Today I cut out the second ff-hole. Nothing too special there. In one spot I sawed to the line. I hope it didn't go much too far. Both ff-holes are now roughly sawn out. I stayed pretty close to the line when sawing so that I don't have all that much to clean up with the knife. The next thing on the front plate is to bring it to final thickness and so finish the graduation. After the graduation is done I will then finalise the ff-holes. The front is starting to look like a cello top! I also made a small knife for refining the ff-holes. I took the measurements for #VK025R from www.hocktools.com/products/knives.html. I made the blade from a piece of O2 steel which I bought with my last order from Dictum. I got the idea for making my own knives from Uri Tuchman, for example Making a Tree Shaped Kiridashi. Look also for other videos by Uri, he has some great projects.
