I'm making a violin. I've been a programmer for just over 25 years, and recently decided I wanted to leave the profession. So I'm planning on attending the Violin Making School of America in the fall, and my project before then is to build a violin myself. There are some good in-depth video tutorials, as well as some famous books on the subject, and I'm planning to pair up with an amateur luthier in my town. The tonewood I purchased just arrived!
