Thanks Matthew

Wouldn't you have to be careful not to cut into the top of the violin? :

David Burgess is one of the world's leading contemporary violin makers. If says that's the most manly way to do it, it must be so.

Likewise, Expat Aussie Peter Goodfellow is inventing more manly ways to exercise his trade

I never realised violin making was such a macho pursuit.
Thanks for that Matthew.

I,ve seen something similar to the second Video before , cept it was on guy from work's an i phone and instead of a violin ther was another implement, mmmmmmm anyway I think the were trying to fitt a bridge to the lady in the video... .

I think the bloke going at the violin with the recipro saw might be more interested in helping me with some foundations we are digging at the moment, we need someone on the end of a 75 kilo rock breaker for a day, that should get all that pent up macho shit out of him
Cheers yoall!!!

I liked how the Strad label inside the violin was blue haha

The second video is a faaaaar better system, you can fit the bridge & buff the rear of the body & peg head at the same time.

I like the guy that carves the violin back with a chainsaw, he's even more macho than Simso's mate with the belt sander and what's more, i reckon he could've done a nicer job on the cello with the Husquvana than the guy with the belt sander
