Carbon Fibre violin ( Build 2 )
so my first ever violin got good reports back from the professional players its time to start on my second one , once again from scratch , but a little bit wiser
Once again it starts with a plan , whats changed (since the last violin )
To make the moulds using a cnc machine , not hand carved out of wax
Use a non stick mould material , "polypropylene sheet" should work well
Polish those moulds so a finished product comes off them with out any mould release
use the cnc machine to draw perf lines , was thinking of finishing the first one in a perlex resin
and cut out the peace's using the cnc
and put a scroll on it
any one who missed my 1st Carbon fibre violin ,its here > https://www.woodworkforums.com/f98/vi...cratch-110427/
so first up is to draw a violin in Turbo CAD ( not that easy )
here is where im at ( pic below ) , have the shape drawn out added the curves and are now laying the mesh over the curves
yer like my first one , this will take a while :2tsup:
