  1. I think that probably learning to play the Hurdy Gurdy / Nerdy Gerdy, or just tune for a sound, while my left ear is completely blocked it a good thing.....

  2. Building this Nerdy Gurdy was super easy compared to getting strings on it and tuning this beast. What a nightmare...... aarrgh....

  3. It is finished! It took me about two months, but I’ve finally completed the build of my Nerdy Gurdy Fortran. I just need to glue two string supports that are just held down by string pressure at the moment.

    I haven’t tried it yet, as I don’t have any rosin or cotton. Hopefully I can get some tomorrow.

  8. I didn’t get to fasten the strings today. I decided to jump ahead and build the capos first. It feels like it makes sense to mount them before the strings. Now I just need to pre-drill holes for them and screw them in. After that it’s just adding the strings left. And for that I need to figure out how to wind the strings on the tuners. The manual doesn’t go into detail on how to add the strings unfortunately.

  13. The hurdy gurdy is coming along nicely, it almost looks like a complete instrument now. I’ve finished the keys, the key box, and mounted the shaft and wheel. Next up is attaching all the strings.

  18. I’ve finished up to page 59 in the build manual. Which means I’m about two thirds finished. Today I attached the key box and 3D printed parts on to the top of the instrument body. I also started glueing together the keys and added rubber sleeves to the key pins.

    The hurdy gurdy is really starting to come together now. Next up is ti build the keys, which will take some time.

  23. The hurdy gurdy is starting to take shape. Today I went through page 39 to 48 in the build manual and added lots of small bits to the body. I finally got to mount some of the 3D printed pieces.

    The manual I had printed was missing a build step, luckily I also double checked on an up-to-date pdf. It would’ve become obvious later though, and I think it wouldn’t have been a problem to mount those pieces then.

  28. Another day, another small step in the build process of my hurdy gurdy. Now that all the painting and coating and sanding and polishing is dine I can finally start mounting the pieces together. This step is just gluing on the black piece on top of the head where all the tuner pegs will be mounted.

  33. Phew! I finally finished polishing with two different compounds, though I haven’t buffed it yet. That’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

  38. Now that the coating on the main body has hardened for two weeks as well, I’ve sandpapered it as well. I started with regular sandpaper at 400 grit. Then I moved on to wet sandpaper at 600, 1000, 2000 and finally 2500. It took me quite a while, so I need to rest a bit before I start with the polishing.

  43. I’ve let the polyurethane coating harden for two weeks. Now I’ve sanded the small pieces with 400 grit sandpaper followed by wet sanding with 600, 1000, 2000 and 2500 grit. After that I used a buffer pad on my drill to polish with two different polishing compounds.
