Thank you! 😊

No, Ash doesn't wear clothes. He's a nudist cat. 😉

Thank you! 😊

It's good to be back! 😊

Thank you! It's good to be back! ❤🐈

Yes-ish. 😉 I started with a transparent varnish, but pink is a very delicate color that easily turns into purple or red or lilac and a multitude of other shades depending on the light, and that is amplified by the color and chatoyance of the wood below, so I intentionally made it translucent so I could control it and make sure it stayed 'pink' under most lighting conditions. Modern chemistry can give us pretty much any color of transparent varnish we want on guitars, but I didn't find anything I could use in a traditional violin varnish recipe.

You can have fun regardless of age! 😁

He's still pretty good after all this time! 👍

Modern chemistry allows for pretty much any color without compromising sound with some clunky varnish, but violinists (and classical musicians) tend to be extremely traditional in their choices. 😉 The most common way to 'dress up' your violin is with a fancy tailpiece and/or pegs, of some fancy rare wood or intricate carving, but you don't find many 'serious' violinists who stray too far from tradition.

It's a Work Sharp 3000. It's pretty handy but you need to adjust to use your own sandpaper because buying the manufacturer's special stuff gets expensive fast! 😉

Ask the sellers to double-check that all parts are properly attached before buying one of these second-hand. 😉

Thank you! 😊

@@SculptyWorks will you make any other videos of jewelry making?

@@ricardomichael10 Eventually, yes. There's a few things on the to-do list, I just have no idea when I'll get to it. 😉

Measurements? I pretty much freehanded it. 😉 But the overall length is 10.5", the stick is 8.25", handle is ~2", and 7/8" on the thickest part.

@SculptyWorks wow that's impressive. I don't know anything about woodwork, but I am interested in conducting. What is the thickness/diameter of the handle? And is the tip about the thickness of a standard pencil? Thank you so much for answering!!! Really needed it because there are no online delivery services in our country, and no conductors or batons.

@@symphonyofsolidarity What country is that? And batons tend to be personalized, every conductor has their preference. You could say the stick is about as thick as a pencil but it tapers towards the tip. The handle is the thickest part but it's pear-shaped so it narrows to just about the thickness of a pencil and then it flares out a bit to create a flange type of separation between the handle and the stick. If you have no alternative, a straight long stick will work just fine to conduct. Ideally you want it to be white, so it is contrasting and easier for the musicians to see. The handle just makes it less likely that it will slip off your hand, and is also more comfortable to hold, but like I said, if you have to, a plain ol' stick will do. 👍

@SculptyWorks okayyy thank you so much for helping!!! Btw I'm from Afghanistan. And yes, music is illegal here, but only in public places. And music in spotify, youtube, etc is banned here, but we all use vpn. Also, instruments are illegal here. Only male acapella are allowed. And I'm female. Yeah, there are lots of problems, but finding a stick is how I'll start solving them :)

@@symphonyofsolidarity Wow! Please be careful and don't get in trouble!

They are fickle little wooden boxes. 😜

It's an old habit. 😉👍

I like the all-in-one paint+primer ones. I think I used Rust-Oleum on this. 👍

The 'correct way' would be with a sprue and risers, with feeders shaped to reduce turbulence. 😉

@@SculptyWorks Can you make a video of this? Because I don't really understand what you mean... I'm new and would really like to start with this kind of art, watched all of your vids and would like to learn it from you only haha

@@samvandillen I'm a little behind on my to-do list of videos so I have no idea when I could make one about this, but another RUclipsr, @swdweeb has some excellent videos on casting metals, where he goes in depth on how to make good molds. www.youtube.com/@swdweeb He can get a bit chatty, but has some solid ideas about casting. 😉

Thank you! 😊

I run into "mystery glue" on instruments all the time. I feel your pain! If the fingerboard has to come off, and there's no room to just re-shape it, and the glue won't give up, and your customer is willing to fork out the cost, I would say carve out the fingerboard and install a new one. Some glues simply won't let go and you risk warping the neck with too much heat/moisture! 🥹

@@SculptyWorks Strange i replied to this earlier but I don't see it .... I was afraid that ship had sailed when they glued it back on the first time it broke, one side had a huge gap in the middle and the other side only a little gap so I thought it was already warped slightly but it turned out less severe than I thought... Maybe they clamped it wrong making it look worse than it is, the board is off now and the neck appears to be less bowed than when it had the FB glued on it.. I ended up using a candle to heat the knife instead of boiling water because this mystery glue was extremely elastic and took way longer to loosen the bond so the heat dissipated off the blade too fast when I heated it with water. It went... hold it over the candle, pry it in.. wiggle, & repeat... a lot. The mystery glue looked like chewing gum on my blade and stuck right back to the board and neck after it cooled down so that was fun... took 40 minutes just to pry it off and I burned myself on that damn candle twice but I got it done with little to no tear out on either side ... After I got it off the "bow" or warp in the neck looked minimal, I do suspect I'll have to do a little planing to get it flat but it doesn't look to be very much on the straight edge of my machinist ruler so here's hoping I can flatten it out without taking off too much and having to adjust the neck angle! Fb looked salvageable tho, tiny piece of tear out but that's it ... should go back on without too much hassle. I did a couple of shorts on it on my channel to document my progress in case you'd like to see how it was and where it is now. Anyway thanks for the advice, I'm glad I didn't have to carve the fb off and replace it but I still appreciate the tip!

@@FraJa1980 RUclips comments are awful. Every week I check them on the Studio thing and see there's dozens of comments RUclips never notified me about. Very frustrating when you actually like responding to comments like I do! 😜 Glad the fingerboard came out without you needing to carve it out! If the neck has just the slightest bit of a bow or warp, chances are it will get corrected when you glue the fingerboard back on. You want a flat surface on the neck to work with, but if possible, avoid re-flattening it to any extreme degree because that will mess with the projection and all that and you'll need to make corrections for that. So, give preference to changing the fingerboard, since that is a relatively easily replaceable part. 👍

@@SculptyWorks Yeah I know, had the same problem with comments. You'd think a company like RUclips would fix that. it was pretty warped, I'm talking 0.2 mm gap on one side and around 1.8-2mm on the other and it had a faint hump on the right side base around the neck joint area, looking down the side it looked like a stretched out letter S. I wish I had seen your comment earlier because I did do quite a levelling job to get most of that bowing and warping out but I tried to keep the same angle for the fb protrusion as it had before as much as I could. I even took a little off above the pegbox to make up for the hight differential between the highest and lowest part of the gap and still preserve that angle but I eyeballed it so I'm hoping I'm still ok on that end. Fingerbord lies flat on it with no gaps now and looks to still have the correct angle, just a little lower so here goes hoping I didn't mess it up. I'm learning a lot here so if anything that's worth the 70$ this thing cost me.

@@SculptyWorks this is either my heroic act... or sin against violin kind. ruclips.net/user/shorts1ROgDgJfjXc There's 5 parts so far, 1 and 2 show how bad it was.

👍😊

Thank you ❤

👍

Enya also makes a Go “Mini” that is roughly half this size.

Woosh! 😉

If only it would last! 😉

Thanks! 😊 I know a supplier in India. Those specific ones are peridot. The tree has 13 branches.

👍

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊 I plan to make a video about the mold-making process, but no idea when it will get done. 😉

It would prevent that, yes, but I can't think of the last time I had to work with such tall items. 😉

❤❤

@@SculptyWorks ❤❤

Thanks! 😊 You could make one out of wood, but it would be significantly more delicate.

😊❤

I believe that was some Krylon All-in-One, probably semi-gloss because I rarely keep gloss paint around. 😉
