On the tuning by tapping and scratching videos. The overview is the first episode. Go to episode 20 or so to get to tuning. Most are pretty short. The first are on other things of more interest to violin making, like rib making.

Why be normal?

Good stuff guys. I really enjoyed the couple of times I attended but for many reasons haven't been able to chime in lately. Always lots of nuggets and camaraderie. Maybe next time!

Sorry I couldn't make it to the Roundtable last weekend. That was de-decorating day, and my wife would have had a conniption fit if I hadn't focused on that. The work week has been so busy, I just now got a chance to watch the replay. I visited Brad a few weeks ago, and I can definitely attest to the organization and cleanliness of his shop. It makes me ashamed of the disheveled nature of my shop for the last few months. I'll be looking to reorganize when the next opportunity arises. Thanks to all for sharing, and as always, thanks to Brad for organizing.

P.S. James, I can definitely offer some hope for regaining your energy after the knee replacement surgery. I was in a lousy mood for about 2 months after mine, and had very little energy, but I started getting a lot better in that regard a few weeks ago. I'm not back to normal, but I'm back to doing most things I did before, including trying to get things done in my shop. Hang in there; it will get better, and not long from now.
