This is part nine of this Sitka Violin series. I am making a violin from the local woods of Sitka Alaska. Should be a fun build!

Holy cow, Daniel, all the thought process that goes into making an instrument. I love the mini router tool makes sense. Also love the looks of the ash, that's going to be beautiful
It's a fun one. Just wait till you see the inlay!!!
Great story!
I love the fact that you incorporate up-to-date tools and techniques to accomplish the end result. Those poor folks a couple of hundred years ago that used only hand tools.
“Remarkably Bright Creatures” is one of my favorite audio books.
Nice. I will look it up.
Having done perfling on guitars that I have made, I can appreciate your exacting work Dan! BRAVO! 👍👍
Thanks! It is kinda fun on the right day.
That back, looks like a topo map. I like it.
sure does! I like the way it looks too.
Wait until you see the inlay on the back; it will blow your socks off!
Thank you Daniel. My mind tends to drift when I'm listening to audio books, especially if I'm involved in something. I'm trying to teach myself electronics as a retirement project and that takes some thought. I prefer to listen to music either from my library or on the radio or do things in silence and listen to the wind pass from one ear to the other :) I have a really tough time reading, but I love it and prefer to it to audio books in general. 📖
I totally get that! I am a huge music fan myself. I like to listen to audio books that are just fluffy while doing stuff like this. I grew up reading Clive Cussler books, which are fun to listen to. Doesn't take super focus.
Thanks Daniel I listen to mostly podcasts or my favorite books on audio are Harry potter and i'm 66 but enjoy the story.
Oh the Harry Potter audio books are fantastic! I enjoyed those a lot. I listen to a lot of podcasts as well. 99% invisible, wait wait don't tell me, nice try, and articles of interest top my list.
Fra greaking out.
Hey Dan (may I call you Dan? After that episode, it feels like we should all call you Dan for one episode...) anyway... You know that thing you're doing in your shop with your tools making those things you make and sharing them with all of us? Yeah, I don't think you're doing it right... How brazen of some people. The only thing that really got to me was that you said it was a Dremel and it was CLEARLY a RIGID rotary tool, or maybe a B&D or Wen, either way it was orange. Ha! Thanks for the continuing journey, looking forward to part 10. Cheers! JB
Haha!! I guess it's like frisbee or bandaid. I think Dremel is close to loosing its brand name as a tool name vs a rotary tool. (some call me Dan but my friends call me Daniel...so call me Daniel since we are buddies now)
@@JDanielGraham Ha! Sounds good, Daniel. And I'm Josh to my friends. I appreciate the good cheer!
This episode was way fun to watch! I agree with your philosophy on using a blend of power and hand tools. Frankly, the proof is in the pudding, or this case, the violin. I listen to a ton of podcasts, which often lead to an audiobook. The last book I listened to was To Dye For by Alden Wicker. I think this book is a must-read, especially for young women.
I got your email about it! Super interesting. Going to give it a listen.
Oh have you listened to the "articles of interest" podcast. It might be an interesting pairing from the dye book. The one on pockets was great!
I haven't, but I will.@@JDanielGraham
I listened to the episode on pockets, I knew about all the stuff Thomas Jefferson carried in his pockets, but I didn't know much else about pockets. Thanks for the recommendation!@@JDanielGraham
Currently listening to My Effin' Life by Geddy Lee.
nice! I'll look that one up.
Hard Ash…I am thinking a new shirt design could be in your future…
Thats great!
In art, which intrument making falls, there is no "right way" as long as it works. The one calling on using "traditional tools/methods" are just stuck in the past. Sometimes the old methods are better, but then they are just the best way to do it. And more often than not power tools and computers are waaay better, and/or more efficient.
Wrong/right way is very subjective. Don't be a jerk and impose your views on others.
Couldn't agree more.
