Forging of Metal Spinning Tools of
James P. Riser.
The majority of the metal spinning tools in my collection were made somewhere between 1900 and 1920. To the best of my knowledge Delta, Boice-Crane, Powermatic, and Yates-American were the last known manufacturers of quality traditional style metal spinning tools. None of these companies seems to have continued making them after the 1960's. In the late 1990's the Sorby company of England introduced a selection of light weight spinning tools which were not really heavy enough for most serious spinning work.
To fill this void, I decided to manufacture my own line of hand forged and hardened metal spinning tools. These tools have been designed based upon many of the ancient traditional tools in my collection and based upon my own experiences spinning metal. Below I shall briefly demonstrate the method of manufacturing these tools....

Luthiers of North Texas.
Welcome to all luthier's, luthiers-to-be, repair people and supporters of LINT, Luthier's Interactive of North Texas. LINT is an informal association of North Texas Luthier's and repair people who meet six times a year (We meet on a weekend of every EVEN month) to discuss and learn new techniques and information regarding the construction and repair of stringed instruments.
The LINT concept was formulated in a small pub in Tacoma, WA as several builders from North Texas were sedating themselves after a long arduous day at the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL) convention in 1998. LINT held its first meeting, in November of 1998 and we have been going ever since.
LINT’s goals are:
-to promote and advance the state of the art of stringed instrument making and repair in North Texas
-to provide an environment conducive to the sharing of ideas and “trade secrets” which promotes the position that there is more than one way of doing something “right”
-to furnish opportunities for continuing education in all aspects of luthiery
-to provide a forum for constructive and supportive critiques of member’s work
-to create an environment that increases the “knowledge network” of its members, so that questions that arise may have answers within reach
-to create a social, beneficial, and supportive environment for North Texas luthiers

How to make and adjust a recorder block.
Recorder voicing is a very precise and intricate job. The aim of this article is to show how a player can learn to make a new block for his (or her) recorder, if this is the cause of problems. By doing this he can not only improve his instrument but also gain insight into the way it works. The advantage of making a new block is that the original one remains intact, so the instrument can always be restored to its original state. Of course, the fitting of the new block must be done with very great care, as damage to the instrument can be caused by clumsy adjustment. This work applies particularly to industrial or semi-industrial instruments. High quality hand made recorders should always be given to the maker for this kind of adjustment ...
