Thank you for making these videos! I’m a hobbyist and I enjoy your videos very much. I’m hoping to make a violin myself in the future. I think it’s a beautiful art.

Good to hear it! You can go get the free guides as starters.

Some may think the lighting seems a bit "dramatic" for a craftsman to see well. However, I have seen professional woodworkers, sculptors, and gunstock makers (all of whom often use similar methods) use that light as a guide. You can tilt something into shadow that you want to see light reach, thus giving you a good gauge of where you're going. The eons old version of the laser level guide I suppose. Plus you can use the shading of the shadow to show you the curve you're working on.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Quick question, why luthiers don’t use sand paper on front or back of the violin?

[@MekwokStudio]

Thanks. It’s been said that scraping makes the surface shinny, sanding blurs it. There are actually ways to make a sanded surface shinny. So, mostly because of tradition, Stradivari didn’t have sandpaper :-)

[@quentinburns8298]

Now of course you COULD just CNC this whole process and if you used the exact same materials (glue, wood, varnish, etc.) I can't imagine that the sound would be affected. Somebody is probably making violins that way.
