Hi All I think a good free plan for a beginner with just a few tools would also be on the Graeme McCormack's web site "antiquated strings". and that would be "The Sinfonye" I built a few from his very detailed plans and they are very nice and I find with good volume. Early Hurdy Gurdies were built with handtools and the help of other craftsman like a blacksmith so I think it still could be done the same way. I do think Michael Mcmillan on his blog "a huyrdy Gurdy Odyssey" is buiding a very beautiful kit with very few tools and borrowing tools from friends. you learn to make do. I have a very well equipped shop but the last instrument I constructed is a Nyckelharpa it is like a very detailed Hurdy Gurdy that is played with a bow. and they are largely built in Sweden with only a carvers knife.
