In the month of September, I began working on my violin again. I had put it off for well over a year because I began getting a lot of custom woodcraft and repair projects to do. I have backed off seeking new projects in order to work on the violin. Since the last post years ago, I have finished carving the violin plates, have carved the f-holes and have cut the channels for the purfling. This is a picture of the setup I used to cut the channels using a Dremel tool and 1.3 mm channel cutting bit. It was extremely scary to do. I thought it best to immobilize the tool and move the plates with both hands. I was successful in cutting the channels in both plates with no mistakes!
