The provided diagram illustrates manual process of making a violin, with each image showcasing a step in the task.
First, the maker starts off by sawing out the front and back of the main body on a thin piece of wood and then goes in with a cutting tool to carefully carve in the f-holes on the front panel. Then, the bass bar is attached in-between the two f-holes via glue. Using a heating tool strips of metal, that will eventually become the ribs of the violin, are moulded into their desired shapes. After that, the front panel, the back panel, and the now formed ribs are all adhered to one another via glue again and form the main body of the violin.
Once the neck has been made and secured at the top, along with various other additional pieces such as the bridge, strings, and pegs, the maker then goes over the entire instrument with varnish to protect it from wear and tear from repeated usage in the future.
