365 Days of Dan: Day 20

Here is an image of Dan in the basement workshop on 28th Ave. E. putting the polish on a medieval lute. This space was also the string-making workshop for a few years while I developed the process. The sink where I split and scraped is over my right shoulder, and the string bench is over my right shoulder against the wall. One of the twisting machines is on the bench top in the corner. Looking at the picture now, it all seems so rudimentary, hardly more than one would have seen in a 16th-century workshop. I spent years in this workshop developing the process of making strings, and it demonstrates that you can have a little to do a lot.
