Muchisimas gracias y muchas gracias por el comentario!

Thank you very much!! Glad you like it :)

Yep, it's alway a bit stressful, you can't lose focus not even for a slight second!

@@LucasFabro True.. A lot can change very fast. I've had a few close calls here and there with just the few instruments I've made so far... I'm not sure if that ever stops

Oh, those are excellent questions. For one of them, you'll have to wait till the next video to see ;) And the reason why the neck is not varnished is because in that area the hand needs to slide easily, and the varnish would stop that. Also, if it were to be varnished, with the constant tocuh of the hand it'd get unvarnished farily quickly!

Yay!! I'm glad you noticed it, you were clearly paying attention! Good eye ;)

⁠@@LucasFabro Sir, kindly give me idea of the right saddle height, how high in mm. My violin saddle has difference height at each end ; 3 to 3.5 mm, measured from the top plate to top of the saddle at each end.

Hahaha, I'm happy to make a big spoiler and say that the violin is already with it's new owner!

Thanks for the comment, despite the very rude and aggressive tone. At this point there is no bridge, the nut is not made, and the saddle still has to be properly finished. Measuring the projection of the fingerboard at the position of the bridge on the top (which is incredibly important) will allow me to know that with that measurement, combined with the saddle hight and nut shape that I'll usually do, then I'll get the desired angle at the bridge. It will also ensure me that I'll not end up with a bridge that once shape doesn't have enough (or too little) distance from the heart to the curve of the bridge. All these things you're mentioning, for me, belong to the set up step and not the neck joint one. And even in this case, I'm not sure I filmed that. Keep in mind that these videos are not educational or anything like that. I'm not telling people what to do or to follow my steps! I'm only trying to show a little bit more the insights about the profession and about how an instrument is made, so that musicians, enthusiasts, or whoever can discover and enjoy seeing more about it. By doing that, of course a lot of things are left out too! Please don't think that there are no more things going on behind the scenes that are not shown in the video, it'd be incredibly naif to think that. Just by the fact that this neck joint video is only 10 minutes long you should know that, as that's probably the time that it takes to prepare the working space in real life. Filming something like what you mentioned would imply making a lot of takes of me measuring things, working on the pice for a little bit, measuring again and so on. Not only it'd be something quite boring to watch, but if not, it's also incredibly hard finding ways to position the camera in a way that I can show details and work comfortably! For this I'd need more time to position the camera, to make sure the takes are good, and a lot more for editing as well! And once again, it's only me doing this! It's me filming, it's me editing, it's me uploading the videos, it's me replying to the comments, etc.. This is just a "hobby" and something I enjoy doing for the reasons I mentioned before, but it's by no means my profession (because I don't make money from this), so I just do what I can (and want!). If you don't believe the effort and hard work that it requires to do all those things, I'd suggest you giving it a try to find out. Unfortunately time is not a luxury I possess (I'm replying to your message at 2am!), and I try to make these videos on my "free" time, but between work and commissions that's not a lot. That's the same reason why I haven't been uploading for a while, nor replying to comments (this one however, due to the tone, lead me to make an exception on my end). Nevertheless, and once again, please don't expect to see everything in a 10-minute video because as it'll obviously not happen. And if you have any more comments please make them respectfully, you could have simply asked if I didn't check those things or why I didn't instead of assuming I didn't and accusing me of it. As I said, this is my hobby and something I enjoy doing, so for that reason, I'm not really interested in replying to aggressive messages in the future as I have neither the time nor the energy for it. Thanks again for your comment though, and I hope my answer helps clarify some of your doubts and complaints.

There is nothing rude whatsoever or aggressive . Your demonstration seems to magically link the fingerborad height and / or the projection of the fingerboard up to the bridge as the 'correct' means of measuring the final neck angle . No mention was made of the relationship of the two fixed points, the saddle and the nut nor their geometrical place with the body . The angle of the neck/ fingerboard is secondary to the position of the nut and saddle and the accepted modern break angle at the bridge of 158 * (or 22 break) .So the bridge height must be arrived at with a 158 degree angle break with the nut and saddle alligned ,in side elevation. with the rib/ body glue joint .This will give a proper load distribution both at the neck joint with the body and the downward force of the bridge feet . Make up a simple flat angle finder to touch the nut bridge and saddle of 158 degrees . This makes the job so easy . (taught by David Rubio) Your way is a pure guess at the angle .

@@jonviol yes rude, and agressive.Keep scrolling...This clearly isn't his first instrument and the video isn't a complete how-to guide...there isn't even any speaking. Troll.

@@jasonnchinchen How dare you ! I watch to learn -to see how its done -I saw nothing here , Truth .
