I got the bug and decided to try to build a violin. I’ll be using “Violin Making An Illustrated Guide for the Amateur” by Bruce Ossman as a guide.
Today, I got done getting the form pieces down to dimension, got all the holes drilled, and the form pattern transferred onto the wood. Tomorrow, I plan to use the band saw to cut out the form.
Here’s a video showing what I got done today and how I did it. Be prepared though… It also features me playing in the background. I’m still a beginner so it ain’t pretty.
Enjoy!
