Viola Log: Mold & Ribs
I had already made a rather unorthodox set, which was very unprettyful and icky and so on and so forth. So we opted into making new ones.
MOLD
First thing was getting the mold done, upon which the ribs would be, well, molded. I still had that old one I made way-back-when, but the problem was that it wasn’t thick enough - the mold has to be ( Read more... ) -
10 Qs and a to-do list
Saw this on Mozzie's, figure it'd be a good thing to ask myself as well. Ten philosophical questions I ought to be asking myself, or at least, I need fresh approaches to.

Viola: Jigs, Cutting Front & Sanding Concave Side
I'm finished with the front now. ^.^ Later today I'll be working with one of the supervisors to pick out what wood to use for the back and to fix the bandsaw (which I don't want ripping out my throat while I'm cutting the back out.)
