Today is repairing day. Again.

But this time, it's getting better.
The problem I have with the back-pinning is being solved, as I figured out what mistakes I've made in the first place.
I removed all the damaged pins, and finished filling up the holes to drill them again all nice and clean.
Enough with carving toothpicks ! ^^
The strings I found broken by its loop is now replaced. I even did a loop nearly perfect on the new string, by using my offhand.
Maybe I'm better with my offhand to do a work that needs extreme accuracy ?
Huhu...
Thanks to the strings I had removed, one of the intact string had to support a lot more pressure from the bridge.
It didn't made it.
Believe me, it's not really nice to have a string breaking in the middle of the night... ^^'
A wake-up call that sounds like thunder.
Now I'm waiting for the new strings to come, since I didn't have enough in stock to replace all of those who broke.
Actually, it's not so bad : I had plenty of time to keep on working on the quills, and I'm almost done with the harmonization.
I've also done the finishing touch to the jackrail - the plank that goes above the jacks to stop them from going too high - which means...
I CAN PLAY ACTUAL MUSIC WHILE WORKING ON THE INSTRUMENT ! ^^
And it feels good.
