We've divided up the instructions into "narrative" paragraphs, like this one, which
indicate what is being accomplished by a particular stage,

"instruction" paragraphs, like this one, with the tick-box; "box-ticking" not our
favourite activity perhaps but nonetheless can be useful, on a printed copy, for

recording progress and making sure nothing is forgotten,

and "advisory" paragraphs, like this one, which pass on techniques that we found
useful but aren't necessarily the best way, or the only way, of achieving a result.

Printing

We have introduced a "Check List" for some of the kits, which contains the texts of
all the instruction paragraphs for the kit. This is a great deal more compact for

printing than the full instructions, and perhaps more suitable for the workshop. The Check
Lists are available only from the on-line copy of the instructions, from this

.

We intend the Full Instructions to be viewed 'on-screen'. If you did need any of the
diagrams or pictures in the workshop, you could download and print them individually

(from the HTML instruction pages) to complement the Check List.

The pdf files can be printed in full or in parts to your own printer using your pdf
viewer. Full printouts in booklet form can also be produced using third party services.

For more information visit our

Printing the pdf Files

page.

If you wish to print out sections of the HTML instructions, they are formatted in
standard HTML/CSS but, even so, the print function in some browsers does a better

job of rendering them than others. We find that 'Print' function of the Google Chrome
browser produces a good printed result: it also gives the option of 'Save as PDF', which is
a convenient way of creating a single portable file, including all the illustrations, which you
can view or print on any device.

If your printer can produce half-size A5 prints (two per A4 sheet) or, better still,
double-sided A5 booklet printing, using those options can save a great deal of paper.

The Etches

Tags

Components  are  attached  to  the  fret  by  small
half-etched  tags.  These  can  be  cut  through
using  a  heavy  craft  knife  with  an  old,  stubby,
blade  (avoid  the  thin,  pointed,  'scalpel' types,
as they will break), against a hard surface. We
keep  a  rigid  Stanley knife  expressly  for  this
purpose,  with  an  old  carpet  trimming  blade
ground to shape as shown.

Any  remnants  of  the  tag  may  be  cleaned  up
using a flat file. We have tried to  avoid  putting
tags  on  mating  faces,  but  there  are  some
instances  where  they  need  to  be removed
