I was going to post this within the CB fiddle group, but thought it really might be of interest to many other builders as well.
This is a series of videos, documenting the building of some traditional violin family instruments. It isnt step by step instruction or anything, but I felt it held some highlights and moments of great interest.
It gets kind of "artsy" in its presentation, but its well worth the time if you are at all interested in this type of thing. Ever see someone whittle a real violin from a pile of wood?
Tip: I have posted this as a link that will automatically play the 19 videos. It is long, I believe about 70 minutes in all. Unless you are into classical music you may wish to stop after #15. In fact, some people may want to turn the sound off and watch it to their favorite music, since there is no narration, just video set to music.

Thanks for the link, I had seen some of this but no the whole set. I will never get into the craft to that degree, but it is fascinating to watch a master at work. Good technigue is very applicable to the CGB and is well demonstrated in your work.
I found another video that fits right in here, it is much shorter (19 Min) and far less "artsy".
The host Roy Underhill is a bit quirky and the guest isnt real comfortable making his rushed presentation, but this somehow still oddly fills some of the "gaps" in the previous video series.
Enjoy!
