thank you for sharing!

That is really poor quality engraving. The cuts only have one value and they come out as simply a line of one thickness. They are not using actual gravers. Also … who engraves pearl before inlaying into the fingerboard?

I’m late to the party, but I see no replies to the questions about the filler used, so I’ll jump in anyway…it’s called William Laskin’s Special Blend; it’s a black filler specifically designed for engraved shell, pearl, and metal inlay work.

send to Brazil ?

These guys needs proper respirators not cloth masks.

Pawa shell

Amazing skills, interesting video, terrible music.

what do they use to grind the shell to get both sides flat?

It's a pity the Vietnamese craftsmen doing this work weren't given credit at the end.

👌👍❤

Xưởng mình ở đâu vậy ạ

instead of annoying music, it would be much better to just translate what the craftsmen are talking about

The diamond blade doesn't cut skin it only cuts through hard materials.

can anyone share where to get such a thin-kerf diamond blade?

I want to abalone shell 500 kg do deliver in india byair

Horrifying health and safety on that upturned circular saw, and when they look at the camera for a second I'm like, there's a finger gone!

Fantastic

The music? who is the name a band?

May I buy a few whole shells for bowls to hold keys by the Door or trinket dish for counter ? Great video 🤟🏻❤️💋

My brother made the most beutiful tables with native birds made from inlayed mother of pearl. The tables where so beutiful but I had no idea how much work he put into them until now or how dangerous the work was. No one has made anything close to the table he use to make yet. No one made those kind of tables except him. Those tables would be worth alot of money now and a beutiful family heirloom.

HALF THESE WORKERS ARE PROBABLY SICK OR DEAD BY NOW 2022...

I,ve watched about two minutes of this ...it,s a nightmare ...so dangerous ...if these poor workers don't bleed to death with an injury ...they will die from shell dust anyway ...those dirty masks arrant much help ...ever hear of health and safety while you get rich ...disgusting ...I absolutely loves shells and pearl but this is like a massacre...human life is cheap here ...do something about these conditions ...from Australia

Where is the gold???

Guys, you need more protection when cutting the shells. It was like watching a horror movie for me.

Incredible art and incredible music. Thank you for sharing.

Mind blowing! When they cut the seashells, I had almost heart attack😳 They deserve big bucks for that type of work. Hats off

I love the song!

would prefer it if the music wasn't drowning out the speaking

I wonder what the black crayon looking thing is that he used to darken the etched areas?

An excellent businessman and a correct man.

I'm very much interested of purchasing about 10 " mother of pearl shell " from you if I'm able to.

When he tries to put the shell back together my though was. A snail walking around with a heck of a fixer upper.

This guys fingers are so close tp the blade it's scary.

Somehow I got the idea that they don't worry about ones inspectors there!

Awesome interview! I use some of DePaule's mother of pearl inlays on my custom guitars. They're reasonable priced and really nice. Kudos!

The level of skill, even when working with dangerous equipment, is incredible. Amazing and scary to watch.

There's what u use to cut any kind of shell,a diamond saw with water! Dangerous to cut it dry!! Or a tile saw will do it also.

How many people have lost there fingers.. Love the OHS there LOL

What is the black material you use for emphasizing accents?

Address please

Dave and Nadine, awesome folks, thanks Dave for all your support. Vinnie

I would like to order one of those, whatever it is that they made, to kill myself after watching this video.

Don't seem too concerned about protecting workers from catastrophic injury.

I read the purchase order in the end the guy was making inlays for the neck of a guitaur Nick Lucas brand inlays to be exact. luthiersupply.com/111/123/product/nick-lucas-style---peg-head-&-fret-board-sets.html

Wearing a cloth mask that’s saturated with silica dust. Not to mention his clii I thing. Yea.... future lung health issues for him and others in his family. At the very least use some water while cutting.
