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.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Tin-can Cello: neck in progress

First weekend's progress: the neck is cut, and I've begun shaping it. (A key realization was that I'm going to need to get an angle grinder for cutting the metal tub, I ought to get it now so I can use it in shaping the neck. That cut many hours off of the time to shape the neck.) The upper surface is not precisely level or flat, and it is slightly wider than it needs to be. I'm going to spend my spare time over the next few days truing that up with rasp and scraper, and getting it to fit the fingerboard. Then I will work on the scroll and pegbox.
