No high-speed video, no horrible royalty-free music. Finally something that's a pleasure to watch.
-
For any woodworker there is a HUGE wealth of shared knowledge here. Grits, tools, adhesives used - dust management - etc., etc., etc. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's uncommon to see a fine crafts-person sharing lessons learned over many years.
-
I love watching videos of craftsmen and women making things … it’s one type of video were no talking works really well. Unless of course it’s a tutorial video but watching something being manufactured is just really therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your skills.
-
Absolutely amazing work! True craftsmanship and a bit of a lost art these days. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
-
Another random recommendation from the algorithm. I'm a sucker for a skilled craftsman making ANYTHING it seems. No interest in turntables whatsoever, couldn't stop watching. Nicely done!
-
I’m a woodworker and sat and watched this with my audiophile husband last night and we were both transfixed! 😍 Marvellous craftsmanship and fabulously shot & edited video too!
-
Absolutely wonderful piece of art, your care and attention to detail just takes your finished piece into another level.
-
Always a pleasure to see a real 'professional' in action! Simply beautiful!
-
This is what’s best about YouTube, being able to watch a very skilled worker in action, brilliant and inspiring !!
-
Not with standing the cost - it was lovely to see a craftsman create something lovely and taking pride in what he was doing. simply wonderful
-
Watched this video before, the end result is just exquisite, beautifully made with such care, I’m sure the owner of that assemble deck would be very very pleased 👌👌
-
This video has been such an inspiration so I built my own plinth and veneered for the first time, definitely a learning curve and I plan to build more plinths in the future.you are a true craftsman and I take my hat off to you.many thanks.
-
Beautiful work. Love the use of layered plywood to allow a wooden chassis to be created yet with the dimensional stability required for such high end audio components. Each piece will be totally unique as well.
-
Wow, been sitting here trying to come up with the words to convey my thoughts/ amazement of your work. I know I've never seen a turn table if this quality. The finish is mind blowing and the parts the customer supplied were just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work!!
-
I did a very amature 401 build many years ago and I've had a 301 sitting around for decades that I intended to turn into a much more serious project but sadly I never seemed to have the time, inclination and resources come together at the same time. Seeing the amount of work you put in to produce such a stunning plinth makes me realize that the project was probably a bit beyond my scope anyway.
-
Fantastic craftsmanship. Glued to the video if you pardon the pun ! Nice to know that in these days of mass production the craftsman is still alive and well. This beautiful turntable makes my Project look a bit ordinary !
-
I'd normally find it very difficult to watch a 35 minute video straight through from beginning to end but this had me totally transfixed. A master craftsman at work is really something to behold.
-
I'm lost for words, nothing to say ... just WOW! Beautiful work, looks amazing.
-
there is nothing better then something handmade/crafted by a master, i am in awe of this level of skill
-
Filled me with nostalgia! I worked for Garrard Engineering in the 1970's in research and development. I even had a 301, but stupidly sold it years later. Thanks for the wonderful video.
