Thanks everyone for the kind words, I'm definitely no pro I'm just taking my time and following any guidance I can find from books and the internet.
McCreed I started learning 6 months ago (and I'm already better at Violin than I am at guitar haha).
As requested here is the rib bending jig.
Before using it the first time I cranked up the heat to burn some of the galvanising off so I wasn't exposed to fumes when working.
Frankenwashie I want to do a 335 copy or PRS Hollow Body copy as well. But I have my scratch Tele to repaint, the Strat to sand and clear coat, this Violin to work on and I'm embarking shortly on making a Maloof style rocking chair so who knows when I will get time haha.
