Hi Dave, We really like new ideas and find that without them nothing new happens. On the other hand tradition usually has filtered most of the bad ideas and has settled on the tested and true. Seems that we are blessed with new materials and abilities in our day that old builders did not have and I think that we should use every opportunity within reason to make our HG's better. Please post your ideas and pictures for comment but I can't guarantee that the builders will always offer input as we are a very busy lot and don't always check the current threads with intent to respond. All the best Mel

I met them in 1995 at Tacoma. We all attended a peg making workshop with Eric Meyer. I learned a lot from Eric and have made hundreds of pegs since. Mostly for lutes and citterns and fiddles! Is there any way to post photos? Also, I have some new, I think, ideas. I'd like to share them. since I have resumed making this 'gurdy, I anticipate finishing it up within six months.
