I was totally fascinated by this video. It inspired me to look for courses in which you can learn how to make them and this is without a doubt something I'm going to attend in the future. :)

I've seen quite a few of these but never get tired of seeing them. Thanks for the post.

Fascinating stuff to watch, Denny, as always.

That was an awesome video, did not realize how much work went into making a violin by hand.

I have been Looking around for information on this subject. It seems if you live in the states and do not have any in's with anyone who is already a luthier its hard to get started. I cant seem to find any tool or wood vendors in the state of Minnesota, It may vary but that is what i didnt find.
