Some things would take ages. If road workers would work with this patience it would take an eternity. Some jobs need fast, rough work. So i dont think the world would be a better place.
Sytse Notenboom while I agree with the whole point the road example isn’t really a great one if you look at Germany they have great raids that last a long time because they put more care and consideration into it. I suppose in a bigger country it might not be super time effective but I’m not to sure

@@BestKiteboardingOfficial I noticed that as soon as he started drilling but I immediately assumed the guy knew what he was doing and never thought for a second to make a comment, rude or otherwise, about it.
Dude, This video is perfect. You immediately got to the actual content without a ridiculous intro, Showed the process of your work without un-necessary dialogue or distracting music. You seem like a true craftsman with a passion for your work. Please make more of these videos.
No you really don't. So many people think they can watch a video and then suddenly they know luthiery.. A real luthier apprenticed under a master for YEARS... This guitar was NOT a candidate for a neck reset. A seasoned luthier would have known that and at least suggested the way less invasive AND less expensive way to correct that geometry.
I've been doing guitar work and consulting for 40 years. I'd drop my guitar off to this man "any day of the week" without a question. I'd just say what kind of frets I wanted and what action height I like. This man has deep understanding, and the ability to deliver top notch work. Great, to-the-point video, too.
Hi Lars, what a fascinating video. Some 15 years ago I sent my 1919 Martin 0-45 out to TJ Thompson for what was to be over a years worth of restoration. I had purchased it from The Mandolin Bros in 1973 and because of issues I couldn't have known about and the dry heat of New York City the poor thing was on death's door. I had no idea how much work, time, skill, inspiration, frustration and love went into TJ's work. Because of your video, I understand so much more and will appreciate my fortune every time I play.
Yeah I wasn't intending on watching this entire video but when I started I couldn't stop, so fascinating and peaceful to watch. Strangely therapeutic. Please make more videos - you have 12k subscribers!
@dhdoctors have you come across crimson guitars yet. You also get to watch another master of his craft making guitars. Yes that's right, not repairing but making guitars so you also get to see another side of the coin.
What I like about this video, is the honesty. Lars is obviously a very knowledgeable luthier, and very much in control of the repair process. He doesn't make up a lot of drama, or belly ache about how difficult the repair is going to be, he just fixed the guitar, and did it very competently. It was a pleasure watching him work.
The detail put into this work is the definition of "craftsman". Loved seeing all of the special tools and techniques that are unique to stringed instrument repair. Please make more videos!
It gave me such comfort and joy to see the loving perfection you put into this instrument. I know you will be able to hear the resonance of your contribution in the music it makes.
This just makes me appreciate instruments and workshop workers even more. This is amazing how you take something that is old and has been played so much and have turned the clock back and made it brand new. Thanks for your hard work. That guitar has a new life because of you.
Such artistry, precision, patience, and skill. I've been playing guitar my whole life and I'm not kidding, your video made me tear up a little. You're amazing! I hope you have someone to pass this treasure of knowledge to. Also, a couple of your jigs were absolute genius. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
OH MY GOD, LARS YOU ARE A FREAK!!! A TOTAL FREAK and I mean that with the utmost of sincerity and compliment!! I could barely watch 5 minutes without my blood pressure freaking out, my heart going back and forth from my throat to my stomach!!! You are my hero now!! You’ve got huge cojones and skills I can’t even fathom. And nerves of……….no word for it. Where in the heck did you learn how to handle a Martin like that? You must have come direct from Nazareth!! That was the most impressive work I’ve ever seen on anything! Please tell me I can send my Martins to YOU when I need some work one to them. YOU ARE AWESOME!
Lars, if you're reading this I just wanted to tell you as a guitarist that I learned so much about restoration and repair from watching this video and the Fender Jazzmaster repair video. It's fascinating to me how much specialised knowledge, techniques, and equipment you need to know how to use effectively. Some of the techniques you use here I had never seen before. Thank you and please make more videos like this; it's great to see a luthier who is a true craftsman at work.
This is THE 1st restore video I've ever seen where the gentle man clearly knows his craft inside out. Plus he plays guitar & well!! I'm stunned. I have a famous Martin I'll be bringing you to restore, with my up most confidence. Great video. Ty SIR. Amazing.
funoverdone /forgive my opinion that I disagree that it was well shot. Yes it has a nice look but the quick edits do not promote a great learning video. There is not enough time while the picture is jumping around to see What the luthier is doing. The overall look of the film is exceptional as a short subject presented at a film festival but as a learning tool I feel the camera work detracted from its effectiveness. Just saying and addressing your comment thank you
@@nakedhombre Hello! you should read the whole description. but I can repeat It here !CAUTION!: This video is not ment as a "how-to" instruction. Many elements and steps of the restoration has been left out and this video does not give a complete representation of what goes in to this kind of work. if you need similar work done I would strongly advice you to take it to an experienced professional and certainly not use this video as a "how-to" guide
Lars Dalin / Thank you. I did miss the admonition. I watched the entire video and enjoyed it immensely and I did realize that to have filmed this with the eye of a step-by-step procedure would have taken an in ordinate amount of time that could not have been accomplished with one video. I have a background in commercial film making industry and was acquainted with the editing techniques of Music videos and expensive car commercials in which the action is fast and furious and is only matched by the quick cuts. Thank you for your response I still feel that there could’ve been some slightly longer panning shots of what you were doing. I have a 1974 Martin D 35 that I purchased new in Chicago. It came with a lifetime warranty. 27 years later when I was convalescing from a leg injury, I sent my guitar to a luthier Who was an authorized Martin repair agent. Much of the work was covered under warranty plus I paid for a few elective repairs. (Fret wire replacement and som body damage) but other original work was guaranteed by the manufacturer such as neck adjustment, ribbing adhesion, internal loose bracing, and a curled up pick guard, (notorious for that model-year). I am curious if the D 28 model, 1974 also had a lifetime guarantee? Some of that work may have been covered by Martin under their original sales agreement.Thank you again for the video your work, as others have noted is nothing short of amazing!
Lars you are a true artist and genius in the work and execution you perform. I had so many Martin's over the last 58 years I've played and only wish I knew you to work on the one's I'd owned. Keep up your incredible work. You truly are a "Master Craftsman".
Dude, your level of craftsmanship is nuts. I didn’t realize that so much went into maintaining the integrity of these instruments. I’d be honored to have you restore my guitar, if I owned one.
This was a most engaging and entertaining video. I loved the professionalism displayed in the restoration, what a fantastic job you did! Being a woodworker of no small skill myself, and also being the owner of a 1974 Martin HD 28, this video really hit home. Thanks for sharing this.
this is what I imagine a master craftsman to be like. Paying attention to every detail, taking their time to get things just right and perfect. Every step is a work of art more than a repair. That's the difference.
Careful, beautiful, meticulous work man. Would feel 100% safe letting you work on any instrument I had that needed some TLC. Keep these videos coming brother.
Your two videos (this one and the 60s Jazz Master one) are awesome! I know you uploaded this over a year ago, but I just wanted to let you know how much I dug it. I really hope you decide to start making many more videos like this one.
Fantastic job… your precision is incredible to watch… you are a true artist… great to see people enjoying the work that they do… and working with their hands 🙌… especially when they provide music 🎶… to people!!!
That trick with adding the soder on the fret when warming it up is pretty neat. When you are working on electronics with soldering its a given that when you have a blob of soder on your iron and you can quickly remove something whereas when you are only touching on one point with the iron not so much at all for bigger stuff.
True devoation to his job, respect for the materials and love to the instrument. This is a perfect job! True craftsmenship and none of this bully quick and dirty jobs that are seen so often on you tube. My true respect for your work and additute.
Excellent job! Attention was paid to the right details to prevent any accidental damage, and get it exactly straight and tightly fitting. I was surprised to hear that there was no truss rod in this 74 guitar. I just read that Martin Guitars waited until 1985 to install truss rods, 30 years after Gibson started using them. I learned alot from your video, thank you!
That was so beautiful. Most of what you described as you worked went straight over my head, but there was no mistaking the depth of artistic and technical knowledge, careful work that you are able to display. Thank you for all that. Guitar sounded wonderful as a result
😄yeah but seriously... I'm still curious what the customer has to SAY about it because that's what Lars promised us, sort of. 😏Nice restoration job anyway!
I had a 1976 model, it was my best friend for twenty years... Had to sell her when I got ill...I sobbed for days...I wrote so many important songs on that guitar ... Very sad, but nothing lasts forever. .
I'm sure that this guy brings flowers to his girlfriend everyday but i just can't prove it. Lol. Amazing job man i feel so relieved watching your neat work! Please keep it up!
Me in the beginning of the video: "This kid will ruin this nice vintage guitar..." In the middle of the video until the end: "This guy is a f&% genius!" Perfect job!
Amazing video, superb work! So nice to see a luthier video which is professional and doesn't say anything stupid and incorrect. Keep up the great work!

That trick with adding the soder on the fret when warming it up is pretty neat. When you are working on electronics with soldering its a given that when you have a blob of soder on your iron and you can quickly remove something whereas when you are only touching on one point with the iron not so much at all for bigger stuff.
You, sir, are an artist.
True devoation to his job, respect for the materials and love to the instrument. This is a perfect job! True craftsmenship and none of this bully quick and dirty jobs that are seen so often on you tube. My true respect for your work and additute.
