The narrowest point is located with the square on the top of the volute, not on the front (see the arrow on the photo), I never checked if also the narrowest point of second turn is on the tangent line, I simply mark it down from the previous point on the volute. Keep in mind that these are only reference point mainly used to keep simmetry, not to exactly locate the narrowest points, this is left to maker choiche. It's quite difficult to discerne were these points are on an original scroll, I never had the occasion to put my sharp compass point on the Messiah scroll....

Regarding the pegbox lines, once again the circles are only for keep simmetry on both sides,  widths are almost the same as the back but little difference might be induced by the working. You start with straight lines but in the end they will have to be a little convex, as to appear straight to the eye. See drawings for circles correspondance from back to front of pegbox. Measures may vary from model to model, the only measure to be strictly respected is the 26.5 mm over the nut approximately at the first peg (G) to keep the inside width of the pegbox at 16 mm (not less) to assure strings clearence from pegbox wall.

The answers solved  all my doubts about the volute, for the first part I understood, it's me who didn't explain well.

The photo is very clear (the narrowest part is close to the millimeter part of the square and not the opposite side, this was what I meant)

.... However, the picture especially the red arrow removes any doubt.

thank you so much

Hi Davide, working on the scroll is becoming interesting.

Can I use your pictures to make some examples ?

I'm aware that my videos are a bit long and it's easy to get lost....

 

But if you look for them details are there, hidden in some "folds" of the video, even if it takes a bit of patience and perseverance to find them.

Hi Davide

For me , your videos are the school I had not
I watch those with pencil and notebook at hand

 

Thanks
