Making the F Holes of the Violin

[@littleeaglewoodworks]

Amazing work! I am taking on the challenge of teaching myself so that I can build my daughter a violin .

[@MekwokStudio]

Thanks! And Good to hear that! How are you plan to do that?

⁠@@MekwokStudio I’m currently a woodworker, but honestly I’m just absorbing as much knowledge as I can from luthiers such as yourself about wood selection, forms, shaping to tone the wood correctly, … and so much more. I come from a musical family (my father is a Persian percussionist) and my children have found their love in music themselves. My daughter is currently using a rental 1/2 violin and my goal is to make her 4/4 violin.

@littleeaglewoodworks Nice, you still have sometime before she needs a 4/4. I have some free guides on my website, see if they will be helpful to you!

[@littleeaglewoodworks]

@@MekwokStudio thank you so much. I will go there and look.

Hello , i hope you are well. I have some questions: How do you know where place de circles for the f-holes? What are the guide? Thank for your answer.

Hello ! How did you calculate the exact place of F-holes ? Thank you !

[@MekwokStudio]

From the top of the plate, the center seam and the purflings.

[@sm9846]

unfortunately you did not answer my question ! I mean what did you do for finding the accurate place for F-holes and what are your measurements from the top of the plate ? what are the usage of those circles that you drew ? how did you find the accurate place for eyes of F holes ?

hello everything is fine? Your work is really cool... I'm Brazilian and I translated it using Google so it might not be correct lol, I'm a violist and I make some adjustments to my instrument but I want to start in the area of ​​luthiery but I'm going to learn everything online... where Can I get the measurements for construction?
