Inna 27-April-2004 - 23:49:32 I play it and it is so wonderful! cosy 06-June-2005 - 19:30:11 there is a new solution ;), by using CAD/CAM mediums. I project a violin in Catia v5 and then I execute the top plate and back plate on a CNC mill. I have attached to my draw a small database from where I can modify these plate how I want... the process for a plate takes me about 3 hours... but I have the mm precision... jerry 17-February-2009 - 15:55:49 Thanks for a great site :-) Two small comments - the measurements page doesn't indicate whether metric or imperial measurements - that has to be inferred from the numbers, and no length is given for the linings (pre bent) - this would be useful information for the beginning builder |
