Designed and printed some pretty neat boxes, to organise our production. #3dprinting #hurdygurdy #NerdyGurdy #nerdygurdybuilders

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.

Are you the key master? Finally getting to finishing the #nyckelharpa from #nerdygurdy.
Still working on phase 2 of the #CigarBoxGurdy and dreaming up a cigar box #theorbo

Srsly folks...theorbos, gurdys, and nyckleharpa are the power trio of the future...as Barreta said "you can take that to the bank!"

#nerdyharpa update. The bending of the soundboard was way outside my skill set. It soaked, I slowly cranked up the tension...it bent. A few days later I hung it to dry. End results..much like myself it is bent in ...curious ways. I worked out the last steps needed to put on the top soundboard ...and it beat on me like I owed it money. Even after filing down the tabs to match the bends it just would not stay put. Clamps were employed. There will be clean up needed. #nyckelharpa #nerdygurdy

Today in building the #nerdyharpa #nyckelharpa ....the body is slowly taking shape. We are up to the "let's sou vide the top plate" stage wherein we soak the top and bend it via jedi force tricks...aka rubber bands and zip ties...perhaps one of the least fascist uses of a zip tie done up today here in murica. Every step, both with the #nerdygurdy and this, I am stepping well outside my skill set.
If all goes well I can do protest songs on it and will have learned a new skill.
Keep building!

And so we begin. #Nyckelharpa time...break it down. Getting the mise en place in its places, going thru the build in stages, dry fit, for reals fit...the days roll into nights and the week or so down the line until we bow our way into the first scratchy notes of beginning. #nerdygurdy #nerdyharpa #onward

While I whiffed on getting the #goldenticket of a fully assembled #nerdygurdy yesterday, I scored a kit of the NG Linotte v2. Ive been watching build videos and going thru the build docs till it arrives. I am so not ready, but if not now when?

I also purchased a separated wheel and crank set because.... #CigarBoxGurdy . I am going to take what I learn building the Linotte and what I am learning building #cigarboxguitar s ....and throw in my ready fire aim methodology. What could go wrong?
