How To Make A PVC Violin Part 1 of 3

Hello and welcome to part 1 of my 3 part video series on how to make a pvc pipe violin. Before you start building I'd suggest that you watch all three videos and read the parts and tool list and have a very good understanding about what your going to do- also don't be afraid to try things differently then I did in the video because that's the fun part about this stuff coming up with new creative ideas and things.

Parts: (Sorry if I missed something in these lists)
Set of tuning pegs and an end pin.
5.5" x 1" piece of pipe for the chin rest
12" x 1" piece of pipe for the finger board
2" x 1" piece of pipe for the bridge
5" x 1" piece of pipe for the tail piece
2.5' x .5" piece of pipe for the neck
3.5-4" x .5" two pieces of pipe for the body
.5" tee for the body
.5" two caps for the body
2" screws two of them for mounting shin rest
50lb test fishing line for strings
30lb test fishing line for strings
15lb test fishing line for strings
8lb test fishing line for strings
Optional Set of violin strings.

Always Buy 10' Sticks of pipe because you will want to experiment and sometimes you run into problems.

Tools: (Sorry if I missed something in these lists)
Stove for bending the neck and body
Toaster Oven for bending the tail piece, chinrest, finger board, and bridge.

Warning- this can be hazardous, takes tons of patients, gets frustrating at times, and can be exhausting. Also that this takes time it's not something you can do in one day.
