"A wooden ukulele made of wood." That's some capital writing right there, fella.

I do love watching someone with skills refurbish items. I know nothing about instruments but am curious why no glue on the ends of the internal braces???

My favourite part is <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1085">18:05</a>, when they are showing the guy put black dye on a rag, about to re-stain the fretboard, and then they immediately cut to polishing the body with a different rag, as if he was smearing black dye all over the instrument :D Also, when they talk about "cutting the nut to the correct height", while the video is showing cutting tuning pegs to length.

You have all the right tools, and patience, and skill. Very nice work. My question is why use titebond instead of hot hide glue? Now it can never be opened again

@jonathanmartin3375 5 ай бұрын

Titebond is easily reopened with water.

Those are Aquila Nylgut strings, way more durable than Gut & they hold tune better

It's not the glue's fault it just wasn't stored properly

I have an old Russian icon. Are you interested restoring it? I will mail it to you and you will restore it for free. But you will make a video about your process.

Actually the knife was developed for repair work generally its flexible the correct steel and has a handle that is easy to hold. It’s also useful for butter.

@anthonywilson4873 there's an old saying: everything's a hammer, unless it's a screwdriver, then it's chisel... (or a butter knife🤣)

Just you. You are on the wrong channel if the voice bothers you, especially for such type of video.

@TehConqueror 8 ай бұрын

@@kenshiku not their actual voice, the sentence construction where it's like the "The ball is kicked" vs the more common "they kicked the ball" or "the kicker kicks the ball" just feels weirdly.....impersonal to me
