Ben, hilarious that I'm today involved in the same process. The only difference is that at my advanced age, I'm fortunate to have a 12" jointer machine for squaring things up. Keep up the fine work!

I've been struck with an idea to build an electric upright bass. I'm trying to replicate the Yamaha SLB300 somewhat. I surched the internet for dimensions or some kind of diagram with measurements. All I can find is the spices for the finger board. I'm using that to scale out the rest of it by inches to feet using pictures on my phone. It's hard work. So far I've managed to make a finger board and the neck. Of course I'm trying to save money by doing this so, that's the whole reason. But I know I can. I just need dimensions. I'm going today to get a big piece of maple to make the real neck. Thanks for your videos. I love the art of hand carving.
Oh wow, how long does it take to carve the headstock? That scroll is amazing! Also, love the cat on the bench, I have a hard time keeping mine off. Two of them taking turns 😸
I'm actually pretty slow at making a scroll compared to many.. It usually takes me around 30 hours. I often say that I never really finish......, I just stop working on it...
I always wondered how and why the scroll shape end up being synonimous to the violin instrument familly ( i know there is some without..). I also also always find the shape quite arbitrary and complex. But when i see it being made , by a quite simple process, i understand better. The work is very impressive, with a 3D organic look edit: The tuning machines are gorgeous
Thanks. I know it's a cliche… However I always think of the expression when I'm looking at a big block of rectangular Maple. "remove everything that doesn't look like a scroll"... And it just reveals itself.
Have you ever made/heard/seen a bass without the traditional scroll? I was wondering what the tone would be like without the additional mass at the end of the neck. Gene in usa
There's a number of people that have made headless instruments and even more ornate scrolls. Helps to pack it away in a case for travelling that's for sure. Definitely the extra mass at the top of the fingerboard helps to balance out the vibration on the neck. Instruments that I have tried, without a headstock have seemed thin in tone. However, a huge part of the optics of the violin family is the Fibonacci, scroll thats for sure. There is also a noticeable change when adding the C extension which needs to be the correct weight. Not too heavy, not too light...
Yes I fit Machine Heads on prior to fitting the neck. I then take them off again to varnish. They are individually made by and designed by Zachary Martin, Rhode Island.
Watch how to set up your bandsaw properly it will make a hell of a difference when it's done. Plenty of video's on TH-cam. What you have there is potentially lethal. Loving the series so far.
I'm surprised to learn that the back of the peg box is closed on bass. I'm more used to seeing peg boxes being open on both ends. Guess I just haven't gotten a good enough look before.
Wonderful video thankyou! Gorgeous florets of maple whilst defining the fluting on the turns. If I may ask, do you remove/mitigate the hollow grind created by the Tormek with hand stones or by adding a secondary bevel? Or is it a mix and match with each tool requiring tweaks to the grinds?
Hi Glen. Glad you like the videos. I nearly always tried to achieve a good hollow grind, particularly with the pairing chisels and my planes. With the Japanese stones I'm just trying to get the fine edge razor sharp.
I’m enjoying everything about this series… the espresso, the tools and shop, the cat and of course your luthier skills. Great video series. Thank you so much!

Nice work Atelier. I built a teardrop double bass and now I'm bowing well enough to keep the neighborhood cats away.
Thanks so much for this...I'm making my first Bass...and I've watched your videos at least 5 times each through the steps in the process.
Great! Any questions or clarifications don't hesitate to message me.
Amazing skills sir, thank you for sharing.
Ben, hilarious that I'm today involved in the same process. The only difference is that at my advanced age, I'm fortunate to have a 12" jointer machine for squaring things up. Keep up the fine work!
Considering that's maple you're carving, you've got some seriously sharp knives.
I feel like I spend one month every year, at the sharpening stones. That's 1 year of sharpening, every 12 years.... Part of the job I suppose.

an absolute pleasure to watch as always ben! gotta come visit you once the lockdown is over :-)

me despertaste eso que se abia dormido, porque hacer lutheria solo por pasion no dinero..gracias
Gracias. Mucha pasión, trabajo duro, genera mucha satisfacción.
@@atelierpuglisi asi es colega la satisfacción intelectual y artistica es el camino.... gracias.
Thanks for sharing your mastery and skillful luthiery. Great Job.
Thank you kindly!
Beautiful work Ben!
Such a great series!
Absolutely stunning artistry. Beautiful tuning machines. Do you remove them to when you varnish?
Yes I fit Machine Heads on prior to fitting the neck. I then take them off again to varnish.
They are individually made by and designed by Zachary Martin, Rhode Island.
Amazing work thanks so much for this - Good to see Ebony was well behaved!
Waiting for the Ebony outtakes!!
Amazing work
Was wondering when You were going to get the Angle Grinder out .
Watch how to set up your bandsaw properly it will make a hell of a difference when it's done. Plenty of video's on TH-cam.
What you have there is potentially lethal. Loving the series so far.
Good advice. Thanks
No entiendo su idioma,pero la pasión con la que transforma unos trozos de madera en un instrumento,sin duda alguna se transmiten 🙏

@@atelierpuglisi I'm sure there must be a LOT more sharpening than we see in this video!!
@@JacqueHarper absolutely! I like to think that for every minute I spend sharpening I save many times that in efficiency and smoother finish.
I’m enjoying everything about this series… the espresso, the tools and shop, the cat and of course your luthier skills. Great video series. Thank you so much!
