I’m about three weeks into making my first fiddle, and it occurred to me that I probably ought to document this process. Three weeks in fiddle making time is about five minutes in real life time, so I don’t have much backtracking to do. In fact, I just finished up making the fixture that my violin will be built around this very afternoon. Here’s what it looks like:
“Wow, Joe,” I hear you ask, “did it take you three weeks just to make that? If so, is you fiddle going to be done in the next decade?”
Yes, it did, and don’t be a jerk, it’ll be done before that. I’ll explain it all before long.
