I am watching the whole thing in order. I love, and was raised on classical music. Watching this instrument come to life is magical, and the main reason I build (anything). Thank you for posting this.

This is mindblowing. Makes me kind of glad I had to stay home sick today.
I like the fact that there's no narration; it gives you a chance to think your own thoughts and figure things out yourself.

Thanks for the link, I had seen some of this but no the whole set. I will never get into the craft to that degree, but it is fascinating to watch a master at work. Good technigue is very applicable to the CGB and is well demonstrated in your work.

I am learning some things I will try on my viola build (far on down the line). but the craftsmanship in these videos is amazing, how they can hold the wood still to carve in to it like that. Must be some sharp-ass blades!

I found another video that fits right in here, it is much shorter (19 Min) and far less "artsy".

The host Roy Underhill is a bit quirky and the guest isnt real comfortable making his rushed presentation, but this somehow still oddly fills some of the "gaps" in the previous video series.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mark, Roy's show used to air on the local PBS station here. I loved it.
