progress from day 1I 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!
