Violin vice.
Violin vice.
Just finished a violin vice/clamp based on a series of photos of a device made by Stephen Churchill, an American violin maker.
Seems to be functioning OK ; about to start my first solo - without my tutor breathing down my neck - neck mortise...bit nervous, hope I've measured it correctly.

Re: Violin vice.
Looks good. Im assuming it’s clapped to the bench? Where did you hide the clamp?
make mine fifths........
Re: Violin vice.
It’s funny that was what I thought. (As in clamping to the bench)
I guess we always try to imagine how we would use such a jig in practical terms.
I imagine getting instrument supples is pretty difficult where you are....?
I have great admiration for anyone who can do the carving of things like violins or arch top guitars. It is hard enough getting The plates of ordinary guitars right.
Cheers Dave
