Rebecca J. Carlson: December 2012
http://www.rebeccajcarlson.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Monday, December 31, 2012. This is how it all looked at the beginning of the semester. We stained most of the pieces over Thanksgiving weekend. But after having attempted to document this process on my blog several times, I think I've collected enough photos and notes that I can do a decent harp building page. I'll add it to my list of things to do in 2013. Over Christmas break we finished the staining and I fitted the box.

Rebecca J. Carlson: August 2012
http://www.rebeccajcarlson.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Tuesday, August 21, 2012. I spent the morning cutting out harp pieces. This is me working on the design for the two brace pieces that go on the pillar. This plywood is bendy, which makes it very cooperative for fastening to the ends of the soundbox, but not so good at holding up under 1000 pounds of string tension. So I add brace pieces to either side of the curved pillar. More photos to come as the project progresses.

Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Sunday, August 4, 2013. Harp No. 7. After I've got the design ready, I can print it out, actual size, on multiple sheets of paper. Then I tape it together and trace the arch and pillar onto my sheet of plywood. I cleaned up the workshop today and should be ready to start cutting on Monday. Posted by Rebecca J. Carlson.

Rebecca J. Carlson: August 2013

Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Harp No. 7: Rough Cuts. Before I take the wood to the band saw I start by making rough cuts with a circular saw. First I used my fine-tooth blade to cut a piece for the box back out of 3/8 inch plywood. This is my daughter helping me. Once the pieces are rough cut, I can take them to the band saw and do the precision work. Believe it or not, here's all the wood, rough cut, that I need to make a harp:.

Rebecca J. Carlson: May 2012
http://www.rebeccajcarlson.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Sunday, May 27, 2012. On Saturday, my son Daniel and I had our musical duo debut at his end-of-year violin recital. He's only been playing for one year, so I'm singing the praises of the Suzuki Method for enabling my son to quickly pick up this tune that I usually do with my Irish band, South Wind.

Rebecca J. Carlson: November 2014
http://www.rebeccajcarlson.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Rebecca J. Carlson. Living the creative life. How to Build a Harp. Saturday, November 1, 2014. My neighbors know I like pumpkin. Last year I told them I'd give them one bottle of home-made pumpkin pie filling if I could have their jack-o-lanterns when they were done with them on Halloween night. This year I still have pie filling left from last year, so I didn't go pumpkin gathering. But I did take our own jack-o-lanterns and turn them into a different tasty treat. Pumpkin Casserole. 1 cup diced ham.
