Thank you for visiting.
My workshop is in north Wiltshire, England. In the 39th year of my career, I find my time divided into three main parts, making, restorations and repairs.
MAKING: Late Renaissance lutes are my speciality, but I also make guitars and other instruments. All my instruments are custom made and I am particularly pleased to collaborate with players who have special requirements, such as tone, decoration, amplification, playing technique or RSI.
On the right, a slide show of a lute being made here in my workshop. The music is played on lutes made by myself. The first piece is modern, 1998, and a portion 'Crux Catalyst' by Lamb and Keane is heard. Only one lute is playing, the sound has been considerably altered electronically. The latter two pieces are played on the lute depicted in this slide show. The former is 'The Right Honourable Ferdinando, Earl of Derby, His Galliard' by John Dowland followed by a duet 'The Flatt Pavanne' by John Johnson.
RESTORATIONS: I have done restorations of many old instruments. Guitars by Louis Panormo have become a speciality and I restored twelve. I have restored several 18th century English guittars (a type of cittern) and have one of them under restoration at the moment.
REPAIRS: I repair instruments for local musicians. Many classical, steel string and electric guitars pass through the workshop. I enjoy meeting the local musicians and and often hear my repairs being played. Of course, I also repair lutes.
Conservation: I have always been aware that musical instrument makers use materials from rare and endangered species. I avoid these and have sought out local and ecological supplies wherever possible. My solutions to some of these problems are discussed on the website.
Musical Instrument making for novices: Having taught musical instrument making in adult education and university for 20 years, I retain a strong interest in helping novice luthiers. I sell plans for guitars, lutes and other instruments. I can supply hide glue and gut fret. I and am always available for questions about musical instrument making. A portion of the website named "Musical Instrument Making Information" is dedicated to amateur musical instrument makers.
Lute Amplification: Recently, I have become involved in projects that will allow a lute to be successfully and sympathetically amplified.

Sometimes the most important things in a car build are simply overlooked. The builders get so focused on "big ticket" items that they develop a form of tunnel vision. This is especially true when the build is something as complicated as the Project American Heroes II (PAH II) '69 Camaro. Everyone became so focused on stuffing in the Turn Key Engine Supply 427 LS engine that nobody even considered the best way to supply atmosphere to the hungry mill. After all, an engine is just a big air pump and the quality of that incoming air has a lot to do with how the engine performs.
Luckily, K&N is just down the way from us and it agreed to rectify this air-intake oversight. After all, proceeds from this car were going to help the troops and K&N knew what was currently in place didn't mesh with the rest of this high-quality build. It didn't have a kit for this completely custom application, but it has tons of parts, killer equipment, and some really talented folks that wanted to help the PAH II Camaro be its best when it went across the block at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach, Florida.
Helming this project was Bert Heck, Performance Kit Manager for K&N. As he told Super Chevy, "When the Project American Heroes Camaro arrived at K&N, the first thing that we noticed is that it had a fuel-injected LS7 engine installed. What we've noticed over the years is that when a person is working on a project like this the one thing they always forget is the air filter. PAH was no exception. Everything was finished, fabricated, painted and assembled, but the air filter looked like a last minute quick fix."
And Bert was right, this car had events to attend and the quickest way to get it on the road was to slap a filter onto the throttle body and call it a day. But, this is far from the best solution and besides looking shabby it hurt the performance as well.
Bert explained, "With a filter just clamped onto the throttle body a few issues come up. First, restriction into the throttle body, secondly, turbulence and last, but not least, heat soak. After strapping the Camaro to the dyno, and making a few baseline pulls, we knew something needed to be done. What we came up with was a one-off intake. Paying close attention to tube size, air filter placement, and the size of the filter is how we produced the extra horsepower gains."
Keep in mind that this is a custom deal and while K&N would love to offer it in kit form, the problem is that every engine bay is unique and a "one size fits all" kit would be problematic at best. Nonetheless, the parts they used are pretty common and available separately from K&N; let this be a guide on the proper atmospheric feeding of your LS engine.

If drum brakes and flat-tappet camshafts are old-school technology, then springs are quite literally ancient. In some respects the wooden bows and catapults used by medieval knights to bludgeon their adversaries into submission were very much the precursors to the modern leaf spring. In the days of the horse and carriage, leather straps were commonly used as a springing medium until they were replaced by steel leaves during the Industrial Revolution. With centuries of development under their belt, the springs bolted to modern vehicle suspension systems are simple-looking yet highly refined components.
To get a grasp on the science involved in designing springs, how they work, what they do, and their role in overall suspension performance, we consulted with Kyle Tucker of Detroit Speed and Engineering, Tom Brown of Heidt's, Chris Alston of Chassisworks, and Lang Paciulli of LP Racecars. Since leaves and coils were the springs most commonly used in Chevy muscle cars, we'll leave it to the Mopar guys to yack about torsion bars. Ultimately, selecting the correct springs for a given application is very complicated, but the knowledge gained in this story will steer you down the right path.
A Spring's Job
When attempting to understand the role of springs in regard to cornering performance, the first step is disregarding preconceived biases. That's because much of how a spring functions in the scope of overall suspension dynamics is counterintuitive. Although proper spring selection is critical to maximizing handling potential, a spring's fundamental purpose isn't related to cornering at all. "The job of the springs is to merely support the weight of the car, and allow the wheels to follow road irregularities. Once the correct spring rate has been established, the bulk of suspension tuning is done with the shocks and sway bars, not the springs," explains Chassisworks' Chris Alston.
Since most aftermarket performance springs utilize a stiffer rate than stock, the prevailing sentiment amongst many enthusiasts is that stiffer is better. Surprisingly, however, our panel of experts unanimously agrees that the opposite is true: A car's tires are its only source of generating cornering force, and a tire that momentarily lifts off of the pavement due to springs that are too stiff will generate no cornering force at all. Likewise, a stiffer spring rate can also limit suspension travel in both compression and rebound, which further limits the tires' ability to follow the contours of the road. On the other hand, softer springs allow the tires to follow the dips and bumps of the road more of the time and, in turn, have the potential to produce more grip.
While it's true that a stiffer spring increases a suspension's roll stiffness, hence its ability to resist body roll, this approach degrades ride quality. As we touched upon in last month's story "Turning the Corner," cutting a car's body roll in half requires doubling its spring rate, which almost guarantees an unbearably harsh ride. The preferred setup amongst the suspension experts we consulted is to achieve the desired roll stiffness with bigger sway bars, and match them with softer springs to preserve ride quality and keep the tires in contact with the road.
Still, some tuners prefer the stiff springs/small bars method, especially in autocross applications, and sometimes the ideal setup is a combination of both. "For the front suspension, we like to run soft springs and big sway bars," says Kyle Tucker of DSE. "This takes the burden of roll resistance away from the springs and minimizes body roll, suspension movement, and camber change. For the rear suspension we often use stiffer springs and a smaller sway bar, or no sway bar at all. This helps to decouple the rearend from side to side, but the stiffer rate requires a very good shock package."

The dome of the sky was covered in Pyramids and that would be a good basis for this card.
As for the lovers I don't think Carrot and Angua work here. Carrot loves the city and Angua loves Carrot but I don't think of them for physical love. I would suggest Mrs Palm and a couple of her ladies which also covers the urge to carry out a task with the advantages you take from it
Jan Van Quirm wrote:1 ~ The Magician
Mankind surrounded by nature. Endowed with enough power to manage your affairs.
Probably one of the UU Wizards but one who fits the description (Ponder? Ridcully?)
I vote for Ridcully
Who else could it be?
2 ~ The High Priestess
Sanctuary, law, woman, Mother.
Mrs. Cosmopolite in her position as Muse/Sibyl to Lu-Tze and the History Monks. Could also work Anoia into this too as she's sort of a domestic goddess
I dunno..those are minor characters. Nanny Ogg has many of these qualities.
3 ~ The Empress
Evolutionary power of fertilised nature.
Lady Margolotta (on the basis of international political clout)
Too minor a character. I'd say Magrat, since she's pretty darned earth morther fertile. And she's queen.
4 ~ The Emperor (The Ruler)
The Energy in man to give his creations a short reality.
Because of that qualification - Terry The Man (Vetinari is still in here just wait a bit )
I dunno...by your description I might suggest Wm. De Worde. After all, most of his stories have a short shelf life.
5 ~ The High Priest
Spiritual Power which conveys principles.
Brutha. Who else? The famous lasting religious figure
6 ~ The Lovers
Physical love. Urge to carry out a task with the advantages you take from it.
Carrot and Angua? LONAs?
Definitely. Good pick, although it does take them out of consideration as single characters.
7 ~ The Chariot
Material Power. Dominion over passions. Actions of a human being.
The Luggage on the basis (and basics) of carrying material trappings and in particular laundry action...
Hmmm....that's a toughie.
8 ~ Justice
Happy or painful consequences.
Lord Vetinari - just right!
Wrong. Sam Vimes. He is justice personnified. Even Vetinari must bow to him when it concerns The Law.
9 ~ The Hermit
Search of Truth. Search for patience. Prudence.
Good 'un.
10 ~ The Wheel of Fortune
Actions in the present affected by the past.
Guild of Gamblers - maybe tie in Fate & the Lady? Moist?
You're being too literal. This is Moist all over. He's all about actions in the present being affected by his past.
11 ~ Strength (The Importance of Washing the Hands)
Fruits of labour. Ability to tell truth from lies.
Cohen or Hrun cleaning up... from a Health & Efficiency slant - strength through hygiene
Minor characters. This is a tough one. I'd say Carrot is he wasn't being used elsewhere. Or Detritus, since he strongly committed to cleaning the city of troll drugs.
12 ~ The Hanged Man
Halt or Suspension. Abandonment/Unshared love.
The gallows dummy in AM (FoC)
Giving a card to a inanimate object? Silly! I'd say Nutt.
13 ~ Death
New Start/New beginnings, even new life. Cut with the past.
Who'd you think?
14 ~ Temperance
Adapting to new experience. Reconciliation in business.
Black Ribbon and bats
More objects. How about CMOT Dibbler? True, not a protagonist, but a staple of the series. And one who is always adapting to new opportunities.
15 ~ The Devil
Slavery/selfish outlook. Licentiousness/ Robberies.
Overall we think The Auditors as a collective entity that hates life
That suggests the auditors are evil. They aren't, since they don't have moral values. Tough call here, since Pterry doesn't have repeat villains. Maybe either Teatime or a combination of Pin and Tulip? or even Wolfgang, although he is a one-book villain.
16 ~ The Tower
Danger/Setbacks/Unexpected blow. Freeing from prison/risk of serious illness.
Tower of Art - with or without the Draco Nobilis
Dorfl maybe? He's a tower of strength with an unexpected blow who freed himself from the prison of his own mind. Yeah, pretty weak.
17 ~ The Star (Pool of the Night)
Dawning of peace hope and prosperity/beauty. Cosmic Harmonies.
Red Star from LF in night sky - reflected in a body of water
How about wosshername, the heroine from Monstrous Regiment? She's creating beauty out of ugliness. Or Lobsang.
18 ~ The Moon
Illusion/mirage/ a complicated life
Elves in moon's light - possibly riding yarrow stalks (whatever they are... (L&L) )
Tough one...Granny or Susan comes to mind here. Whose life is more complicated than theirs? Or, if you wanted a shot character, Lillith Weatherwax.
19 ~ The Sun (Dome of the Sky)
Sincere affection. Noble sentiments.
Hard one to discify this. Possibly Druids flying sarsen stones to Llamedos across a sunny sky OR use Egyptian style Nut-type Goddess from Pyramids (pooh'll like that )
This would be Carrot all over, if he wasn't one of The Lovers.
20 ~ Judgement
A good card, predicting library work. Stability in business. Health.
AM Watch badge
Yeah, probably good. Although I also like Granny here as well, since she's very healthy and judgemental.
21 ~ The World
Feminine card.
If a man it's his thoughts, if a woman it's her personality. Perfection, Inspiration. Good health.
Great A'tuin, ellies and disc
Yes, makes sense!
22 ~ The Fool
In-determination, wrong advice, thoughtlessness, abandonment of material things. Incompetence.
Rincewind - who else?
Yeah. He's gotta go somewhere.

The GOP's Platform Heels
Oh, what excitement we're having for a slow August! (One of my editors, frustrated that no one would return his calls, once called these two weeks "the dead of summer.") First we learned that Representative Todd Akin believes women have magical powers to repel a rapist's sperm from our uteruses—and the underlying ideas that, as Lindsay Beyerstein yesterday delineated so crisply, "forcible rape is the only real rape" and "women habitually lie about rape," which she notes are two sides of the same coin.
Then we learned that the draft Republican Party platform will continue to insist that women should never be permitted—under any circumstances, even rape, even childhood sexual violation, or even if the pregnancy endangers their lives—to refuse to host the comma-sized embryo lodged inside them. What exactly might a world with such laws look like? Consider what happened to a pregnant teenager in the Dominican Republic, whose constitution declares "the right to life is inviolable from the moment of conception and until death"—no exceptions whatsoever. The teen discovered she had leukemia, but wasn't permitted to receive chemo lest it harm the fetus. She died.
But you may have missed the fact that the draft Republican platform has taken up an equally firm stance against same-sex marriage and for the Defense of Marriage Act. (Oh, and just for the record, it opposes women in combat.) According to Chris Geidner and Zeke Miller at BuzzFeed:
Finally, after praising the benefits of marriage, the draft documents state, "[W]e believe that marriage, the union of one man and one woman must be upheld as the national standard, a goal to stand for, encourage, and promote through laws governing marriage."
Julie Bolcer at The Advocate goes on to report that the platform includes this:
"We oppose the Administration's open defiance of this constitutional principle - in its handling of immigration cases, in federal personnel benefits, in allowing a same-sex marriage at a military base, and in refusing to defend DOMA in the courts - makes a mockery of the President's inaugural oath," says the proposed platform.
The language appeared to represent a win for social conservatives participating in the platform process. Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, claimed credit and told BuzzFeed, "You should read the entire plank on marriage, which I wrote. I feel very happy about it. I feel pretty optimistic about the outcome here."
So Tony Perkins might have had a good week after all.
The common wisdom is that no one reads the party platforms, that the candidates feel free to ignore them, that planks like these are sops to interest groups. But in fact, which principles the party writes into its documents of purpose are philosophically important. They do lead to action, albeit not necessarily directly. The Democratic platform calls for the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. No, that's not binding on the president should he win re-election, nor on the Congress should by some miracle we end up with Democratic majorities in both houses. But a great deal of discussion goes into building a consensus for those points of view, and I do believe that those positions will become law—especially since, at this point, a majority of Americans believe same-sex couples should be free to marry, with more agreeing every year.
But the Republicans endorsement of a waning point of view is an equally strong indication of what they would do if in power. If the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins and the rest of the anti-contraception, anti-abortion, anti-gay caucus have enough sway to put such extreme positions on their party's platform, no doubt laws limiting abortion or gay rights would come under consideration. The Republican platform makes it clear that the influential Republicans behind a Romney administration would reinstate the Bush administration's "gag rule" and stop funding family planning around the world—which they say is about abortion but is really about contraception and sex outside of marriage. A Romney administration wouldn't try to prevent Uganda from imposing the death penalty on homosexuality; the FRC and its other supporters are the ones pushing the law.
All the items in the party's platform are strongly linked. The Republicans are doubling down, insisting that sex must be firmly linked to making babies; that if you have sex you have to have those babies; and that marriage's only purpose is to keep men and women together to raise those babies. In that view, the public has no interest in recognizing two women or two men; since my wife and I are not gonna make babies, we don't need marriage, and marriage isn't for us. (I just talked with Maggie Gallagher for Bloggingheads—to be posted soon—so I've had a refresher course in that philosophy, which I believe I understand even though I disagree with it.) As one can see, the status of gay men and lesbians tracks the status of women. So long as there are laws or policies limiting contraception or abortion, so long as there is any disdain for women's sexuality or women's independence, there will also be disdain for the choices that lesbians and gay men make about our bodies, our love, and our commitments. Reproductive rights are gay rights; gay rights are women's rights.
A society that sees women as lesser is not going to be happy if some men refuse to take up their responsibility to run the world or to seed babies, or if some women act as independently and powerfully as men, refusing to subordinate themselves to their husbands. And a society that believes sex (and therefore marriage) is only for having babies opposes contraception, abortion, and same-sex marriage all in the same breath. This is an intrinsic link, and it works the other way as well. If you see men and women as equal, there's no reason to deny same-sex couples equal rights to love.
And so it's no surprise that a Republican platform believes that if you ever have sex, you should be prepared to get married and have babies, with no exceptions if you were raped or molested—and that on its flip side, if you and your honey aren't the kind of pair that can make babies, however theoretically (such as is the case with post-menopausal or infertile heterosexuals), then you shouldn't be having sex or getting married.
Don't be lulled by how silly it sounds to us: When Republicans get elected, that core philosophy has policy consequences.

I suspect the Republicans don't like masturbation or pornography either for that matter. Republican attitudes on "s-e-x" make me think of places like Saudi Arabia and Iran. Not much of a difference here between their viewpoints and those of "fundamentalist" Muslims.
Fri, 2012-08-24 16:27
Obama was indoctrinated in his youth as a Muslim, so we are damned for death and hell either way. At least the Republicans will let you die an natural death, not behead you. Obama compromised he just thinks after 75 you are worthless and the quicker you die the better so no medical care after 75. Not that it really matters much, because with Obama care medicare will be broke in a few years; as will Obamacare. So masturbate while you can because accordingly we will either be Muslim or radical right Christian. Is there a better country somewhere? Someplace where you can be free again.
Fri, 2012-08-24 17:59
Another lie. Obama was raised to respect ALL religions, including Islam, but he knows that a FEW Muslims are fanatical haters of all who believe differently (and more are deceived by those who benefit politically from those beliefs into joining them). The same situation occurs with a few "Christian" leaders in this country, and just as Al Qaeda means "the base" in Arabic, these people are called "the base" of the Christian right wing Taliban in America.
Fri, 2012-08-24 15:53
I agree there is some archaic juvenile banality in the republican platform. Christians forcing their views on the populace via the law, makes them no better than the Muslims who believe all infidels should be killed if they don't profess a credible conversion to Islam.
Despite the republican platform they still represent our best hope for the future. Here's why. Obama has proven he is incapable of providing the leadership required of the presidency. Besides not having a budget for four years, he has no plan on how to extricate us from this financial mess. He apparently wants to tax and spend, tax and spend some more which has been proven time and time again won't work. He wants to penalize business and make everyone poor. This makes everyone dependent on his bigger and bigger government for handouts with no one to pay for it.
Yes, as someone who leans conservative, there are things I really don't like about the republican platform. Unfortunately with BHO we are heading into an economic abyss. Thank God Romney is a fiscal conservative and a social moderate. Fortunately with a two party system there will be compromise; all we need is someone who actually has leadership experience. We should never again vote for someone whose claim to fame is being a community organizer. That really doesn't prepare one to be a leader as we have found out much to our chagrin and economic dismay. And to think I voted for Obama hoping he being new to politics could effect positive change. Oh well, as they say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.
Fri, 2012-08-24 17:54
Saying that Obama has no plan or leadership is like saying that a lion tamer is no good if the lion tries to attack him. On the night of his inauguration, GOP leaders had dinner together in secret and agreed to do EVERYTHING in their power (as members of Congress, governors, wealthy donors, etc) to make him a one term President, and they acted in TOTAL BAD FAITH to keep America suffering so that Obama would not get credit for helping us. Being a reasonable, decent gentleman, he gave them credit for good faith and tried to negotiate as long as he could (the biggest fault he has is assuming others are honest), and they continued to act in bad faith to harm US so that we could be persuaded to blame HIM for our continuing problems, not THEM.
