    When a "REPAIR GUY" is so concerned with His own work quality........you become a Luthier. GREAT REPAIR JERRY. Thanks & Cheers.

    The most ancient form of education: Trial and error, fixing mistakes, IMO.

  • @georgethomas9436
    @georgethomas9436 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A bigger thumbs up. I watched all the videos of the repair and build. You went above and beyond to give the customer basicly a new mandolin. God bless.

    @davidunger7425 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jerry, that was an unbelievable fix, it was just a pleasure to watch how you surmounted the numerous difficulties. Even my wife likes watching your videos, which is unbelievable in itself! You are a master luthier! Thanks for taking the time to create these videos.

    Jerry I watched these two videos in the past and found them again today, just had to watch again. Such an amazing repair. And for a color blind guy you do amazing color matching work.

    @josephcaccavo2763 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've watched several of your videos. I've always hit the thumbs up. They've all been great! This video absolutely blew my mind! You turned a worthless piece of scrap wood into a wonderful instrument! That's one happy mandolin! and I hope one happy customer!!!

  • @amitnewton
    @amitnewton 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am just flabbergasted at the level of skill and work that has gone into that. In fact, my gast has never been so flabbered....absolutely wonderful stuff....whoever owns that Mandolin....you are a very lucky person....peace.

  • @denmorris8384
    @denmorris8384 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another classic video. I don't build or repair anything, but I do play guitar and mandolin. I enjoy Jerry's videos mostly to observe his problem solving skills! I look forward every week to a new video.

  • @BricksAxeMan
    @BricksAxeMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Whatever you gave away in free labor, is more than made up in the entertainment and educational value of this video. Incredible repair! I enjoyed these two videos so much. Thank you!

  • @keninnis1
    @keninnis1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @alinchitown7556
    @alinchitown7556 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jerry your a genius you saved that mandolin for sure. Short of putting a whole new neck and headstock your work is without a doubt above and beyond.

  • @tommckeown6970

  • @melvinliles
    @melvinliles 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @don_sorensen_santa_barbara 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @billsterling6485 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    'll say one thing Jerry...that is one of the finest repairs I have ever seen.. I don't believe theres anyone that would have even wanted to try repairing it .... Yup you knocked it out of the park on this one......That should have scared the Trolls away.......

  • @daviddaniels6473
    @daviddaniels6473 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    13 trolls did give it a thumbs down. Evidently they don't know exceptional work when they see it.

  • @jameswieser483
    @jameswieser483 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amazing repair. Your scarf joint looks like part of the original neck/head stock design. When the owner gets his instrument back he is not going to believe it doesn’t have an entirely new neck on it.

  • @davidsims1329
    @davidsims1329 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Once I see your repair of the Neck I can see my self doing in the future, for not being good at staining, you did great.

  • @tyschmidt7404
    @tyschmidt7404 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I watched this video 3x to learn how to fix a les Paul head stock break. I have fixed them in the past but I want to do as good of a job as you did. I’m so impressed with the technique and will be a TH-cam apprentice of yours for years to come

  • @malcseaman9807
    @malcseaman9807 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Jerry, despite your customary huffing and puffing and deliberating over what to do...you did it again! Absolutely amazing repair!
    Your customer will be absolutely 'over the moon' when you return his instrument. Well, he should be. What a fantastic job you have done.

  • @guitarzana688
    @guitarzana688 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow great job Jerry! That was an amazing blending of wood and finish. As my Dad say if a pie looks good but tastes bad, who wants to eat it. If a pie isn’t pretty but tastes delicious, it will be gone before anyone notices how it looks. If an instrument is pretty but you can’t play it, then it can not fulfill it’s purpose. It becomes static wall art. This mandolin may not be perfect but it looks good and makes beautiful music 🎶. Purpose fulfilled, living art creating joy for the player and listeners.

  • @barlscharkley5411
    @barlscharkley5411 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amazing repair. Almost makes me want to break the neck of my own mandolin, just to see you repair another one. Almost.

    There are some things we do for money. Some we do for love and some we do for the challenge and pride of our profession. I think money was the least of your motivations on this project. I know you couldn’t stay in business if you took on things like this every day but sometimes things like this remind us why we do what we do. I used to take pride knowing that when someone saw my work, they knew who had done it. Great job.

  • @GeorgeWoodenPhoto
    @GeorgeWoodenPhoto 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This was a monumental amount of work for the $500.00 amount mentioned in the part 1 video. That soft part in your heart sure came to the forefront in this video. I sure pray the owner of that instrument has a deep appreciation for all your efforts, and one day in the future he will feel the need to pay it forward to another deserving individual. Bless you Jerry, and have a wonderful Father's Day this weekend.

  • @TheCookofthehouse
    @TheCookofthehouse 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It is an amazing repair. I knew you wouldn't give up and when I saw your drawing I thought you would have to make a complete new arm in the end. Well, ou did an absolutely astonishing repair job. I think you should sign it. I would prefer this mandolin to a brand new Gibson one. You ought to have signed it saying : "Rebuilt to better than mew status by Rosa String Works!"!

  • @eazybluezy
    @eazybluezy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A doctor, with your patience, common sense, attention to detail, and experience, would charge a gazillion dollars for this much reconstructive surgery and you weren't assisted by a staff of trained professionals, the healing properties of the body and Creator, a film crew, or even that third hand. Thanks for sharing your gift.

  • @WillFastie
    @WillFastie 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's lucky you made this video because if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it. Amazing.

  • @dennismason3740
    @dennismason3740 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gorgeous. I love bare wood necks and I sand all of my necks. My guitar buddy in Venice was horrified when I sanded (followed by linseed rubdown) the neck of my new Epi SG. Call me crazy, I like the feeling of wood in my hands and fingers on nylon and metal strings which is why I don't use a pick (which I did for 41 years) so varnish, whatev. Jerry actually used the trussrod right away to correct the underbow so yes, he totally made that call. My favorite part is when he is sculpting the new neck. I was literally in tears (I am a "maker") as the neck morphed into a thing of beauty. I can't wait for part 2 of the Rosa Guitar Build. Much love from the Big Boss Basin (L.A.).

    @FumioFunakoshi 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Well done Jerry...you took on a job that most would have refused and you made it work and work well. When I do a repair, sometimes it's not about the money it's a feeling down deep that says I've got to make this work regardless whether it's a personal challenge or otherwise. Two thumbs way up you deserve it!!! In this world of greed you've proven you have a heart and your customer is very happy because of it.

  • @Darrenmccarthymusica

  • @barrywebber100
    @barrywebber100 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The repair you completed on this instrument was incredible!
    It was amazing and fascinating to see how it all came together.
    I expect your customer was overjoyed with the end result.
    I also loved the view of your beautiful property when you were spraying the instrument outdoors, it looks like a paradise where you are living in the USA Jerry, just uplifting to know what you see is your home. I'm not religious but I can understand why you might call it God's own country.
    Thanks again for posting, I find your work and openness in sharing your skilful artistry very enjoyable and satisfying! With best wishes.

  • @MrBrymstond
    @MrBrymstond 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I say the same thing, don't look at something for what you see, close your eyes and imagine that in mint condition. Some people can't see that due to the lack of ability or never dedicating themselves to being a tradesmen, it's a major form of art and many people underestimate their abilities. We are incredible creators if we only allow and believe in ourselves, but it takes time to learn certain techniques, critical thought exercises our brain, it allows us to become snappy and the answers of complicated issues flow from our mouths. Everyone ask me what my favorite go to tool is, common sense.

  • @stephenpaquet
    @stephenpaquet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well I think I understand your whole lot better now after watching this. It seems no matter the budget you just refuse to put out a substandard product even if the budget doesn’t allow for a proper high and repair. You always seem to give as close to perfect as humanly possible regardless of the budget. That makes you one of the nicest people I’ve seen pretty much anywhere thanks for being you and keep up the great work bravo!

  • @MrFiddlemaker
    @MrFiddlemaker 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Jerry, I bet it sounds a lot better than it did before the headstock broke off, with the huge amount of neck wood that was routed out by the factory, compared to the way more mass and solid wood you created to rebuild it. It's a shame the owner didn't give you a recording of it before it broke. Great job, and thanks for the video. Bob Kogut

  • @bncrushr1

  • @rayvoorhies7180
    @rayvoorhies7180 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Jerry makes carving with a file and Dremel tool look so easy. I know it's actually very difficult for less experienced men to replicate that curved neck by eye. It's so easy to get it wrong. Great job Jerry.
