ENGLISH TRANSLATION of the written notes in the video, in order of appearance :

00:06 - Bassbar part six - Profile shaping

00:16 - With a flat gouge remove the positioning cleats, being careful not to damage the wood of the plate

01:38 - With curved and pointed scrapers eliminate all traces of glue

03:01 - Plane the bassbar keeping it parallel to the top plate plane (ribs' gluing surface), bringing it to a maximum height of 16 mm in the middle (top plate thickness included)

04:01 - With a chisel, cut the upper and lower parts with a slightly concave curve, bringing the ends to a height of 6.5 mm (top plate thickness included). Respect the central part for the entire length of the F-holes, paying close attention to the direction of the fiber

05:51 - Check the frequency of Mode 5, which at this point should be still higher than the final target of at least one semitone

06:12 - Plane the bassbar sides giving them an inclination such that the central axis is slightly slanted towards the center of the plate, bringing the upper part to a width of about 4 mm

07:42 - Lower the central part keeping it always parallel to the top gluing surface plane and bringing it to a height of 14.8 / 15.0 mm (plate thickness included) at the bridge line. Lower the upper and lower parts also by increasing their concavity and bringing the ends to a height of 6.0 mm. Check from time to time the evolution of the frequency of Mode 5 that will have to remain still slightly higher than the final target
