Building a Cello

Edgework and refining the neck

Today I wanted to get both the body and the neck more refined before glueing them together. I had already rounded out the corner of the edges towards the ribs. Now I did the outer edge. The idea is to first make a bevel with a shallow angle, followed up with a second one with a steeper angle and then smooth the bevels with some sand paper. At first I wondered why it is done this way but I think I realised it while doing it. Making a bevel is pretty straightforward, and if the lights are correctly set one sees very clearly the flat bevel created. It is then quite easy to make sure that both the bevel angle and the width of the bevel stays constant.

After having done the back and front edges I started also refining the neck. I sawed off some extra material from the heel and also started shaping.

    My son is outgrowing his cello soon. Could there be a better reason to learn how to make one :).
