News From The Workshop: graduating the front plate of the fiddle

So here is where I am in real world time. I´ve just finished the graduation of the top. Here the problem was that some parts were to thin, so I can only try to make it as close as possible to the desired thickness and hopefully it´ll be "good enough"
The top I´´ve put upside down on the back and sides and with the small thumb planes and a scraper, I´m taking the plates down to the desired thickness, taking care that it´ll be thin enough all the way out towards the edge. On the photo you can see a Hacklinger guide which i use for checking the thickness while I work.
I can feel that this will be a fast build. I want to play......
