Thanks! There are already some really good books in the DIY style, such as Courtnall & Johnson "The Art of Violin Making", but I think my photo sequence is more detailed than the sequence given on books.

Now this is a violin.... I know that you said that most of the time you make Violas. I doubt that there is little difference, other than size, in making them?
