Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.
Hi Workdesk friends.
We are here for another Wednesday at the Workdesk and here is:
"What's on my Workdesk this Wednesday".
If you don't know what this is all about then please visit the Stamping Ground, our host Julia will explain.
It's been a sad time here in the Uk with the death of our much loved queen but I have managed a bit of time for some crafting. It's a good way to escape for a while.
So here is my desk for today! It's a bit photo heavy but promised to show you the process of the MDF violin so you only have yourselves to blame Lol!
More from the Cabin desk today.
The Violin contiues to make progress and here's where I'm up to.
But if you missed last week which was the start you can find it here:
It's time to start putting everything together.
These side pieces will conect the top and bottom body sections
and it looks like this.
If you plan to leave the sides open you would have decortated the inside before adding these side and top pieces but that's not my plan.
I'm putting the Scroll and the Fingerboard together while I wait for the main section to dry. This is not a project that can be rushed.
The next part is to attach the sides usually known as the Rib. I've used some card from old postage envelopes, 'waste not want not' as they say.
My tip for adding card to a curved surface like this is to roll it around a rolling pin or something similar before attaching it.
You can see here how the Chin rest and the Tailpiece will fit in place but that's for later.
From there I've started decorating the sides which I wanted to be textured so I've used some screwed up tissue paper which was actually the wrapping for the kit so more chance to use it rather than lose it. Gel medium is best for attaching this.
All ready for the next stage.
These little pieces are the pegs.
Which fit into the Scroll and hold the strings.
I think that's enough for today and hope to have got a bit further by next week fingers crossed!
I know that some of you were hoping it might play when finished but I can reasure you it will only be decorative which I'm sure my neighbours will be happy to hear!
So that's me done for today.

Wow Angela, that’s quite a thing! Gracious you do like a project, I’m excited to see what you’re going to decorate with, it’ll be amazing. MeBart made a real violin some years ago, to see if he could. We had to take it to a music shop to see if it was a good sound though, neither of us play! The guy 8n the shop said it was good. And from that day to this, it’s been ornamental!!
Hi Angela. Oh my word. You have really done so much already... how big is the violin? Full size, half size? tiny? It is going to be amazing when all finished. Well done.
Take care. God bless.
