I needed to quickly re-sharpen my chisel for another video, (a Lyre hollowing demo), I did this very quickly using my Scheppach Tiger 2000S, a budget water grinding wheel, while not as fine as the Tormek that i used in the past it does the job just fine. I mostly hone by eye day to day and over time my tools needs re-squaring and the 25 degree starting point returned and its helpful to use the ...

Cyclone Dust Extractor in the Workshop/DIY

While you can buy these systems ready-made, I bought the lidded bin, cyclone unit separately and used old hose, plumbing adaptors and parts to assemble mine. I use the bucket handle to lift it around, but I had a wheeled trolley for it but never really used it. My shop is a small, one-car garage space. The anti-crush valve is a must on your bin. Even if it’s a steel construction, my original bi...

Wake-up alarms 500 years ago must have sounded just like that
Bad processor
Love it! I want to build my own, though. Using your plans, of course. I was reading the Kalevala, how the very first kantele was built out of the jaw of a pike. Where can I find a pike big enough for that?
Large pike bones will only be in museums I think, selective fishing and thousands of years…
Play minecraft on it
I thought it was really cool but I got pulled over by a policeman telling me I can't have something hanging from my rearview mirror. I ended up giving it to a farmer who can use it in his tractor. It is such a cool idea though
I got one and got pulled over by the police you're not allowed to have anything hanging from the rear view mirror in Maryland
Do you still make these exact ones?
Yes, (see my Etsy store,) should be back in the listings) I make both the open back models and these closed back instruments, made to order, usually 6 months for 5 string, 12 months wait for 11 string. just finished a custom one of these in walnut wood and bronze strings, quick video next week.

Great sound, kantele, and playing technique
Any chance you can do a video on the Lyre bridge start to finish?
Absolutely. My son is coming over to film some videos next month, bridge making was one of them.
I have learned so much for you in the past years :) I hope you have someone you are passing these skills on too?
Thanks, that means a lot! My lyre making book is half finished, there will be no secrets left, just leaving what I have learned for others to build on. I do lots of one support with lyre builders behind the scenes too! ;-)
Great work! does it matter to have dead flat surface in the insides of the soundboard ? does it affect the sound?. PS: a wide router plane might do
I have a paul sellars model Wooden Router plane that i have extended to fit any lyre width, its a great option if you wanted to go all in on hand tools, the plans for building are free, he even sells a kit now. The inside of the lyre needs to be as smooth as you can make it, undulating surfaces are fine, not roughness, you can scrape or sand the wood.
I don't know about the chamfer (Or how to spell it)
It’s a way to get more soundboard space but keep strength at a weak point, and at the bottom it’s structural as well as adding weight. ua-cam.com/users/shortsuTazj4uWeVs?si=_903nIOiIEv9wAtG
Just what I needed to see thanks
I was about to send you the link! ;-)
Wonderful to watch: thank you so much for showing this process. It's very relaxing for the viewer, if not for the luthier! (And rather exciting, as I wonder whether it is 'my' Lyre you are working on!) [Caroline]
I am filming parts of the progress, different lyre out of sync

sweet job
I like your version of "Water is Wide" better than James Taylor's. What arrangement are you looking at in this video? I didn't see it in the book MY KANTELE IS MY TEACHER.
Wow, Thanks very much! its a very heart felt song, 16 year ago, I did it quite quickly when everyone had gone to bed one evening to demonstrate strumming and singing a song. Only wrote out one verse at the time. The sheet music will be added to my 5 string kantele playing book (hopefully ready by early next year) but you have all the chords on the video.
@@michaeljking I will buy that book.
Pretty good phone
Beyond compare ⚡️
We now have special tailpieces that take both loop end & ball end strings
Hello, Bought the same machine years ago but my wheel is so soft it disintegrates and get smaller every session especcialy with gouges (and i dont push) Do you know replacement wheels by other brands that could work?
The Tormek T4 is very high quality and is listed to be the same size stone, 200mm. 40mm 12mm internal. Need to check further before purchasing but it’s a good option. The scheppach has a Ø200 x Ø12 x 40 mm wheel
Scratchy chisel
Excellent video, thanks very much for sharing!
It looks hella clean
without Nokia branding it's worthless
These people will never try to learn and adopt a market. A smartphone means amoled display nowadays but these people are crazy and not using amoled display? Changing name will not yield , need to change the configuration
I think they will be open to what sells! they are upping the spec of the Indian version of this budget phone already. Time will see.
@@michaeljking if someone wants to stay in market or business, now a days they should compete in all the stages. R and D team should be innovative and execution of the innovation in the right time is the key to success. Example instead of testing which biscuits will get good sales weather Parle -G or Good day. They should make a new brand parle-day. Combination of both in midrange this kind of jugad will save them
@@rajashok24 nokiamob.net/2024/05/29/hmds-picture-getting-clear-with-new-leaks/
No, that's not what smartphone mean to me. Why many people are so crazy with amoled, while ips also pretty good too? Amoled have their disadvantages such easily burn image inside the display, while ips not. I prefer ips than Amoled.
I Don't think you know what issues with OLED screen huh? Good smartphone means great chipset, faster RAM, faster storage, great screen and great network VRR can drain your phone, faster charging make your battery life span shorter
Como se llama este instrumento?
Stick Dulcimer. ( palo de dulcimer?)
Just the pins holding the joint together? Or glue as well?
Glued with animal hide glue as well as pins, same for the soundboard
Thanks!
I use a G22 and it feels very slow. I don't use my phone for games but i want it to respond quick when i need to make a call or write mails or other mesaages. Camera is also nog top priority but if the app starts quick its good because sometimes i want to take a quick shot and miss it with my slow g22
Is that a Nokia g22 or Motorola G22?
All it right, but I'm highly concerned, why hmd isn't introducing it's own UI? Stock UI is quite boring. One of the reasons SAMSUNG ruling, it's one Ui.
They should focus on faster updates imo. HMD has an opportunity to be one of the first Android partners (Partners have early access to future AOSP release sources) to ship QPRs and monthly Android releases to production users. And showcase themselves as just as good as Pixels when it comes to fast software support.

Unboxing Nokia magic
I love nokia ❤❤❤
Nokia magic is my dream phone
Having a cyclone is a must I've discovered. Wish I'd invested in one 3 years ago.
Will flop
С процессором 1,6 мГц, даже бюджетный смартфон в 2024 году, стоит в два раза дешевле.
Yes, my 2 year old Nokia g11 had the exact same processor,(Unisoc T606 (12 nm) CPU Octa-core (2x1.6 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.6 GHz Cortex-A55)) which was okay for a budget phone, but I suspect the price will go down quickly and HMD will add faster chipset midrange models to the lineup.
@@michaeljking Oh, i think it will be much more interesting.
SO LOUD 😮
I will buy regular HMD pulse. Thanks for reviewing
My next smartphone is HMD pulse. Do it has wireless FM radio? Can I listen to radio without headphones? Thanks so much
Hi. Yes, the fm radio is working without plugging in the headphones!
@@michaeljking do it has radio recording? Sometimes I want to record FM radio programs! Thanks again 🙏
@@mutebisam not in the default fm player app, maybe a third party audio capture app
@@michaeljking third party apps don't record FM radio. I will use it like that. How about call recording without google voice alert? I don't want to notify the other person on call recording. 🙏🙏
@@mutebisam there are many audio recording apps in the play store, lots of screen recording apps too but that sounds like you might need to do something custom in the coding!
I like this nokia 😢
I don't like hmd
Looking premium still exist from Nokia...
Hey how do you find the phone? Is it useable or annoying to use? Bit concerned with the cpu choice.
I had a g11 Nokia from 2022 with same chipset, so I think that’s how they are keeping prices low in Europe. Display is better than the g11 I think. Hmd are upping the processor and ram on the variation in India so worth waiting and seeing. Compare this to the new Motorola’s or redmi’s that are in a similar price range on gsm arena. I mostly use this for multimedia (it has a jack socket!!) and only ever played simple games but it feels snappy enough. Camera is its real weakness (the ai aided camera is slow ) but that’s why hmd offer an upgrade to better camera model, the pulse plus or pro.
Why Hmd destroys nokia😢
HMD doesn't destroy it. The license of using Nokia brand almost end in 2026. They prefer to launch their own brand instead.
It's not arrow
Will amend it later, my error, I had heard somewhere that the arrow was to be the same design as the pulse model but better specs. (better camera, screen and processor, more “pro” than the hmd pulse pro. Launch soon hopefully so we’ll see!
Is not arrow.hmd Arrow will come next month.with different design better display better camara and 5g processor
That’s good to hear! The HMD pulse came out here in europe in 3 models(this one being the lower spec), with camera differences to cover different price points.
Too fast
Rip nokia
Ridiculous to show it on a video without playing it.
I know, it’s tricky as I am a maker and not a player, I put several links in the video description, including a recent video of another Crwth I built being played well: ua-cam.com/video/IDWoWqGKzpk/v-deo.htmlsi=k3jv5D18zWG0CbQy
