It is finished! It took me about two months, but I’ve finally completed the build of my Nerdy Gurdy Fortran. I just need to glue two string supports that are just held down by string pressure at the moment.
I haven’t tried it yet, as I don’t have any rosin or cotton. Hopefully I can get some tomorrow.

I have three more operations to do on this part. And it's critical I do them on the right order, else I end up with a part I can't hold.
But first. Lunch.
So far my progress for this project looks like this.
Not much. Until you take out the micrometer. At which point it becomes apparent there is a very precise ¼° taper machined across the flat face of the part.
I'm now taking a pause. Partly to make sure I'm certain that I've done everything I need to in this setup. And partly to try and work out the next steps.
Universal law of machining. When tolerance doesn't matter that much, you'll hit dead nuts on.
The part needs to be 4.00mm ±0.1mm.
I measure this as 3.996mm. 4um off spot on.
For my next setup I'm gonna get to use a tool I don't use anywhere as much as I'd like. A 100mm diameter shell mill. The thing is an absolute beast.
Now my new 26mm ER32 collet has arrived I can finish off a project I started a few weeks ago. A pair of machinest jacks. I just needed to machine the spanner flats, so they can be adjusted with a 20mm spanner.
With this project complete, I can now start my next project.
