A luthier is somebody who makes or repairs stringed instruments (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luthier).
There are a number of stringed instrument projects happening at the Hackspace as well as occasional Luthier skill-sharing sessions sessions to which everybody is welcome to attend. We have a number of very good tools for the making and maintenance of instruments at the space including a beautifully fine Japanese pull saw with a built in depth gauge.
We are learning, by observation and most importantly by experimentation, to work with different traditional and modern materials.
The Ukulele Orchestra of Hackspace has inspired quite a lot of this activity and it is our goal to one day form a band from all hand-hacked instruments!
