can we reuse the wedge if is taken out without any damage? the same for the piece used in the tip?

Awesome video

It's a wonderful bow. I love my Tete Beche viola bow.

but,if the slide is very difficult to move ,such as use any method waste two hours not remove the pearl slide,how to do then?

Your rehair series are great and ive watched them several times now.. I was wondering if it has ever crossed your mind to do videos on installing/replacing the thumb grip or winding.. or to do videos on general repairs and maintenance. lots of great videos out there about these various topics but it seems you've put alot of thought and conviction into your craft. i almost said passion.. but i think you made it clear what your passion actually is.. lol.

This channel for is amazing

This wood does not look like Maple. is this Beech? (Fagus?) I may be mistaken tho

Put a couple of water, then it will be very easy to take of the ferrule. Even without any tools but with your fingers.

Do you teach a class in violin bow making? I’m interested in taking one and becoming a violin bow maker.

You've removed the cork (kind of wooden plug) at the tip so easy with no trouble. It looked so loose, am i right?

The rosin scene was so satisfying

❤

🤣🤣🤣🤣

what if I dip the end knot of the hair in a molten rosin?

Deberías de respetar a las mujeres y no utilizarnos como objetos sexuales (minuto 5:23). Repugnante.

That timber looks like beech

I have been rehairing and repairing bows for 35 years. These videos are interesting, to see how others do the same work. The process of rehairing bows can be approached in a variety of ways. It does not matter how each step is done as long as the end result is satisfactory. I learned originally to rehair frog to tip, that’s how my teacher did it. Initially I thought I caught on quickly, had false sense of competency. Then when I started working in a shop, the pressure was on, it was pretty grim. There were a number of things working against me, I was trying to use poor hair, most of the bows I was doing were poor quality, among my other things. The thing that made the biggest difference for me was to start over and learn to do the job tip to frog,. Everything just works better for me this way. I’ve watched other videos and the way some people do this just scares me. Some of them put the bow stick and frog in danger because of the way they do things. The last thing we want to do is break the bow.

Excelente didática, na primeira tentativa deu certíssimo, muito obrigado ❤

This is a great series. The rehairs I've done since watching these videos are so much better! You have improved my skill on this task so much! I'm so grateful for your generous heart in sharing this with us. Sincerely, James

Thank you

Uzun bir video

Nice

Fascinating video, full of detail and thank you for posting.

A suggestion and a question: Suggestion: push the comb into the hair diagonally at first, to get as many "arms" of the comb among the hairs, and then turn it perpendicular. You will spread the hair way more, and the result will be more precise. Question: why is using fire at the end bad? I though it was a rather widespread procedure.

You're cinematic inserts are hilarious lol

"I refuse" hahahaha

Thanks for share!

Gilles, I've watched a number of your videos concerning bow rehairing. Your videos are always easily understood, step-by-step and at a speed that can be learned from. Also, the element of humor that is usually a part of all your videos is something I very much appreciate. I watched this video as I, for the first time, had purchased a new full pound of hair. I am very glad that I watched it as it will help me hold the hair properly and use the preferred ends for the bow rehair. I learned to rehair a bow from the tip to the frog. Having the best/whitest hair at the frog of course makes sense. I'll inspect my new hair to discern if/that there is a section that is a bit more white. Thank you for offering your expertise online in such a professional way, Gilles.

Clear, thorough, and occasionally funny. What more could one ask for? Where other videos on this topic are vague, this series provides all the key details. Thanks to this series: 1) I rehaired a cheap fiberglass bow. First time I ever tried it. I followed the method as closely as I could, using tools that I had. Mostly, sandpaper. The bow is now usable again. Better than throwing it away, which is clearly what the manufacturer intended, once the hair had worn out. 2) I have a *much* greater appreciation for what goes into a high-quality bow rehairing. I'm not going to kid myself about the quality of my work. I'm taking my fine wooden bow to a professional for rehairing.

What do I do if the mortise has rounded edges (looking top down)

Thank you for this excellant vidio! I AM CURANTLY REHAIRING FOR THE SECOND TIME. AND HAVE BOTCHED THE JOB. THERE IS TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE BOW. I DID NOT USE MAPLE WEDGES, I USED BIRCH CLOTHES PINS. NOT VERY SATISFACTORY. THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THE WHITE PART OF HAIRS GOES TO FROG. I HOPE TO CORRECT THE SLACK HAIRS AND USE SEALING WAX. I HAVE APPLYED WATCO TEAK OIL TO AN OLD CHEC. BOW. SOME CHILD VOMITED ON THE BOW DURING ITS HARSH LIFE. THERE ARE 9 COATS OF TEAK OIL ON THE BOW NOW. I USED WET SAND PAPER TO SMOOTH THE ROUGH WORKMANSHIP OF THE BOW. IT HAS BETTER QUALITY PERNAUMBUCO THAN WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN TODAYS WORLD. SO I TRY TO USE THE COMPROMISED BOW. THE TEAK OIL LEAVES THE DRY OLD WOOD FLEXIBLE AND THAT IS WHAT I THINK I NEED IN A GOOD BOW. MY LAST BOW REHAIR I USED BLACK HORSE HAIR AND IT WORKED SURPRISINGLY WELL. I USED A WORK BOOK ON STRING REPAIR AND FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP. THIS TIME I REHAIRED BY MEMORY AND I THINK I LEFT OUT SOME STEPS. I MAY HAVE TO BUY MORE HAIR AND START OVER. I AM NOT DETERRED! I WILL SUCCEED I KNOW BECAUSE I DID IT LAST TIME. THANKS FOR CONTINUED MENTORING, MOST GREATFUL. C.C.E. U.S.A.

Helpful screenshots: @4:09 fit of the frog wedge @5:52 fit of the tip wedge

Perhaps an ignorant question, but why is this necessary? Why not leave it tied at one end, and keep it curled in a drawer, where you can pull out the hair you need when you need it?

Brilliant video, the tip wedge is refusing to move so I will use my chisel !

Many thanks for the tips. How much does a 250 gram bundle cost?

Many thanks. Very useful.

Thank you very much, a very helpful tutorial.
