I've been building a Folk Harp and recently made all the fittings to go with it. Unfortunately when it came to stringing the Harp and tuning the strings I realised that the Tuning Pins I made had a larger head on them that the standard Pins. So what to do? Sitting quietly for a (long) while I came up with this solution. The problem I faced was how to set a square hole in a round piece of Steel. This project encompasses many of the Woodworking, Metalworking, Blacksmithing and Woodturning skills I have acquired over time.
