Thank you for making a peaceful place in KZread! The lack of narrative give an inner monolog with subtitles. It has an very soothing effect. I grew up in craftmen/carpentry family and friends. But I didn’t took that route but the opposite. It is very inspiring when people share (also in any line of work). It obligates one to do the same. Even though you do not share your background, but it shows in the mastery of your work and dedication to your craft. I salute you!
Dude, when you specialize, you really do go all-in. The audiophile community must love you, because even when you're willing to spend heavily, it's not always possible to find someone willing to make something EXACTLY the way you want. These are some very cool projects, even if I don't necessarily understand the appeal of, for instance, ridiculously overbuilt record players. Regardless, you're making things that have spectacular attention to detail and build quality that will probably become heirlooms. Great work.
1:54 Good thing you had that track saw!
It is a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman take such pride in his work. Thank You!
I don't normally watch the ENTIRE video that people post of builds, but, this. Wow. Absolutely beautiful.
That final setup is absolutely insane! Beautiful work, as always.
Mesmerizing! The beauty of what you make. They're all masterpieces!
I love the craftsmanship you bring! Keep making videos please - thanks!
Gorgeous results! And what a joy to see them being made.
The grain patterns on some of those cases are beautiful. Lovely work 👍
Gorgeous work and great craftsmanship! Thank you for filming and sharing.
Beautiful work. Those amps are sublime.
You must have come from the machine tool industry. Normally I do not like a silent youtube video. But yours are done correctly. You tell us from the beginning what your making. And there is no surprize at the end to what your making except a great quality item, done right! Thank You Very Much!!!
So much respect to you for showing us how this thing is made.. Thank You. Hats off to You Mate....very very excellent Craftsman and very neat work....
"my mechanics" and this channel are seriously on another level thanks for sharing what you do pal, its spot on 🤘
Thanks for adding the shots of the final product, puts it in context.
More impressive work, thank you. A master at such a young age.
So pretty. So nice. Love them!
Outstanding workmanship my friend .
I am in awe watching a master craftsman create such functional works of art. Your attention to detail is inspiring. Thank you for posting your work on youtube.
Stunning work as always!
It’s a beauty, the craftsmanship.
Truly stunning craftsmanship, thank you
CONGRATULATIONS, A TRUE TEACHER, DELICATE, CAREFUL AND PROFESSIONAL, AN ARTIST
You are simply a country mile ahead of other so called craftsmen....

Not a hand tool to be seen anywhere, well, except the scraper. It's all machine work. Is that craftsmanship these days?

Agree some of the table saw work raised my blood pressure, but what do I know, I'm not a pro like this man. Thanks a lot for showing your practice!
To put this in '70s terminology: Those are some "Mondo" amplifiers! And now they're housed within and atop some stunning wood bases. Simply stunning!
Fabulous work that totally makes the end product.
you are the most gifted and perfectionist carpenter I have ever seen... thanks for sharing your amazing projects... hug from lisbon, portugal
Wow what a skillful guy you are...Lovely project.
Superb work sir! Your craftsmanship in making these cases matches the calibre of the hi-if components to be installed within. Don't know if I'm a bit late in saying this but congratulations on achieving 100,000 KZread subscribers. Well done! You and yours stay safe and well.
Wow what craftmanship, great to see some people still take pride in their work, does not happen often nowadays.
Superb workmanship as always. Particularly like the walnut varient.
Great work Russ. Was getting a bit worried as it’s been a while since your previous video 😉 great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Great job amazing workmanship
Works of art! ...I didn`t think they could get any better with the square mitered corners at first... But WOW!!!
Great man makes great products! Really appreciate your working manner! TKS
Such a pleasure to see your skills and craftsmanship. Keep it up! Regards.
What a pleasure to watch!! A real discovery. Thanks!
Gorgeous job!! Well Done!! Impressive!!
Nice job. Good to see you back.
Beautiful craftsmanship!👍🏽👍🏽
Amazing job. Congrats!
Simply stunning. Simply superb. Simply sensational.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Amazing Workmanship Thanks For Posting The Video
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the bubble can leave marks. Consider fleece type material or soft acid-free tissue in direct contact with the finished surface.
Perfect work , bravo!
so satisfying to see the top plate fit nicely into the recess on the chassis 😇
Nice work. Some really nice wood, too.
The finished product looks super retro. Nice job.
Cabinet making excellent. Video making even better. Thank you.
Like that you showed how to attach the adhesive sandpaper disc. I had to work it out the hard way. Love your work.
Simply captivating. You are very talented craftsman.
Really good job, enjoyed watching this very much
Beautiful, fantastic job. Congratulatións.
Amazing skill work! Thumbs up!
fabulous work once again.
SUCH nice work! DAMN !! good job !!
Brilliant work Guy's, Stay Safe and have a nice day !!! .
Beautiful job for a very nice piece of equipment.
Amazing craftsmanship, and thanks for sharing 🍺
gorgeous work!
Outstanding job!
I will never build a box like that but I will always use the techniques I learned from you in my future builds. Thanks for the sanding disc replacement especially! Wish my tiny shop had a ladies room.

A better system is to use velcro-backed discs. That way you can quickly go from one grit to another without having to throw them out. It's the same as what everyone is using for their random orbital sanders.
Good job. You did well to round all those corners freehand and maintain accuracy.
Great video buddy keep up the great work
Thanks for letting me watch it!
Love the work and craft on show here
All those woods looked lovely, but the husky brown colour and ring patterning of the oak (I'm presuming here) was just beautiful. That was a pleasure to watch you work. 🖖

I'll put it this way: neither you nor I could afford the speakers for those amplifiers! Those are some heavy duty, Industrial-strength beasts, but I'm with you on this-- would LOVE to hear what they do!

I used to know someone who owned a high-end hi-fi store and he invited me in for a listen. After a few minutes listening I realised that I couldn't hear the equipment. All I could hear was the music.

@Grannys Gusset I've been trying to remember the make of the amp they were using. It was not one of the regular brands. I remember the guy saying that the Japanese maker was an old guy who made one or two amps a year and they cost around $250,000 30 years ago. Those amps were like a fat coffee table about 1 metre square. The company made some budget amps at various price points: $25,000, $50,000 etc. The speakers were electrostatic and a bit bigger than a standard room door. Slightly narrower, but taller. I could not afford that type of gear. I spent too much money on skiing and sailing. 😁🙄

@@roadie3124 that sounds like the original Japanese audio note. Kondo San used to hand build the ongaku amplifier, great big thing that had old fashioned valves.
Wonderful and stunning visually, as others have asked, wonder what it sounds like? Great video.
Looking great mate
Absolutely perfect that is some serious hi fidelity there
