Making an Adirondack Chair from an Old Swing Set
มุมมอง 326ปีที่แล้ว
This swing set needs to go after 18 years. Seems like a shame to throw out all this redwood, though. Maybe it can be upcycled into an Adirondack Chair or two? Lots of different free Adirondack Chair plans here: www.thesprucecrafts.com/free-adirondack-chair-plans-1357104 These were the plans I used, with some minor changes: www.skiptomylou.org/free-adirondack-chair-plan-printable/

Update on the Hurdy-Gurdy.

Update on the Hurdy-Gurdy. The video of my build, at th-cam.com/video/u7p0IL3QNiE/w-d-xo.html, generated a lot of compliments on the appearance and a lot of scorn about its sound. I spent some more time truing it up (seasoning the wheel with rosin, and varying the amount of cotton on the strings) and now it sounds much sweeter. If this is your kind of thing.

    looks like you're using traditional tuners, those are tapered right? where'd you find them? and also, did you need to use a tapered drill bit? if so, where do you look for those kind of tools?

    • @douglasnadel1028
      @douglasnadel1028 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, the tuning pins are tapered and have a hole in them. I bought them, and the drill bit, and all the specialty parts, from Zuckermann www.zhi.net

    1:22 Hi, I see this video is a few years old, but I was hoping you could help out with the “veneer tape” that you are using in this video. I’m having trouble finding something comparable.

    • @douglasnadel1028
      @douglasnadel1028 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The wooden "trestle" comes from the book I reference in the description above. It's basically just a cross of wood, about 12" long and 4-5" wide. The model gets screwed in from underneath at one end. At the other end, on the cross piece, are a bunch of nails to wrap the strings around and hold them. A bunch of small screw eyes in front of and under the ship can help keep the lines separated.

    Nice. I always wanted a harpsichord. Could not afford one, those I´ve seen for sale costs more than classic campaign furnitures. I usually have good luck with wood working, maybe I´ll should give building one a try. I´d like one in transportable size but I also like having full range of tones and the tonal modes. Do you know any site with good descriptions to draw such design influences from ? Guitarist caught shopping in a piano shop; What piano string gauges fits what tone ranges ? And whats up with double/triple strings on each note ?
