I have no intention of building a hurdy gurdy. I have no woodworking skills (tried to get some in high school, but girls weren't allowed - yep, I'm *that* old). However, I find this all fascinating. Whenever I am able to attend Over the Water (3 times, fingers crossed for a 4th), I go to Alden and Cali's maintenance class. The first time, I took extensive notes, even though I had no working instrument of my own (my Bassot was still a grimy little guy with missing bits, whittled bits, an elliptical wheel and one ear) and those notes helped me tremendously when Craig handed my HG to me and said it was up to me, now. He got it functioning. I got it to play. Still working on it. I'm getting pretty good at shaping tangents from Craig's blanks. I hope the discussion does not go away.
If it does, please post the DIY group link. I'll join and lurk. Gmail wraps strings into nice little stacks you can skip, if you like, points out where new posts have been added, and takes no room on your hard drive. You might try this, if the bulk of some topics bothers you. Oh, and in the interest of trimming the post sizes, please remember to remove any unnecessary repeated information by previous posters when you hit reply, as I did this time and will try to remember, myself.
