    Wow. I also came from a music/recording/sound background into woodworking. You're going to be mad the first time the air compressor decides it needs to cycle in the middle of one of your recording...

    I recently had to cut some very small miters in 1/16" aluminum. I made a jig to hold it securely and was able to cut miters as needed. I was surprised how well it worked since it took all of two...

    I think there is a metal spine hidden in that leg assembly for strength. Why would they laminate the wood for the legs like that otherwise, unless the lamination is for rigidity? Also, I don't think...

    A 14" bandsaw and a 1/2" blade wouldn't be a bad investment either. You can definitely find one second hand for $300 - $400 or less. However, I'd recommend a planer too. A lunchbox style planer could...

    He got hardwood for the price of domestic pine. I can't even get poplar for that price and it is a VERY abundant wood here on the east coast of USA.

    No matter what, I'd say he got a pretty good...

    Good deal. You got it for about the price of a builder grade lumber at borg. Maybe even cheaper.

    Don't forget to use a magnet and check for metal, clean the surface well with a brush or you'll...

    I'd love to see pictures of the action that plucks the strings. I am not sure many people realize the mechanical differences between a harpsichord and a piano.

    Without seeing design it is hard to know the best way. Since the table is 60" and only 1" thick I assume you will do some sort of bracing under it to counteract flex, like a skirt or support? If so...
