		<description><![CDATA[My latest viola is coming along  at a good pace considering I&#8217;ve only been working on it 2 days a week on average.

The F holes are carved.

I graduated the top.

And now the bassbar is fitted and glued!  The whole body should be done by the end of the month.

		<description><![CDATA[One jig that I&#8217;ve been meaning to make since I first used it at school is this:
It&#8217;s a jig that holds your plate so you can rough gouge out the inside.  The beauty of this jig is that it also hold the plate up high enough so that you can get your caliper in to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve started working on my 12th instrument, a 15 1/2&#8243; viola of my own pattern.  The spruce plate held a surprise once I cut it open.
A branch was hidden on the inside of the plate.  Thankfully the majority of it I was able to cut out, but a small piece of it ended up [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve started a new flickr account that has all my recent photos from the workshop.  I&#8217;m noticing I&#8217;ve taken a lot of pictures of scrolls.  Scrolls are very pretty and photogenic but in the latest instrument I&#8217;m making I&#8217;ll take more pictures of how the rest of the instrument is made.
There&#8217;s also quite a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lot of change has been happening lately.  I&#8217;ve obviously neglected my website over the past year but that doesn&#8217;t mean I stopped doing repair work or building.  I&#8217;ve done another sound post patch, learned how to really dress a finger board, how to do varnish retouching well enough so you can&#8217;t tell there was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the first week in November I attended the Violin Society of America conference in Cleveland.  In short, it was awesome.
Now for the longer version.
The VSA has conferences yearly, but every other year has a competition.  Any maker, amateur or professional, can submit their violin, viola, cello, bass or any of their corresponding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
From beginning to end this one took about 18months but it’s finally varnished, set up and playable.  If I do say so myself, it sounds lovely.
Some background on Opus #9: it was my graduation exam instrument from the Chicago School of Violin Making (http://www.csvm.org/).  I made the viola in its entirety and set it up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well the past six weeks were a bit annoying and physically uncomfortable.  Since I couldn’t do any repair work besides the odd small retouch job here or there I became the shop’s janitor/administrative assistant.  The shops’ one handed janitor/administrative assistant.
I dusted, vacuumed, wiped and scrubbed out dirt and dust that the shop has produced from [...]]]></description>

I was even putting extra hours in at the shop for the first time in ages.  On Saturday July 3 I finished the rib assembly and had put in and trimmed the first set of linings.  A perfect pausing point, because my boss would [...]]]></description>

In the past few months I’ve been caught up learning more of the ins and outs of repair.  I’ve struggled with doing a cello neck set ‘my bosses way’, I’ve learned how to flatten twisted necks and fingerboards (see photo above: heating and flattening of a viola neck), and I’m well on my way to [...]]]></description>
