Consider what the folks who advance this argument are saying. To quote fully from AutoDesk co-founder John Walker's Reading Unedited Text : ' the Internet is a dynamic medium there's no time to carefully proofread text before posting it. "My friend and I attempted to make a cello-these are the results" or "My friend and I are attempting to make a cello and this will be a documentation of the results" might be better depending on when the text is being written. and here were the results." Here we have a confusion between present tense "attempting" and past tense "here were". They could have easily started with the first sentence "So i'm attempting to make a cello with my friend. I despair that so many "Instructables" are so poorly written and by no means is this one the worst I've seen but it is above average (or should that be below average?) Previous commenters have pointed out the usage of "finishing line" instead of "fishing line" and "table saw" instead of "scroll saw" (with the ubiquity of Google or Bing search it should take seconds to find out the right term) in this document. We had to created two different instruments of different registers, take a sound physics test, play Canon in D by Pachelbel, compose an original piece of music, and play both pieces. This cello was constructed for a retired Science Olympiad event called Sounds of Music.
All the pieces were glued together using wood glue, with hot glue where needed, or with deck screws. The Fingerboard was created (see above)ġ0. Note that the pegs are lubricated with graphite and/or bow rosin to control its coefficient of friction.ĩ. The scrolls and peg box were simplified for ease of construction. Creating the bridge was a bit more involved, I had to borrow a table saw and a belt sander from my school’s woodshop.Ĩ. I cut out two f-holes onto the faceplate using a power drill and handheld jig saw.ħ. I soaked the plywood in water overnight, this unorthodox method surprisingly worked! You will notice that the veneer of the plywood peels off.Ħ. Taking the leftover wood (save the planet!) I cut out the bouts (sides) of the cello.ĥ. Using these blanks, I copied them onto two sheets of plywood.Ĥ. Once plans were obtained, I mapped out a blank of the faceplates.ģ. Plans and measurements are readily accessible on the internetĢ. Construction began with finding dimensions. Relatively muffled but plays well for a homemade instrumentġ.
Metal Bar: I used a metal bar for the area where the fingerboard met the peg box. Tuners: An L-bracket, a washer, and a screw. Strings: Stock cello strings bought from local music store. Fingerboard: unknown, scrap railing found at Home Depot Body: plywood (not the most traditional material I can readily admit) My friend and I attempted to build a cello for my 9th grade Science Olympiad Sounds of Music competition-these are the results. *Updated 12/13/15 I apologize for any trauma orīodily harm inflicted by my 9th grade grammar
