I like doing DIY projects, particularly woodworking with hand tools, though most of the time I have no idea what I'm doing. I've created this channel so that everyone else can also see...that I don't know what I'm doing.
Enjoy!

Project | Building a Violin : Part 7, the outline
In part seven I'm cutting out the top and back plates and getting them to the final outline. This is a slow and challenging process, the corners are particularly tricky. The goal is to make them look good but also to establish a cohesive shape for entire violin and have them match each other.
Enjoy!

Project | Building a Violin : Part 6, the tonewood
Просмотров 3484 месяца назад
In this installment, I'll be prepping the tonewood for making the violin top and back plates. The beautiful figured maple has some issues, but overall this step went pretty well. Enjoy!
Project | Building a Violin : Part 5, the garland
Просмотров 8004 месяца назад
In part five I'll be finishing the rib garland. Bending the remaining rib stock for the upper and lower bouts, making and installing the rib linings. Once this part is complete the outline of the violin is established and I can begin working on the tonewood for the top and back plates. Enjoy!
Project | Building a Violin : Part 4, the C-bouts
Просмотров 4504 месяца назад
In part four I'll be bending and gluing in the "C-bout" ribs, and trimming the blocks to their final shape. The bending can be a bit stressful as there's a possibility of breaking them in the process. First I'll need to bend and glue in the center ribs, then I can finalize the shape and dimensions of the blocks. Enjoy!
Project | Building a Violin : Part 3, the ribs
Просмотров 3514 месяца назад
In this third part I'm preparing the rib stock for making the violin outline. The ribs need to be thinned to roughly 1.1mm thick. The figured wood can make this a bit tricky as it likes to chip or tear out as the grain direction changes. Once they're thicknessed, they're layed out and cut to length for bending. Enjoy!
Project | Building a violin : Part 2, the blocks
Просмотров 4185 месяцев назад
In part two I'll be making the blocks, gluing them to the form and beginning to shape them. These blocks are used to attach the ribs (sides) around the form once they're carved to shape. The ribs are glued to the blocks, and then the basic outline of the violin body is done. The first step is to shape the "C-bouts" and glue in the center ribs, then the upper and lower bouts follow. Enjoy!
Project | Building a violin : Part 1, the form
Просмотров 4855 месяцев назад
I'm going to attempt to build a violin. It's an incredibly daunting project so I'm probably in over my skis...but why not give it a try? This is part one of...many I'm sure, it's quite a big project to take on. In this part I'm building the form. It's based off of the "Forma P" made in 1705 by Antonio Stradivari. I adjusted the outline a tad to make it symmetrical. Enjoy!
Project One | Platform Bed Build
Просмотров 756 месяцев назад
In this video I'm building a platform bed for my guest room out of common 2x6 lumber. I'm not much of a woodworker, or a videographer, but perhaps if I'm lucky, doing these projects will give me the opportunity to get better at both.

I want to make a lefty violin~
You should do it!
lindo trabalho
cant wait for the next video.
I know it's been a bit...unfortunately I haven't had much time to work on it this summer, but I'll be getting the next video posted as soon as I can.
Perfeito
Dzień dobry proszę pana, mam pytanie, ile czasu zajmuje zrobienie takich skrzypiec ? Dziękuję za odpowiedź i pozdrawiam.
Hello! Thank you for your comment. Because I am an amateur and I can only work on it in my free time, it will likely take me 6 months or more to build. A professional violin maker, who builds them full time can certainly do the work much faster, maybe in a few weeks or a month. I don't know for sure, but on average maybe something like 200-300 hours.
lovely work there Mike, what are the files you are using there,, i see them being used on violins but cant find them to buy..
Hello @kierannolan8859 thank you! Most of the files I'm using are Grobet files, I think you can find them on Amazon... of course Amazon has all the stuff. I use #0, #1, #2 and #4 files.
@@mikesdiyprojects Thanks Mike i will check them out, keep up the good work..
Hi Mike. I'm watching videos of him building the violin. I'm excited to see the next episodes. I'm also getting ready to build a violin. Where did you purchase this Forma P 1705 model? Thanks
Hi @MrSpeedeagle! The next episode is taking a while, it's a bit more complex and takes more time but I should have it ready soon! You can download several Stradivari form (and other) templates here: www.thestradsound.com/maestronet/stradivari-forma-by-addie I wish you the best of luck in your violin build, it's challenging but I'm really enjoying it. Thanks!
I never in my whole life imagined making my own violin 😭
You can do it!
Ot's the bealtifull works, congrats
Looking good, Mike! I just got a box with the wood for my first violin build today. 😀
Thanks Brian! I'm excited for you, I look forward to seeing you building your first violin!
Looking good! I'm looking forward to seeing you working on the plates.
Thank you @CooperViolins Yep probably 1 more video finishing the ribs then it'll be on to the plates. Exciting stuff!
Hi Mike, I'm an aspiring violinmaker in Texas. I haven't made my first yet, I'm in the furious research stage of being a beginner. Just wanted to say I'm enjoying following along with your process. I really like the way you're filming these. The editing and camera work is good, and the simple subtitles instead of narration feels really zen. I'm digging it!
Thank you Brian! There is a great deal to learn and research for sure, I'm a beginner myself and may not provide the best example but hopefully it will encourage you in your efforts and you'll be successful! Also thank you for your comment about the video and editing, another thing I'm in the process of learning as well. Best of luck to you! If you would like to see a real violin maker doing things properly, I would recommend watching Davide Sora's channel, it's incredibly helpful and he generously shows the process in great detail. www.youtube.com/@DavideSora
@@mikesdiyprojects Oh yes, I'm subscribed to Davide Sora's channel already. He has the most insanely thorough and detailed instructions I've seen anywhere online! I've been binge watching his videos for the last few months. 😀
Looking good!
Thanks Mike! Hopefully that will still be true when I start bending ribs...
Mike, your work is amazing!! 🤩 ❤
Thank you so much 😀
