Doran violins - blog

I found a new site where there is some information on cello making. This one is by Michael Doran of www.doranviolins.com. I came by his blog when looking for some more references for the cello rib thicknesses, www.doranviolins.com/workbench/rib-structure-pt-1/. There isn't a lot of new information in the blog but it is an interesting read anyways. What I like about cello making is that everybody goes about it in a slightly different way, seems like no two luthiers do it the same. Michael uses a toothed blade on his plane when thicknessing the ribs, and sometimes leaves some marks on the ribs as he has seen on some old cellos.
