I’ve started with the Nerdy Gurdy build. I’m taking it slow, today I just removed all the pieces from the plywood. There were quite a lot of pieces, so it did take a while.

A small pile of plywood pieces that will become the tangents of the Nurdy Gurdy.

I received my Nerdy Gurdy Fortran kit today! I’ve checked the contents and everything seems to be included.

I’m going to go slow with this build and try to be as careful as possible. Today was just unpacking and separating all the hardware into separate trays. I need to print another tray with a few compartments to have everything separated.

While waiting for the kit to arrive, I 3D printed parts for twenty glue clamps. I hope this will be enough. I also have a bunch of small clamps, and a few larger ones.

The glue clamps are made by the same guy who designed the Nerdy Gurdy. The 3D model is available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6517348

I’ve started to sandpaper the plywood pieces. So far I’ve sanded all 24 keys with a coarse grit sandpaper which took all evening. I will have to go over them again with a finer grit as well.
