Because of various minor projects taking up time, I have not done any work on the violin in a few
weeks. This past Wednesday, I finally got back to it. I sanded down the corner blocks and laid
out the neck. The ribs are also trimmed to the correct width, so this coming week I will bend
them and glue them onto the blocks. Hopefully I'll also have time to cut the neck out and drill
the peg holes.
The neck sides are not perpendicular. I know this is the traditional
format, but for me it's an inconvenience. Therefore, I temporarily glued a wedge to one side so
that when I rough out the form on the bandsaw I will get a perpendicular cut.
