  • A condensed version of the sculpture of the arching of the violin top plate. The edge outline finish and the purfling inlay are not included to save time, also because they are not strictly related to the arching.
    Una versione condensata della scultura della bombatura della tavola di violino. La finitura del contorno del bordo e l'intarsio del filetto non sono inclusi per risparmiare tempo, anche perché non sono strettamente correlati alla bombatura.

    Hello. I thank you so much for sharing with us this art of violin making. Your work is very clean and looks so nice. After watching a lot of videos, and reading a very old book to collect informations I have made my first violin. Honestly I made a lot of mistakes, but at the end it looks and sound same compared to my entry level student violin. I made French polish varnish. It took me around 10 months to complete (worked on it only few hours per week). I completed the violin ribs for my second violin. I hope I will do better, this is why I'm again here and watching you working. Thanks again

    Идеальная форма и отличные переходы!
    Может быть на основании идеального образца сделать гипсовую форму каждой деки (предварительно деку обернуть пищевой плёнкой)?!
    А далее с помощью гипсовой формы и сурика ускорить процесс подгонки дек до заданных параметров?

      Thank you!
      Making a plaster cast would be too laborious and time-consuming for the benefits it would bring me. In reality, the arching is often modified depending on the wood used, and therefore it is not necessary for it to always be precisely the same. Most of the time these aren't significant changes, but they are there. I have a pair of original Stradivari arching plaster casts that inspire me, but especially for the distribution and fluidity of the curves, rather than for reproducing their shape exactly.

    What wood is that? It literally looks like you're cutting a potato it's so soft.

      Spruce or Abeto. the traditional christmas tree in Europe

    • @DavideSora
      @DavideSora  3 роки тому +4

      Yes, the wood used for the top plate is Spruce. It is a relatively soft wood, as it is composed of hard fibers (autumn / late growth) alternating with softer fibers (summer / early growth). This makes it a "composite material" with excellent lightness and stiffness properties optimal for acoustic performance.

      Io realizzo da me tutti i miei modelli e forme, questi che ti ho indicato non li possiedo e non posso garantire per la loro accuratezza, ma se sei alle prime armi penso che potrebbero andare. La cosa migliore è farsi i modelli personalmente, ricavandoli dalle immagini riportate su poster tipo questo : www.thestradshop.com/store/thestrad/antonio-stradivari-titian-violin-1715-poster/

    7:02 - 7:08 - how did those double lines appear? I see that detail on violins (I don't make violins, plenty of other instruments though) and wonder if it's a laminate or a surface detail, it's clearly the latter but I'm wondering how you score it so perfectly.

      its called purfling. its made carving the plate with a tiny knife. I dont know how to tell the process in english, so there's a video that explains it: ua-cam.com/video/aubta7Feqp4/v-deo.html

    • @DavideSora
      @DavideSora  3 роки тому +1

      The purfling is made from three strips of wood glued together (black / white / black) and inlaid in the plates. You can see all the videos on the purfling in this playlist : ua-cam.com/video/5O5wpNYJstk/v-deo.html

    The tool used to draw in min 10:00 compare the thickness with the other side? Or is it just a handle for the pencil? I don't think it's just a handler haha

    • @DavideSora
      @DavideSora  3 роки тому

      😊
      The other side is simply flat, so it can rest against the flat side of the arching (which is not yet hollowed out inside) ensuring that it maintains the perpendicularity of the pencil, which would be more difficult to maintain if there was a single point of support, as found in other similar tools with the same purpose that can be found on the market

    at 1:21 i see flat surface of the top, are their specific measurements of the flat surface? and why is their a flat surface? sorry for sounding so dumb.

    • @DavideSora
      @DavideSora  Рік тому

      I'm not sure what flat surface you're referring to. If you mean the wide one in the center of the plate, it's simply planed down and still plenty compared to the final measurements. If you're referring to the plane around the edges instead, you can see it better at a more advanced stage here: ua-cam.com/video/hJkWcu1ir5w/v-deo.html

    • @mkdijkstra4855
      @mkdijkstra4855 Рік тому

      i mean , if you stop the video at 1:21, i just see a flat surface in the middle of the violin top, from top to bottom, (flattened surface), the surface were you can see (i believe digits)

    • @DavideSora
      @DavideSora  Рік тому +3

      @@mkdijkstra4855 Now I get it.
      The wide flat you see on the top is made with a hand plane to quickly reduce the thickness of the plate to about 1 mm more than the intended finished size. all the flat area is brought to the same thickness (parallel to the bottom plane) so that it provides a reference for symmetry and height during roughing.
      The initial stages of preparing a plate are:
      1_gluing the two pieces (central joint)
      2_flattening of the bottom (inside) plane
      3_planing of the top (outside) part parallel to the bottom plane by adjusting the height and thickness, which is the flat plane you are referring to
