geoffbassist Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 [quote name='owen' timestamp='1380924662' post='2232612'] There is very little that would give me more satisfaction than building my own DB. Sadly I am very aware of my lutherie skills and it is something which will never happen. [/quote] I have much the same thoughts Owen. I would love to be able to work on basses as I'm so interested in it. However I'm terrible at this stuff. This is a great thread to follow, I will really enjoy seeing how it turns out.

benbastin Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 So made some progress recently on both the violin and the bass. On the double bass the C curves have been Bent and glued in. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60334748@N02/10418121485/in/set-72157635031167744 http://www.flickr.com/photos/60334748@N02/10418132955/in/set-72157635031167744 And the violin is being varnished. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60334748@N02/10418062133/in/set-72157636122476095 There are more photos on flickr and they should appear on the scrolling thing in the first post. Hope you enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry norton Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I like those stepped clamping blocks you used to glue in the c bouts. I'm going to have to make me a couple of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I wouldn't have gone with violin corners - mine get caught in my trouser pockets! Looking great so far though, wish I had those skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
