Bob Tedrow Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 If a picture is worth a thousand words, we will have quite a novel when I am done with this concertina. I am building a custom Tedrow Zephyr 30 button Anglo Concertina for a customer. I intend on "Twittering" this job as I go. I hope you enjoy the progress and don't get bored. I will try to keep it light. I will try (no promises) to get some of the job up every week day. to follow the progress: http://twitter.com/HomewoodMusic
LDT Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I think that twittering the process is a great idea. Will there be a webcam in the workshop next?
PeterT Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Will there be a webcam in the workshop next? Do I gather that you want to watch your concertina being built?
Henrik Müller Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Day 4!, day 4!, day 4!, day 4!, day 4!, day 4!, day 4! I've kicked out my TV - I am only watching this /Henrik
Theo Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Nice to see another fan of the Hegner Saw! I bought a secondhand one about 5 years ago in good condition. Last year it developed a fault in the box of electronics that includes the on-off switch and the speed control. I phoned the factory to be told that a replacement control unit would cost £80, but to send them the old one as it might be repairable. I duly sent it, and it came back within a week, repaired, gratis. Not just a good machine, but good people there too.
Henrik Müller Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 ...Day 4!, day 4!,... Yikes! It's there! Thanks, Bob! Very inspirational in all possible ways. /Henrik

Bob Tedrow Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 Day 9 just posted. In case you feel this is impossibly slow progress, be aware I do have other duties and responsibilities. You all are not bored yet? http://twitter.com/HomewoodMusic
Hereward Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 You all are not bored yet? I am utterly cack-handed at anything mechanical Bob and wish it were otherwise (my father was a boat builder until plastic ones took over), and I enjoy watching a master do anything (at least once). This is very interesting for me and thanks for posting it. Ian
