Wow!
From a spectator's viewpoint, the the nosepicker appears to work as if by magic; like Christine repairing herself.
That is artistry, Wes! I love those old horns!
Maybe, maybe not. I just know I get a much better finish using drill rod.
Amazing work!
I wouldn’t pick my nose with that tool!
Always interesting-thanks!
Awesome job! I recently had some cleaning & dent repair on my trumpet. Looks great but one of my valves continues to stick and only when played. Any suggestions on how to best fix this valve? Thank you
Would be nice to hear this horn played when finished. Also love seeing the dents leave as You work them out.
Do you make your tools out of "drill rod?" Do you harden it?
Master at work. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.
The dents dissapear in front of our eyes. Respect to both of you. Good filming.
Great camera work!
Looks great!
👍👍👍 In the past, soda cans used to be stronger too. 😉
as always, tremendous work !
your intros are getting better and Miss kay is getting very good with the camera work. Of course your abilities with the brass is great. TY for spending time to show us what you do.
I don't know how to play an instrument, but I'm a little addicted to your channel just because you are so enthusiastic about what you do. Keep on keepin' on!
Kudos to Ms. K. for her wonderful photography. Every image clear, in focus and in-frame. She captured the Dents magically disappear(with a little help
from Wes of course). These videos would not be as satisfying without her great camera work!
Great to see the DIY tools you use. Any particular grade of steel rod for these? Plain or hardened?
That was some of the best filming of dent work you two have ever done, too often I have missed it because with the camera moving around to get better shots it's hard to know where the dent ball is, I'm sure it's also hard for Mrs K to follow while looking at the camera screen, you pointing out where you're working is great for everyone, thanks.
The dents just jumped right out in the hands of a master with self made tools! Great camera work Ms K!
It's always a pleasure to see someone with the right tools matched to the right touch doing such fine work. And I like that the right touch extends to making the tools that match how you like to work so perfectly.
Look forward to all of the different things that you’re doing with the horn. I’m a LOCKSMITH by trade but I work with brass as well and it’s quite exciting when you’re able to refurbish something or fix things back there’s been many of times and I’ve refurbished old locks, doorhandles, etc. to make the customer happy and that just feels good when you working in the trades. 😊
i could watch this for hours
Magic!
You make it look so easy. I know better. Years of experience give the illusion of easy work.
Now for a potentially foolish question, the dents certainly look bad, but do they affect the sound of the instrument?
We used to say at King Musical, "Slicker than snot on a doorknob".
This has to be one of those things that looks easy when someone with the knowledge and experience does it, but is darn near impossible for anyone else to do. I can see me turning dents into bulges. That mystical "Just right" is all important.
It look like quite an art. Thanks for sharing with us. My sister did this for a living, went to a school at West Iowa Tech (I think that's the name). I never realized how much there was to it.
So the thermoplastic form helps you shape the bell without thinning the metal. Almost like pitch does for repousse. Another reason to keep that thermoplastic stuff around. Art and science combined. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Nice!
🤓👍👏🏻🙏
Ms. K did a fantastic job with the camera. I could see the dents just disappear as you worked the metal. Great Job
Mr. Wes, I am really enjoying this series. That horn is beautiful. I hope Mr. Collier enjoys his treasure.
Nosepicker — that term is brilliant!
It's just magic how those dents disappear in your hands. Perfection!
My friend always says "slicker than snot on a doorknob."
