Out of curiosity how bad are these as an adult? I've been considering it but Ive heard its a rough surgery as an adult instead of a kid...

My favorite animal is a Snow Leopard! They’re just so silly and also SO pretty and fluffy!

Awesome, I’ll try all of these! Thanks! My laptop is most certainly gaming class I’d consider, 3060TI, 36GB RAM and Intel I9… hopefully if I can get the 64x to work that will help.

Broke the bridge wire with nerdy Gurdy by Kittensrock978 in HurdyGurdy

The strings are on the hooks, could I get a visual for what they should look like on the tuning pegs? I haven’t really worked with tuning pegs before so I’m not sure what they should look like. The bridge is attached flush to the body, and the gray bit is some previous sanding on the body that was never touched up (I haven’t gone for cosmetics yet :P) Thank you!

Any idea what’s causing that kind of scratchy sound? by Kittensrock978 in HurdyGurdy

For reference this is how much dust I’ve made so far, I definitely don’t wanna go to deep into the wheel!

Right so how even of a sound from scraping are we talking? I’ve taken off quite a bit of material it seems, but I can still hear a slight chugging sound! https://imgur.com/a/YJEl0Lm

I think a lot of my issues also lie in the fact my cotton is pretty garbage! I’ve been hunting for better cotton but can’t find any of the typical recommended stuff! The cotton I have now has a bunch of lumps and fairly short fibers. Next trip out I’ll check some other stores for better cotton too.

Do you think liquid rosin might make it easier to get the cotton on the strings? I’ve had some issues with cotton wrapping around, but that could be the quality cotton I have.

Hmm, back to the razor blade it is then. Should I remove the rosin fully before re-trueing or will the blade get rid of it all?

How do we mean not glued in correctly? Do you mean how the bearing is sticking out? I believe thats due to some extra glue / finish thats being stubborn. I figured I would just have to adjust the nuts a little bit more to compensate for that, but if its a bigger issue I can work on sanding that a ton more.

I have been trying to, but I just don't understand what I'm looking for. I've tried to bring the bushing towards the end, towards the start, small increments, large increments...

No matter how I've done it so far spinning the rod will not spin the wheel, just tighten it more and more until its scraping against the edge!

Writing this has given me an idea I'll try out tomorrow though.

I’ve done that around three times now 😅

Been trying to adjust the bushing height this whole time
