Bill, that is very fine work! It shall be appropriated some time in the future
:)

I believe the original ellipsograph in the Woodwright's video was made by George
Wilson, who was the senior tool maker and instrument maker at Williamsberg. He
has produced some extraordinary tools, guitars, violins, spinets, and other
items. I believe one was a commission to the Queen of England.

I hope this is not sidetracking the thread, but it may be of interest to know of
George Wilson, one of the lesser known artists of our time. Here he is at work
building a spinet: https:/
