Thanks, this was very helpful and interesting. How do you turn a technical drawing of an instrument into a mould in the first place? You mentioned there was some kind of livestream that preceded this video - is that available somewhere to view?
You're very welcome, James! There are a few different ways to go about the making of a mould, and each has its own set of steps for getting from drawings to reality. I should do a quick video explaining some of it for the TH-cam audience-- thanks for this reminder of an interesting and important topic! I had livestreamed a fair number of times on my personal Facebook profile, where the streams should be publicly viewable still. Some were cut into a bunch of fragments by spotty internet, some are in once piece. Let me know if this helps!
@@benjaminkratchmer8124 Thanks Benjamin, I'll go and dig out those facebook videos. I for one would certainly be interested in what you have to say about making moulds. I have made one already following David van Edwards' instructions but am currently try to figure out making one of my own for a different instrument. I've been enjoying your videos on other aspects of the building process too. Very helpful! How is the instrument you're building here coming along?
James, I'm currently figuring out how I'm going to make a form for a baroque guitar, and that will include some similar techniques and considerations. I'll see if I can put together a video about it! Otherwise I am also working on setting up my shop to do live sessions, specifically to show certain processes and allow for Q&A sessions. Once I'm set up for that I think there are several of us who would enjoy a scheduled chat about form-making. I'll keep you posted!
Very useful information. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
