Progression...

Everytime a class happens, it seems like the idea of the mass of wood being a violin is more...realistic. So...on Tuesday, Violet underwent some more cosmetic changes. The corners are now all even there isn't any overhanging of the ribs, both sides are sanded perfectly flat and the linings have all been thicknessed to 1.8 mm thick. It's pretty exciting!

The ribs are on and not clamped anymore!





Another view...the corners are ready to be taken down


Planing down the corners...you have to hold it in this really awkward way to be able to get the corners to be flat. They were a pain, because they kept trying to chip and split.
