Hi Kinya;

 RockinRon suggested I purchase Andrew's basic tool kit to start off with. I can't afford his full set at this time but the basic set, along with a few extras mentioned in the tool suggestions in Harp Tech series #4, ie. feeler gauges, seem like a no-brainier to me. I've watched several of his videos, plus he was kind enough to talk with me at length, and he seems to know really know his stuff, plus the tools look well thought out in design and materials to me. (back in the late seventies to mid eighties I used to repair office equipment and designed and fabricated a few specialty tools). Have you had experience with any of his tools or instruction?

I had purchased the F tool

I had purchased the F tool and French tuner from Andrew. The attention to detail on his tool making is extraordinary.

Your Harpsmith, Kinya

Thanks for the input

Thanks for the input Kinya. I think I'll go ahead and get Andrew's basic tool set plus a set of Seydel feeler gauges.

They're $3.75 IIRC on Ron's site. They range from .002" to .020"
