Summary: I help my mentor to make a violin neck and a violin scroll during the process. We use a piece of maple wood to make a violin neck and violin scroll. I use a pencil to copy the shape from a model and use a band saw to cut the outline of the violin scroll and violin neck. Then I use a small saw and a chisel to shape the details of the violin scroll and dig a peg box. The last step is making a fingerboard on the violin neck, the fingerboard is made of ebony wood, and the tool is a plane.
In the presentation, I explain the history, the structure and famous violin makers. Six important components of a violin which are front plate, back plate, ribs, linings violin neck and violin scroll. I briefly explain the structures of first four components, and then focus on my experience of making the violin neck and violin scroll.
