Humpady Triviola

A sub-specialist for working wood would make these, usually out of maple or beech. It might require up to 35 measurements to produce these to the proper proportions. What are they?

My WAG it that it involves frets for some type of stringed instrument.

I think I know the answer, but I want to wait to be the last.

I think that I will wait until the last person answers before I make my guess ;-)

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

I am not really sure so I will kick it around for a while before answering. By the way what is a Humpady?

Re: Humpady

"Humpady" is what describes this piece of maple I was working with last night. But several passes on my jointer fixed that. ;-)

Just to let everyone know, the Gold Plated Unisaws are on order and you will all get them as soon as they are delivered. The last time I talked to the vendor, I was told that there was a slight backlog, and they figure they will be able to start on them on the 42nd Tuesday of 2192, so please be patient. We have not forgotten. ;-)

I'll be waiting on the front porch, and hope that I can get my 135 yr old butt up out of the chair to meet the delivery truck at the end of my driveway. :-)

But by then I will probably have forgotten who sent it to me. So I appologize in advance if I forget to send a thank you note.

2192 is 185 years from now. How will you only be 135? I wanna hear your secret.

Re: What's your secret?

Because I am already getting old and senile, and can't subtract right. I should have used a calculator. OK, so I'll be 235. I definitely won't remember who it is coming from.

Wasn't there a nursery rhyme that started Humpady-Dumpady?
