Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain - Episode Nine: Rachel Rosenkrantz
In this episode of Raw Craft Anthony Bourdain heads to Providence, Rhode Island to meet with luthier Rachel Rosenkrantz, to learn how she makes handcrafted custom guitars. Rachel left a successful career in product design to start her own small business making tailored string instruments for musicians from her home studio, Atelier Rosenkrantz. Rachel is introduced to Andy Rourke, bassist for English rock band, The Smiths, to create an original electro acoustic bass guitar, later used in the making of the score for Raw Craft, along with composer Timothy O’Keefe. Each instrument is thoughtfully designed and built to last a lifetime. Episode directed by filmmaker Rob Meyer. Music by Tim O'Keefe & Andy Rourke.
The Balvenie Distillery alliance with craft is a result of the brand’s choice to embrace the old way. Balvenie is dedicated to the process of using the five rare crafts of Scotch whisky making to create The Balvenie’s distinctive taste and exceptional quality. It is the only distillery that still grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional malting floor, employs coopers to tend every cask, a coppersmith to maintain the stills and a malt master to ensure the resulting spirit is consistently excellent.

"Hey look, this TV gig can't last forever." 😢 You'll be missed.
Tony was a master storyteller. While some “personalities” diminished some people and cultures for the sake of humor, Bourdain never did. He always seemed to honor the people he was interviewing. Thank you to The Balvenie people (and AB) for this series. I love it. I’m heading out for a bottle of the Balvenie to toast you guys. Well done. RIP to Anthony. God, you’re missed.
she's great. she's got a great soul, her eyes show how engaging she may be.

Tony was a great storyteller...!!! + R I P +
The best part was seeing how excited she was to watch him see the instrument for the first time. Seeing that it is easy to understand why she left the rat race to make guitars.

I hope whoever ends up with this guitar knows how blessed they are to have Anthony sign it!

What,??
theres no way you can't love both of these humans.
Loved her philosophy on why she does this instead of working for a large engineering firm or something else. Wish there were more people like her in the world.
Such a lovely woman. The way she smiles and laughs. The sweat under her arms..
Her smile at the end says it all! What a beautiful soul
When Andy Rourke walked in I was like "I've seen that person somewhere; oh yeah, Johnny Marr's concert lollapalooza 2015 Brazil." just awesome, love the smiths
Amazing how masters make their craft look easy.
Awesome segment. And the bassist from one of my favorite bands was in it, too. =)
Man, I miss Tony. What a great man. Fabulous show.
Mr Bourdain expressing his passion. Such a shame we have now lost someone who gave so much to so many RIP and have a better one next time round.
Passion for your Craft, Is a thing of Beauty as you can see in her smile. Worth a million bucks or if you take money out of the equasion, Peace of Heart. Thanks for showcaseing her !
I think I fell in love ... with Rachel. :)

So beautiful eyes
Ain’t gonna lie. I cried..
I'm blown away by this woman's talents and beauty.
I have been playing Guitar (Electric/Acoustic) for around 30years now and Every time I watch or read about any type of guitar building I get extremely inspired and excited , ive always wanted to learn how to build an Electric Guitar , its the ultimate in a personalized instrument , the player has built what he wants , to look like and sound like and feel like.
I am blown away. Absolutely phantastic what this lady is producing with her hands. Wow.
one of the best Raw craft episodes! loved it!
Magnificent, creating the soul of a new guitar. I've already posted this show on Facebook, as it's one of the very best. There is something so extraordinary about the artist-to-artist relationship; thus, the compelling backstory of closing that loop, which is what Bourdain's episodes are often about. The cooking connection is unmistakeable, especially with hot metal and sparks.
aww Andy's reaction to the guitar was priceless! He did his best to keep buttoned up (as a proper Brit should) but you could tell he was blown away.
She is amazing! Great artists and human. Very conscious about her actions and impact in the world. True treasure this artists!
Sure do miss AB, what a great voice and story teller. Heartbreaking and I didn't even know him personally.
This was Amazing.. I Absolutely love her. I think I'm in love.
I love the look on his face when he sees his new base for the first time.. then he play's it..amazing!!
Had to stop halfway and wipe a few tears for Anthony Bourdain. RIP. Not to take anything away from the Luthier, she has a great soul and such love for her craft. Bravo !
Anthony Bourdain keeps surprising me with His rich legacy. Bless His wandering soul, wherever He is.
This particular guitar has suddenly become more valuable
I can't wait to share this with my dad, who's a guitar nut. Thanks much for this.

Rachel’s passion for her craft was so evident. Incredibly gifted artisan.
Yo, I'm flat-out amazed. Awestruck. Entranced. At a loss for words... The beauty of her work so perfectly contrasts the blatant difficulty in achieving this level of craftsmanship, with such elegance to make it look effortless. I'm in love. Lmao. And she's a college professor?!? Oh, Woe is me. Lmfao...
I can't imagine what it must feel like to find a job you are so passionate about. Really brave of her to leave the "safe" corporate job behind and follow her dream.
Anthony, we miss you so.

Like crazy, hard not to tear up a little watching these.
This show is better than coffee on a day off but do go very well all together.
I have a hand made acoustic guitar made by a Luthier in NC...man I love 💕 it. It was made with all the woods I required, fret size, finger board of gaboon ebony,spruce tops and the back with flame maple...I love it. The bracing and enter all structures are mug importance! It is the soul of the guitar!
Great Anthony Bourdain and a beautiful Rachel Rosenkrantz. Very beautiful and relaxing video. This is where the Magic is happening. ♫ ♪ :)
Her smile when she sees her clients' joy is priceless.
That is the cleanest, brightest, most pleasant shop I’ve ever seen.
Thank you! A lovely episode.
WOW! so awesome, honestly! I'm blown away by her Craft, her artistry, the beauty of the work she puts out, and her all around beauty. I found this channel today, and am awestruck by the videos. it is so very important to me to continue true craftsmanship, making my Legacy. We are losing craftsmanship to mass production, and that scares my terribly.
One of my all-time favorite show. Keep up the amazing work. Thank you!
Wow. What a beautiful guitar! Loved this episode.
I wonder if anyone ever tracked down this Anthony Bourdain signed guitar.

Great show, Rachel Rosenkrantz, is a treasure... RIP AB.
Thanks for the video! I have been fortunate enough to meet some real talented women including some of the very youngest. Also "met" some on u tube. These people cannot be just mediocre, when it comes to work and instantly appreciate others with similar talents. The gents featured here were genuinely impressed by Rachel. Good to have someone like her as a friend!
This vid - and all in it , beautiful - Def beautiful !! Bravo !! And RIP Anthony
wow - a true artist! one of these days, i will own one of her creations! i wish i could "Like" this more!
She is absolutely stunning.
Thank you for making these. I find them very meaningful.
Anthony must be the best companion to have a beer and talk about things in life ! You can tell how much he respects her job! Great show Anthony !
Bourdains voice! I can watch and listen to his tv shows all day!
That rectangle he played sounded gnarly af!!!
Absolutely marvelous. VERY good episode
So Brilliant!!! So much talent out there in the world. Never give up on your dreams.
As glad as i am to live in these current times, there is something romantic displayed in this series.
Anthony Bourdain is the Man!! I love this Episode.
Beautiful and inspired craftsmanship-thanks for sharing
Such a marvelous and exquisite craftsman she is. Beautiful too.
That guitar just became priceless in June 2018
Absolutely breathtaking! I would be shaking too!
this was such a joy to watch
This show is great. I just started watching these for the 1st time. Knowing what happened to Anthony makes me sad. He really had a great talent for this. He can do any show about anything and he made it so interesting. I loved No Reservations also.
Andy Rourke bassist from the Smiths - LEGENDARY!
This was great.
Awesome Show !! Anthony Bourdain was a great man.!
This sort of passion and commitment blow me away; and as Bourdain would say 'the proof is in the pudding'. With this level of craftsmanship you definitely 'get out of it' what you 'put into it' and as was demonstrated in the video the difference is obvious...It's such a rare thing these days to find someone willing to dive into their passion with all their heart and soul and willing to take the risk of possible failure.... But that is where 'greatness' comes from.
great story and impressive work. So much love and passion!
that was a beautiful bass she made , the looks of a stand up bass with a vintage rock a billy edge to it, very nice !!!!!
such a beautiful episode
This is absolutely the most Interesting series of videos I've ever seen on KZread
