Using cabinet rasp begin to round the underside of the neck. Drill out holes for the pegs, 5 mm diameter (a bench/pillar dill ensures the holes are aligned) 3. Cut the side view out using a band saw (easiest option) 2. It makes it a lot easier to figure out what order you need to do things in. When I did mine I did two practices before starting on the maple. Softer woods can split easily and this can make the carving process harder. Harder wood is better as it is easier to carve without large 'chunks' coming off. I would recommend finding an old bit of wood to practice on. This part of the violin is quite tricky to get right. This is really useful for producing accurate templates for cutting around. However, a very simple way of drawing 2D models accurately is using Microsoft Word and adjusting the lengths etc. Google sketch up, Autodesk 123D, AutoCAD (30 Autodesk programs are available if you are student, ).

I used Solidworks but there are plenty of free programs out there e.g.

Any 3d imaging software is useful to produce accurate designs.
I used computer software to model several parts of the violin. It is dimensionally accurate and is available to be downloaded in the following location. Update: I have recently done a basic model of this in CAD. The basic plan for this one came from tracing around a friends violin, (a very simple way to get started!). It has all the dimensions needed, the techniques for getting the correct finish and much more. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make a violin, be it acoustic or electric. The main book I used to make this was the Fiddlemaker's Worksheets by William K. The neck, fingerboard and pegs are explained further on.
I aimed to try to use as few power tools as possible. The body was then shaped using a variety of hand tools. It was cut out using a band saw and a scroll saw, (I went through a fair few scroll saw blades!). The body is made from a solid piece of maple. It could have probably been done a lot quicker but exams and school got in the way. I eventually finished it in November of last year after a two year build. The body and neck are solid maple and the darker wood is mahogany. This electric skeleton violin uses a piezoelectric pickup.
