I used to use templates, they’re very helpful when you’re starting out. but any more I just use a profile gauge to make sure it’s symmetrical. I lost the video of finishing the arch ( bad sd card) it will be a while before I make another violin. I’m happy to answer questions though.
Just found you. I watch a mountain of utube and you are now in my top five
Fascinating process
Thank you so much for sharing this informative video ! please keep up !🌹
Great videos thanks , looking forward to part 3 . Do you use arching templates to get the shape of the front and back ? Thanks

@@lukeheatonatwhittlesticks1711 thanks for your reply Luke . I’m making my first violin and have come to the arching stage and will use templates . 🙂🎻
The hours mount…. Hence the cost seems staggering here in 2023
