Luthiers

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.
