Brilliant work and information as usual Graham, the wood arrived here today for my first attempt at making a Violin, keep up the good work, Stay Safe there.
Fantastic news Kieran, however I must warn you it’s addictive. Hopefully you might post pictures of your progress. My health and safety advice is keep both hands behind the cutting edge when using sharp objects, if the chisel slips😢 Take care
Thank you David, much appreciated. Do subscribe (or maybe you have, hard for me to tell with UA-cam!) to follow this violin as it progresses. Cheers, Graham.
Nice video Graham, i though it a very good idea using a beer can to make templates. I was using a compass to mark various diameter circles and then connecting them up with a flexible straight edge. I will be following your method in future, a much quicker process, thanks for demonstrating it.
That's kind of you to say. I try to have as much freedom as possible in the making so that each violin is different. If I'd used a load of jigs these two scrolls would have been the same, and that's not my intention. I think it's that individuality that buyers seek, owners cherish and as you say, it brings me joy!!
Thank you so much Jackie. Sometimes I wonder why I do this, and then a little message like yours reminds me! Do subscribe, there'll be more. Thank you.
Graham, it is a pleasure to watch you work. I was wondering if you would venture a guess of some particulars about how you would build a Appalachian Dulcimer. What would you do different from traditional builds. I understand that this is not your field of expertise so feel free to have a large draft first if that suits. Your insights are fascinating. Chéers. An American fan.
I see that as a seperate job, but if you think people would like to see that being done I can add it to the list! Hope you enjoyed the video nonetheless.
So what's the hardest wood natively found in England? Would that make legit fingerboard material? I've been looking at the same for USA, and some woods here can get quite hard. Black Ironwood, a relative of the olive tree, gets to a janka of 3660.
Hi Graham, I have a quick query! My Italian violin scroll's a little too big! is this normal, I saw the average length or height of the scroll is 108cm. Mine is 108.9 nearly 109cm. When I compare it to my friend's violin scroll it seems to be like a viola scroll because it is bigger but of course when I compare it the viola it is smaller. Are there makers who intentionally do this? thanks in advance
Realised I’d missed this question…. I think people get tied up by standard figures. Do you like the size of your scroll? That’s the only thing that matters.

Enjoyable to watch, the joy of a sharp tool on wood. Thanks for the shoulder view.

Ooohh! Sounds exciting. I look forward to seeing progress!

Yes, if you tend to have a similar starting point for all your scrolls (as I do) it saves hours!!
incredible craftsmanship-you do everything freehand! must be a joy to create something so beautiful

Amazing job!
Thank you!
Hi Graham, I really get a lot out of your videos starting out with violin making. Cheers!
Hi Philip, thank you - that's very much appreciated. Keep in touch, it'll be interesting to see how you progress. Cheers, Graham.

Hi Keith, thanks for your kind words. Appalachian Dulcimer - interesting proposition, let me have a think!
استاد بزرگ متشکرم از آموزشتون❤❤❤
متشکرم، خیلی خوش آمدید.
You should have made a follow up to include the pegbox.
I see that as a seperate job, but if you think people would like to see that being done I can add it to the list! Hope you enjoyed the video nonetheless.
@@grahamvincentviolins Of course I enjoyed the video, which is why I was disappointed when it finished 😄(and I still subscribed)

Hi, English boxwood seems the obvious choice and has been used many times. It's a wonderful wood. Janka 2850 ish. Hard enough.
Thx for the movie....
Thank you!
