The first meeting of the course was this afternoon in the workshop. After tea, introductions and housekeeping announcements, those of us who are new to all this stayed behind while Kit Beamish, talked to us about some of the basics, and filled us in on our first task for tomorrow, which is to shape the blocks in the mould so that they follow the outline of the instrument. We also got to meet our pieces of maple and spruce, that with a lot of time and effort, we're hopefully going to turn into working instruments.
So tomorrow morning, it's on with the show!
