Several of my favorite guitarists did soundtrack work for Herzog films: Richard Thompson did the music for Grizzly Man, and David Lindley (with Henry Kaiser) did music for a film about the Arctic.
I was 53 seconds into this and feeling way more creeped-out by the Werner Herzog voice than I expected to be. But by 1:02 I am laughing out loud at "it is poignant to imagine the delicate sound of yesteryear...ephemeral joy...". Hilarious. You are the Philomena Cunk of Luthiery.
I knew something wonderful in the narration was about to be served up as the camera dove into the abyss and I was not disappointed; LINT! The room still echoes with the reverberations of my mirth! The cat is still on edge, the dog has fled and the children are crying. Bravo!
I never comment on videos I watch, its just not in my DNA but here we go! As a musician I find these videos endlessly fascinating. As a bassist I find myself selfishly wishing for more bass content. And as a maker I find your craftsmanship inspiring. So after a really difficult day I pop on the tube to take the edge off. And am greeted by this absolutely brilliant Herzog inspired intro. I have to say this was everything I never knew I needed. Thank you for bringing some much needed light. Bravo good sir!
Really, genuinely, wonderful to hear you doing Herzog. And doing him well. As always, Ted, your skills and wonderfully calm yet cynical way of solving problems creatively are a joy to watch.
You sir, have truly found your calling! The level of skill and expertise is amazing... but your willingness to share that knowledge and edu-tain us is extraordinary. THANKS FOR THE VDEOS!
I love your sense of humor! If the Werner Herzog doesn't make you giggle, "the teeter has tottered" will. Fabulous show, can't wait to see more of this "resurrection", as another commenter called it. Wash or burn as required, kind Sir!
Crazy how good you are at your craft, yet fake restoration videos get millions of views. I remember the Gibson headstock repair you did and was blown away. We've all seen hundreds of Gibby repaired heads, but yours was by far the cleanest job I've seen 👌
You do such exemplary work, and now I hear Werner Herzog’s voice wonderfully describing this old guitar, brilliant! A perfect melding of philosophy, craftsmanship and dry humor. Love it.
As someone from the UK, who enjoys the most classic UK sitcom, I can’t help but think of ‘Triggers broom’ when imagining of how this guitar will end up!
I have learned more about how a guitar should be constructed/put together, and the methods for doing it from watching your highly enjoyable and instructive video's. Thank You.
Early Washburns were amazing. The closest they ever came to recapturing that quality was when Jonathan Lee was designing for them. Lots of quality stuff from his time there.
On your remarkable narration, it was an inspired rendition. Capturing the idiosyncratic voice of a man who, like each guitar you present, has his own lilt and consonance. Thanks again for sharing your art with us. That tiger oak back is incredible!
I'm looking forward to seeing this repair completed. It's a ton of work by it needing so much repair, but it looks like the fun kind since nothing is fighting with you and it's more like building a guitar rather than repairing.
Somebody must really love this old Washburn, because you could probably (almost) *build* him a new one for what this repair's gonna run. 😄 Also, your Herzog is 'spot on' as the Brits say. Loved it!
“Some see harmony in luthiary, but when I look into the dark void of the guitar’s sound hole all I see is murder and chaos. The music of the spheres is a fallacy. Existence stretches away from us on all sides, uncaring, soulless, absent of meaning or purpose. Dm, Em, F#, Bm, F, E, Am. Chaos.”
This was both your most humorous and one of your most interesting vids. I love your sense of humor! Your craftsmanship, of course, is outstanding as usual!!!
My favorite CZcams luthier. The woodworking skills of Norm Abrams. The patient, caring vocal tones of Bob Ross. The beard, humor and attitude of the Canadian national treasure, Red Green. PLUS an awesome guitar player.
Man I love you videos and can truly say that I am bummed out that I have to wait a week to see more on this guitar. I guess this becomes a better subscribe to a channel moment. Thanks
One of your best, Ted. Can't wait to hear the soothing tones and demonstrations of mastery that will comprise your next video. The subtle comedy also tickles my British funny bone - don't underestimate the value of your personality in these YT masterpieces.
Last time I saw a Washburn this old, ****** String Works was tearing up one from 1890s. When he did, his reply was "well you gotta do what you gotta do". No, J----. You didn't have to break that guitar from the 1890s to fix it. He's sooooooo bad.
I'm looking forward to see how this turns out. I'm a washburn man myself so I really want to see how this one sounds. Also...very nice werner impression.
This luthier from New Zealand / Aotearoa finds a good deal of cultural sympathy and enjoyment of your resigned humor. Also the soldering iron and realistic conscientious work.
Definitely following this one out until the end. There's just something awesome about watching an old guitar go from poo to awesome. You sir, are very talented.
Man of many talents, I was waiting for the amateurish hyperbolic annunciation and cliche overkill but your rendition was keen and adept like your guitar restorations . Fun as well!!
Loved the opening voice portraying Herzog ! I also loved the "in the pocket" comment about Bernard "Pretty" Purdie ! One of my all time favorite drummer dudes ! You are a marvel Ted !
Probably the best of Ted's videos I've seen for a very long time . . . not just the Whacky Herzogian starter, but the whole bevy of details and shots. That new bridge is a thing of beauty. Am seriously looking forward to part 2. Great job . . . and I LOVED the hammer tattoo. So inappropriate for a man of such skill.
Your Werner Herzog is on point. 😂
Several of my favorite guitarists did soundtrack work for Herzog films: Richard Thompson did the music for Grizzly Man, and David Lindley (with Henry Kaiser) did music for a film about the Arctic.
Haha indeed!
You wish this guy would respond to your stupid comment
The rot and decay of wood. A stark reminder of our own mortality. Like so many passing ships in the night
I had to pause video…I was dying!😂
As an ardent admirer of Werner Herzog, I thought you did a very commendable impression of both his voice, and his philosophy.
Also as an admirer of Herzog I have to totally agree while still rolling on the floor laughing...
So good it was spooky
We also got a quick Gary Chalmers the 3rd reference too!
The accent was very good, not only German but also the Bavarian tongue of Herzog came through!
Thought it was more Arnold Schwarzenegger lol
"...and lint" no, Ted you humored ME. a GREAT episode!
"Darkness & Lint". What a great band name...
Or a law firm.
I was 53 seconds into this and feeling way more creeped-out by the Werner Herzog voice than I expected to be. But by 1:02 I am laughing out loud at "it is poignant to imagine the delicate sound of yesteryear...ephemeral joy...". Hilarious. You are the Philomena Cunk of Luthiery.
Philomena Cunk is a dim bulb who has no idea what she's talking about. Ted is, if anything, her antithesis.
“In the pocket like Bernard Purdie”… thanks for a laugh for the drummers.
A Bernard Purdy reference is not easy with a Herzog intro , you are the best Twood
Wow! An homage to Bernie Purdie, master of the funky drum set. Thanks for that little flash from the past.
I thought you had lost it completely at the start of this video. The various volatile organic compounds finally got to Ted. 😂😂 Loved the episode.
The introduction was pure gold. You had me laughing out loud! Really looking forward to seeing this repair to completion.
Steamed hams but it’s a 20 minute guitar repair video with a Werner Herzog cameo
Loved the concluding "darkness and lint" Herzog line! And looking forward to the next installment of this repair.
Little Dieter needs to fly; but little Werner needs to play.
I knew something wonderful in the narration was about to be served up as the camera dove into the abyss and I was not disappointed; LINT! The room still echoes with the reverberations of my mirth! The cat is still on edge, the dog has fled and the children are crying. Bravo!
I think we need to establish an international “Talk Like Werner Herzog Day”, thanks for the laughs!
I never comment on videos I watch, its just not in my DNA but here we go! As a musician I find these videos endlessly fascinating. As a bassist I find myself selfishly wishing for more bass content. And as a maker I find your craftsmanship inspiring.
So after a really difficult day I pop on the tube to take the edge off. And am greeted by this absolutely brilliant Herzog inspired intro. I have to say this was everything I never knew I needed. Thank you for bringing some much needed light. Bravo good sir!
I do, however, against my better judgment, love it.
As a long time fan of the channel, but also a drummer that doesn't even know how to hold a guitar, I appreciated the Bernard Purdie "pocket" comment.
Just when I thought I couldn't love this you tube channel any more than I already do, you hit us with thar fantastic Herzog intro. Brilliant!
Really, genuinely, wonderful to hear you doing Herzog. And doing him well. As always, Ted, your skills and wonderfully calm yet cynical way of solving problems creatively are a joy to watch.
Always love a good Werner Herzog impression. And this was a good one. Laughed out loud at the end. Fascinating project this.
You sir, have truly found your calling! The level of skill and expertise is amazing... but your willingness to share that knowledge and edu-tain us is extraordinary. THANKS FOR THE VDEOS!
Ted is a continental treasure. What a talent!
That intro was a thing of pure joy. Thank you.
Interesting project! It's not so much a restoration as a resurrection. I look forward to hearing it sing again!
Thanks for that; I needed a laugh. That was spot-on! I was expecting to hear something tying the guitar to grizzly bears.
From its condition, that guitar may have been used to fight off a grizzly.
I'll just pile on here...both your Werner Hertzog impression and the prose for the opening...perfect! Made my day. Thanks!
I love your sense of humor! If the Werner Herzog doesn't make you giggle, "the teeter has tottered" will. Fabulous show, can't wait to see more of this "resurrection", as another commenter called it. Wash or burn as required, kind Sir!
Excellent impression, lol! It's good to see that the old guitar will live to play another day.
I will be looking forward to next week! This was a fun episode. I just hope the bridge area doesn't cave in making your work worthless. Good luck.
Herzog sets the mood for the long and arduous journey of a guitar in need of a rebirth.
Crazy how good you are at your craft, yet fake restoration videos get millions of views.
I remember the Gibson headstock repair you did and was blown away. We've all seen hundreds of Gibby repaired heads, but yours was by far the cleanest job I've seen 👌
For a brief moment I thought it was another great day of saving the bees. The fretboards 👀
You nailed the intro 👏👏👏
Well thought out delivery!
You do such exemplary work, and now I hear Werner Herzog’s voice wonderfully describing this old guitar, brilliant! A perfect melding of philosophy, craftsmanship and dry humor. Love it.
😂😂 Excellent Werner Herzog. Really cool project I can't wait to see the second half!
As someone from the UK, who enjoys the most classic UK sitcom, I can’t help but think of ‘Triggers broom’ when imagining of how this guitar will end up!
I remember that episode of OF&H ! But I'd heard the joke eons before, as it belonging to an Irish roadsweeper. Wouldn't be P.C. today !
these are never long enough and yes, I have watched old vids over and over for the last four or five years.....great work, Ted!
I have learned more about how a guitar should be constructed/put together, and the methods for doing it from watching your highly enjoyable and instructive video's. Thank You.
Early Washburns were amazing. The closest they ever came to recapturing that quality was when Jonathan Lee was designing for them. Lots of quality stuff from his time there.
Time well spent, making a wall hanger playable is commendable.
Thanks, Ted. I gotta say I get your humor. Always entertaining and informative.
You do you, Ted. We’ll always watch.
Fabulous. It's videos like yours that make CZcams a real alternative to traditional TV programmes. Can't wait for Part II.
the Werner Herzog bit was priceless! It could totally make a great doc! 🤣🤣😆😆
Appreciating the superintendent Chalmers quote!
On your remarkable narration, it was an inspired rendition. Capturing the idiosyncratic voice of a man who, like each guitar you present, has his own lilt and consonance. Thanks again for sharing your art with us. That tiger oak back is incredible!
Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say... you steam a good ham.
GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?!
amazing!
😄
SKINNERRRRRR!!
@@waylong25 Aurora Borealis
@@eric_in_florida Er... May I see it?
Insane work for the restoration! Can't wait for part 2! I was glued to the screen the whole time
I came for the beautiful reparation, and stayed for the impeccable Herzog impression
Wow, that's a pretty deep dive! I'm fascinated by the procedure. Can't wait for the next installment. Thanks, Ted!
I'm looking forward to seeing this repair completed. It's a ton of work by it needing so much repair, but it looks like the fun kind since nothing is fighting with you and it's more like building a guitar rather than repairing.
Fascinating! I can hardly wait until next week. Thanks Ted for such wonderful videos.
These bigger jobs on these older guitars are just awesome to watch i wish he'd do more of these bigger older jobs. Love everything about it
Somebody must really love this old Washburn, because you could probably (almost) *build* him a new one for what this repair's gonna run. 😄
Also, your Herzog is 'spot on' as the Brits say. Loved it!
Totally on point Werner. All your references are great today. Appreciate the good mood Skinner!!!
Been listening to Bernard Purdy all week. I’ve been on a SD kick recently.
"only darkness..and LINT" had me just about pissing on myself.
I love this channel so much.
Love the Werner Herzog Narration. Great director, and Podcast Narrator ;-)
This a great series for this one. Can’t wait for the next episode!
😎👏
Great ! looking forward to part two.
Steamed hams 😅😅 I enjoyed watching the loving care she received. What a grand old Lady.
“Some see harmony in luthiary, but when I look into the dark void of the guitar’s sound hole all I see is murder and chaos. The music of the spheres is a fallacy. Existence stretches away from us on all sides, uncaring, soulless, absent of meaning or purpose. Dm, Em, F#, Bm, F, E, Am. Chaos.”
Ok, I’m pissing myself laughing at that beginning! That was awesome!!
That little parlor is getting the complete spa treatment! It's gonna feel so good when it's all done!
🎶Well we never miss a chance, we get up and dance and to the Purdie shuffle. 🎶
Watching you remove that neck was awesome. You make it look easy but only a simpleton would believe it is! Very enjoyable video Ted !! Thanks
This was both your most humorous and one of your most interesting vids. I love your sense of humor! Your craftsmanship, of course, is outstanding as usual!!!
That was wonderful. Werner Herzog is an amazing director
Herzog beginning is hilarious 😂!
My favorite CZcams luthier.
The woodworking skills of Norm Abrams.
The patient, caring vocal tones of Bob Ross.
The beard, humor and attitude of the Canadian national treasure, Red Green.
PLUS an awesome guitar player.
Me too
Three words and I knew exactly who you were supposed to be. Can't wait to hear your Klaus Kinski!
Brilliant intro. Your mind is a treasure.
It's like watching Grizzly Man but feeling actual sympathy for the focus of the film.
Very nice master level stuff there. I enjoy watching people that know what they are doing do it right.
Man I love you videos and can truly say that I am bummed out that I have to wait a week to see more on this guitar. I guess this becomes a better subscribe to a channel moment. Thanks

Ted Ted Ted…
A stellar Warner Herzog impression and a Simpson’s steamed hams reference?? Keep it coming!
Werner has voiced characters in 4 (four!) episodes. (I had to look that up; I thought there was one, only to find more than one.)
I'm looking forward to see how this turns out. I'm a washburn man myself so I really want to see how this one sounds. Also...very nice werner impression.
Fun project. Looking forward to next week.
Yup!
Bernard purdie, superintendent chalmers, werner hertzog, this video has it all!
Outstanding! So on point. I always thought everyone can do a voice if they just pick the right one. I can do many. Your Werner is excellent.
This luthier from New Zealand / Aotearoa finds a good deal of cultural sympathy and enjoyment of your resigned humor.
Also the soldering iron and realistic conscientious work.
One of your best, I think, and that is saying something, because they are all pretty damn good. I learn something every time. Cheers!
omg Ted, I couldnt stop laughing at the spot on Werner Herzog impression. Keep up the great work!
"..into the void. Nothing but darkness... and lint". 😂😂 Luv it.
Definitely following this one out until the end. There's just something awesome about watching an old guitar go from poo to awesome.
You sir, are very talented.
Haha! That's an excellent Herzog impression! I had to rewatch the intro again. Good times
True fact, if you can do Warner Herzog, you can also do Christoph Waltz and John Malkovich with just some small adjustments.
Werner and steamed hams in the same episode? Oh my, now I’ve got the vapors.
Man of many talents, I was waiting for the amateurish hyperbolic annunciation and cliche overkill but your rendition was keen and adept like your guitar restorations . Fun as well!!
Beautiful channeling of Herzog! You’re a natural!
Loved the opening voice portraying Herzog !
I also loved the "in the pocket" comment about Bernard "Pretty" Purdie ! One of my all time favorite drummer dudes ! You are a marvel Ted !
You have a newfound ease with your humor. This was delightful.
An extra bit of humour de Canada this week. Splendid.
Your work is always so good that bridge fabrication is amazing, well done Ted.
I am loving the commentary jokes on this video. Love your work.
Probably the best of Ted's videos I've seen for a very long time . . . not just the Whacky Herzogian starter, but the whole bevy of details and shots.
That new bridge is a thing of beauty.
Am seriously looking forward to part 2.
Great job . . . and I LOVED the hammer tattoo. So inappropriate for a man of such skill.
Looking forward to watching the progress on this one.
