actually some tonewood on Alibaba and TaoBao that are not so bad; I’ve tried some, the maple is generally harder, and spruce is softer, compare to European wood.
gotta be careful using a power drill for the coffee beans that you don't overheat the grinder and cook the beans while you grind them :)
thanks for the pro tip! Not going to make them too warm!
First aid kit should be close anywere 😂.
Thank you for your explainery videos, your very kalm and funny just wat it takes.
Im collecting tools and working towards my first bould.
The nek and vingerboard dimensions were can you find them?
Greetings from the Netherlands (Holland) 🇳🇱
Thanks! Neck and fingerboard dimensions are usually universal!
Where do you get materials such as wood? Maple isn’t something readily available at my lumber yard.
You can check it out here:

Oh man I really wanted to make a violin but I am poor ;0; Do you have any suggestions for making an easier instrument?
Using 3D-printer I guess, we can design many objects so accurate. :)
Im dolt that If you mix egg white with confectioners sugar (icing sugar) and apply it to a splinter the paste will remove the splinter from you skin.
Do you have your address in HongKong . I wish I can pay a visit in your violin shop.
How long are you staying?
I believe every time you go to an electric tool to make something easier or faster. You have a loss that art. Skill set. And then you've lost connection with the wood
Very true, kind of like the different between using pens to draw and using OpenAi.
or , you can get a 3d printer , that's good for making hard parts
Violin making schools are expensive
And you cannot be sure if you can learn the Thing, even if you are there.
I was thinking about making violins, but i was told the only way to make money by making reproductions of expensive violins.
Were you thinking about making violins or making money?
@MekwokStudio a little bit of both. It looks relaxing, making a violin. But that's me.

Thank you for your cooperation
