Well, it is the 5th day since I started but I really didn’t do anything on the violin other than square up one edge on the form. I did get the wood in though, as well as a few other things that I’ll need.
I spent a little time going over some of the things I’ve had to get for the project so far and covered them in this video. You also get to be tortured by me struggling with some exercises on the E-String.
On the violin itself, I’m at a stand still for a couple days. The next step is to get the rib stock down to about 1mm thick. To do that, I’ll need a set of calipers which have been ordered and are due in on Monday. In the mean time I’m going to practice bending wood and make some tools I’ll be needing.
