Got a bunch of work done\u00a0putting linings into both fiddles this weekend. This turned out to be more difficult than I imagined it would be but enjoyable as well.<\/p>\n

I decided to use cedar for the linings, which made the shop smell great. Here’s a shot of setup I used to cut the linings down. I started with a board and ended up with 60cm long strips about 2mm thick and 8mm tall.<\/p>\n

It took me a few iterations to come up with that setup to trim them, but it worked well once I’d figured it out.<\/p>\n

So first I line Davide. Rubber bands added to clothes pins for added clamp pressure. That’s my new glue pot, which is actually a repurposed wax heater. Works great.<\/p>\n

So the Davide lined, it’s now on to Golia.<\/p>\n

On the full sized violin, linings are slightly more complex. For extra strength at the C-bouts, you cut slots in the blocks and anchor the linings in them like this:<\/p>\n

The linings come up over the top and will be trimmed flush later. Here’s Golia all clamped up.<\/p>\n

Note the two extra clamps. In both those spots I had an annoying bubble in the side. The nice thing about linings is that they allow you to correct some mistakes you might have made when bending. In fact, when I removed the clamps later, the sides were much improved.<\/p>\n

So linings done, I began to work on the top for Davide. Here I’m tracing the outline of the sides using a small washer to establish the overhang.<\/p>\n

And here’s the finished outline with the corners drawn in. They’re done by hand. Also, you can see what the linings look like flattened in this pic.<\/p>\n

Some work on the bandsaw and\u00a0the blank is\u00a0ready to begin carving.<\/p>\n

That block on the bottom will eventually become the top of the fiddle.<\/p>\n

Now for some random gratuitous shop photos<\/p>\n
