Violin Nicolo: Scraping a living, Scraping by; thoughts that swirl through my mind as I work the minute pieces of wood removed or smoothed in the scrapping process. Micheal Darnton stated that violin making is the process of picking the biggest tool that will do the job, up until the point where you are going to mess things up badly. Then pick a finer tool. Scrapers are not the last items in our toolbox. From scrapers
we go to Equisetum a plant that contains tiny bits of silicon on its stocks, and then we move to dry stiff brushes. Successive refinement.
