June 24, 20232 yr I stumbled across this fellow and love what he does for DIY shop implements. I thought I'd post it here to give some folks inspiration, this fellow is brilliant in his planing. Have fun! Also, you can go to his YouTube channel and see how he builds this masterpiece, and many of his other jigs and holders and home made this and that. Here is his channel: Paoson Woodworking, he is a luthier like our own @Woodman. One thing I noticed about Woodman and other luthier's is they are very meticulous and clean with their work, and it makes sense, to build intricate pieces like violins and such, requires a meticulous mindset and surroundings. Also, here is Paoson's website, looks like he'll sell you the plans for the masterpiece work station. He also has quite a few freebies too!

Sub-millimeter fitting of parts is loose; exact fitting is required for most components. A violin target weight is one pound / 454 grams; no screws, pins, nails, all wood and hide glue; 80 pounds of tension from the strings, plus the player's passion and abuse! The luthier table itself, well, it can get a bit barnyard-like in both looks and smell.
