I would be beside myself if I lost that much work. I know I am not supposed to comment on other peoples’ threads since I haven’t completed my first violin yet, but from what I have seen from your posts, I’m sure you will recover. But damn,. damn.., damn…, it has to hurt. Years ago I would have been more upset but not so much now. It's just work and it continues to be enjoyable. When it stops being fun then it's time to hang it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernym Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 Thanks, really having fun glad I have to start over because I cut the form down on my second build and didn't like the results. Notice the ribs don't sit flat against the bottom of the form. Even though it's shimmed it's not quite the same shape as the original tracing.

ernym Posted July 24 Author Report Share Posted July 24 I posted this video in the first build thread. Gerald Trimble playing his restored Sultana at KC Strings. To give you an idea of how an original was played and what it sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernym Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 The maple back arrives today so I need to get moving on making a new form. Finished cutting out the template this morning and have some Baltic birch for the form. Just need to finish template outline and trace. Arrived, Bosnian back .63sg I like Salve Hakedal's sg calculator for measuring density. https://www.fiolinmaker.no/tips-triks.php?uside=eigenvekt.no&flagg=no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Couch Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 Looking great. Are you going to do a fully rounded bead on the edge? I'm asking because the scoop looks square-ish on the outer perimeter. I have been wondering how the fully rounded bead would be carved, and leaving the scoop inset from the edge and more square is what first came to mind. When I saw your fluting, I had to ask.
