Hurdy Gurdy

You made this in a hotel room??
Wow, I can barely make something in a full shop…

-- Still learning everything

Yup, as you can see I had to use soup cans for “clamps” as well as clothes pins and only had the use of hand tools.

Good work.

I guess this just proves that a lot of dedication and inginuity can go a long way. My hat is off to you, sir.

Fantastic!

I was thinking I needed more clamps in the shop. Now I’m just going to pick up some extra cans of soup at the grocery.

Was this accomplished with one king size bed or two queens? I envision a new contest in the works for traveling Lumberjocks. Nice Hurdy Gurdy!

I think I’ll go out and buy some soup and clothespins!

-- Bruce from Central New York

That is a good looking hurdy gurdy!

I can relate to building in a motel room…spent several years on the road installing switching equipment in telephone offices. I did airbrushing, instrument building, and R/C boats in the motel.

I found out my dremel tool would heat fiberglass resin to a point it will set off a smoke alarm.

I also found out, if you disconnect said smoke alarm, the front office will call REAL quick…
