What happened?

The german language has two words for “owl”: “Eule” and “Kauz”. I’m a native speaker, but I had to look up what the difference is (Wikipedia/Deepl):

“Eule” means “owl”.

“Kauz” also means owl, but specifically the small, fat and grumpy looking kind:

Various bird genera and species from the family of true owls (Strigidae) are referred to as [Kauz]. The differentiation between the terms “Eule” and “Kauz” is a peculiarity of the German language and has no equivalent in terms of zoological systematics. [Eule] are generally rather elongated, slender bird species, whereas [Kauz] have a stocky, large-headed shape

[Eule] are considered thoughtful and wise, whereas [Kauz] are considered clumsy, eccentric and reclusive.

That’s literally it, it has nothing to do with biology. So the correct translation would be “grumpy-looking goshawk owl”. 😉

Yes, and even the bridge is amaranth!

I just used standard alcohol-based varnish. Tbh I when I started this build, I didn’t even realise it would do that. 😅

Those are standard (albeit fancy) “french eye” tuning pegs from Thomann Germany. The endpin is in the same style. Maybe for the next instrument I will try to make them myself.

I wish. Lutes are an entirely different beast. Definitely on my bucket list, though.

Have you adjusted the speed settings according to what the manufacturer says? LW-PLA can only be printed at a very low speed or else it clogs. It also needs constant speed. For example for colorfabb LW-PLA, I had to set all speeds to 40mm/s.

So far I just use a baroque bow. I work on a cherry bow from time to time, but it’s quite difficult.

And here is a Quick vocaroo where I play a few notes on each string.

That’s probably because they’re closely related. Every region in Europe has their own variation of a small, pear-shaped, three-stringed instrument. There’s the Russian gudok, Bulgarian gadulka, Spanish rabel, and so on…

I think the masked-off area is easy to spot:

The body got an alcohol-varnish and the fingerboard is oiled. Worked pretty well.

I’m now doing the hide glue method. I did a test piece and oil doesn’t seem to penetrate the hide glue at all.

Is this owl using eyeliner?! ; )

I don’t own an SLA printer. Where is the fuckup?

Linux Mint is what you’re looking for.

This type of guide would wear out too fast, I think. It would also take away from the drill length, which I need to drill relatively deep holes (high depth to Diameter ratio).

I think that’s exactly what I need! At least this type of drill guide:

Why are very different kinds of tools named the same?

I just want it to be disclosed that this is a form of advertisement before I click on the link:

The post should be clearly marked as advertisement in the title, e.g.

And the post should contain a summary or at least an abstract, not just a link.

Because it’s an ad.
