Hello, I have some questions about using templates. I got the 5-piece Herdim template set as a starting point. This may have been my first mistake, but it's what I have for now. I started working with the inner template and realized way too late that I don't know if the template represents the inner edge or outer edge of the ribs. That is to say, if I make my mold with the exact outline of the template, will my ribs be correct, or will they be ~2-3mm too big. If the latter, how bad is that? Any advice on using these templates is greatly appreciated, since they don't really come with any information that I can find. I have the Johnson/Courtnall book as my primary reference, and it of course discusses making templates from posters, but that feels out of scope for me, as it leaves too much open for me to interpret/ruin. If anybody has alternatives to recommend, I am very interested in that also. I have looked for information on the Herdim templates both here and elsewhere and didn't find anything, so I do apologize if this is a duplicate. Thanks!

Hi, I will be investing in a good-quality reamer. I have my eyes on one of the Herdim coated ones, but I'm not sure whether to go for a spiral model or a fluted one. Which one do you prefer using? I've always used spiral ones before but maybe I've been missing out all this time. Thank you

Hey folks, I just received some counterfeit Herdim style clamps from a Chinese ebayer. The fit and finish is a little rough on the plastic parts, but the threads all seem well done as none of the nuts seem to have travel issues. I'm not in a great spot financially and I know some others may also need to pinch pennies, so I thought I'd let you know. The seller has another auction up, a full set of 32 (4 yellow, 8 red, 20 blue) for an opening bid of $98, free shipping. I was lucky enough to be be only bidder when they did the last one, if y'all take turns you can probably do the same. http://m.ebay.com/itm/LUTHIER-TOOL-32-PCS-violin-top-and-back-clamps-/361458200784?nav=SEARCH Best always, Jackson
