Marking and cutting out the MDF mould. Rasping edges to perfect right angles. Tracing and making the scroll template.
I am making a copy of Stradivari's renowned and infinitely valuable "Le Messie" (The Messiah) violin.
I moved into the workshop on Monday and built a rudimentary work bench to get started on. Today I'm tracing and cutting out my inner-purfling template and transferring the outline to MDF for the inner mould. |
