Just having some fun with some bridge fails!

The 'mystery' in my opinion is simply that people refuse to believe mere mortals could have built them. That's so cute!

I guess your dog hungered for knowledge! I don't think Ancient Egypt and violins mix very well, they are so separate in ...everything!, that more than likely the result would be extremely gaudy!

Ebony dust does get everywhere, yeah, the stuff is a nightmare!

Look at the 'dirt' in that craquelure!

How is the fingerboard the messiest part?

Yeah for the sake of keeping it from being several hours long, most shots have to be at some form of fast-forward speed. But that's why we have the pause button! I'll keep in mind the suggestion about the peg string holes. I tried all sorts of different blades and bridge knives and all that, and and settled on using x-acto knives with a fresh blade each time for bridges and soundposts (I can get 3 or 4 out of each blade before I swap). I even made a beautiful fancy bridge knife but ended up never using it and always reaching for the x-acto instead.

Well, the DIY violin kit is finally finished! Be gentle with me, Murphy's Law dictates something had to go wrong, so... ...see for yourselves.

So beautiful!

...it was Irish Breakfast tea.

uhm? It's sad I never get jokes!

The sacrilege continues!

...your retirement plan?

So I thought I'd share the cringe here too!

And made another baton!
