12 Hours a Day at the Workbench

Video by China Press 中國報

China Press recently visited the shop to talk with Tan Chin Seng about the realities of being a full-time luthier in Malaysia.

In the interview, Tan talks about spending at least 12 hours a day at his workbench. He explains how working with wood requires extreme patience and how the quiet, solitary nature of the job is actually what he enjoys most about it.

It’s a great, honest look at the daily grind behind the craft.
