As someone who had some minor joinery skills in his youth but yesterday
managed to pull several muscles carving a pumpkin head say that I'm
really looking forward to reading about this project.
I'll never make one (nor take part in this) but I'll find it fascinating
to read.
I would suggest that a chien be included though purely for the reason
that it's something specific to a HG (as opposed to a symphonia) if we
discount the fact that a Tekero has something similar and would be a
good skill to have to make them.

Excellent, that seems to answer several questions. I surmise the extra
chanter strings, aside from tuning the tangents slightly off each other
to get a "chorus" or vibrato effect, also serves to increase the volume
of the melody strings in relation to the drones?
That would seem to suggest that our hypothetical model should have two
drones, and two chanters for the most flexibility, but that will add
some complexity to the build as the tangents will have to be carefully
adjusted laterally to apply equal pressure on both strings.

__ As it happens, Steven, the Hackman's "minstrel" model is three
stringed; one chanter, a trompette and one drone. Mine doesn't have
a lot of volume compared to other gurdies, but the trompette and
chanter are more than enough for it to sound like a gurdy.
