READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

🦋 Tin-can Cello: planning the bridge

Two excellent resources for carving and setting up the bridge -- Fitting and Carving a New Cello Bridge at Triangle Strings lays it all out, Cello Bridge Carving at Jawmunji Fingerstyle Resources breaks down and simplifies a few key points.

I bought a good quality Belgian-style bridge from Menzel and a template from Metropolitan. Won't do much work on it until the main work of building the instrument is done... I'm already starting to visualize where its contours will be.
