Lemmy doesn’t seem to have any popular woodworking subreddits, so I thought I’d post here. Just deleted my reddit account and want to contribute some content here!

Beautifully done! What did the wood cost in total?

It was probably around $500 for the wood in total. Hard to say exactly, I didn’t keep close track and I had a fair bit left over

Probably could have done it for cheaper if I was more careful about what I bought and did the whole thing in bulk from the beginning

This is incredible work!

How difficult was it to tune? Did you have to tune each individual key, one imagines?

It was very time consuming! The key tuning process alone took most of the half year, and I screwed about quite a few keys over the course of the project - The nice thing though was that it broke the large, intimidating project into very manageable chunks. One key would take anywhere from 30m to 2h depending on the size of the key and my own skill as it developed throughout the process, so I could generally bust one out in the evening, or half a dozen over a weekend. It was very satisfying to watch my pile of keys grow!

I wrote down some basics of the process here
