Wow, it took me ages trying to get both sides flat/square. Then after gluing, I clamped it and it still looked odd 🙄 You have restored my faith in violin making. Thank you 🙌🏻
@@donmacquarrie9161 With hide glue it just doesn't need it if you've made a good joint, so no need. It's the only glue you can do that with to my knowledge, most just create ghastly gappy joints if left unclamped.
Hello Graham, just discovered your channel and certainly enjoy your content. I am a newbie guitar builder and love learning from seasoned builders such as you. Your video and audio are coming through just fine. Sure you can jazz them both up better gear, camera angle, and loads more editing! but to what end? Your teaching is great already. Cheers from Florida.
Thanks for the very kind comments. I'd love more polished videos, but I realise I don't want to invest masses of time in editing so I'm sticking with the current approach for the foreseeable! Have a jolly good 2024!
This is the hardest job for me so far. I’m still learning violin making and I have wasted so many sets planning too much wood off causing the wood to not be wide enough!
Sounds expensive! Is it worth practicing on cheap boards (old floorboards, shelves - anything) until you know you can do this type of joint easily and then move to the valuable bits? Check the plane's base is flat, get it nice and sharp. Good luck with it, with experience you'll find it gets a lot easier!
I know, hard to believe! Yes, rub joints in hide glue work like that. It does have to be a very good fit, it won't work miracles, but a good joint is that easy and no clamps required. I don't own any sash cramps for this very reason.
The workshop was very cold, even my breath appears to be steam in the video! The glue is in a water bath, the water in the water bath has to be hotter. But, yes, about that temperature for the glue, but I never use a thermometer, life is too short!

I do the same as you, regards Alexander

Glad to have helped! Tricks of the trade!!
I was going to ask why it wasn't clamped? is it a "sound" thing? @@grahamvincentviolins

Brilliant, no clamps, I like the glue already!
wow nice plane! perfect for that job.....looks expensive....
They're going up in price! Still at a price where you can consider buying one as a tool rather than a collectors piece.
good afternoon, make a video on how to paint and varnish a violin, I’m from Belarus
No clamping necessary? Will the joint be tight enough?
I know, hard to believe! Yes, rub joints in hide glue work like that. It does have to be a very good fit, it won't work miracles, but a good joint is that easy and no clamps required. I don't own any sash cramps for this very reason.
any issue with keeping the grain parallel with each half with this method?
You may choose to plane the edge of each first so the grain is parallel to the edge if needed. Then revert to this method. Shouldn't add much time.

Your glue is too hot. It should be 64 C. Not steaming.
