Building a Violin | Part One

May 21, 2024 • by Michael A. Atkins

I really enjoy woodworking, particularly with hand tools and so I’ve decided to take on the most difficult of woodworking projects…building a violin. I’m recording my progress on video so people have a chance to see me fumble around the workshop.

In part one I’m building the form and block templates based off of the “Forma P” made in 1705 by Antonio Stradivari.
