Looks like you did a great job restoring the violin - very well done! It takes a lot of skill to correctly repair a stringed instrument especially a violin as a small mistake can ruin the sound. My grandfather, a retired stationary engineer at our local steel plant and a rough, hard drinking guy to boot retired and went down to his tiny basement workshop where he made nine beautiful and sought after violins......amazing I thought. All his forms and clamps and handmade planes and everything else went to my niece's husband who makes custom guitars so it's all in a good place. Keep up the good work as it will be hugely satisfying down the road.
