Ten minutes may be said to be the average time that this performance takes, and in the majority of cases is thought to be a good one. But not so by a really competent, painstaking repairer. From his view this operation is to be one of the most cautiously conducted ones in the whole series of joinings in connection with the repairing or constructing of the violin.
The main room possessed tables obviously made by expert carpenters, and a roomy bench, with a sloping back, that went round two sides of the apartment.

James retires with the upper table to his bench, where the different necessary excisions are proceeded with. The next stage is that of glueing pieces of wood at the back of and across the sound holes.
It is to be lamented that his mineral paints have changed their colors in many places from white to black, and that his green trees have become blue. The padre had studied these frescos so thoroughly as to discover that Sodoma had sometimes spent only three days on a fresco, by tracing the joinings where the fresh plaster had been applied, which had to be finished before it dried.
