Nicely done, they make a great looking pair.  I might be inspired to do another oscillator.  - Reed

I highly recommend  Kozo's  books!


Bought the Kozo book  Building the Shay to follow along reading about your build.

FYI - My build was from the New Shay book, similar to the Shay book, just a slightly different design.

Thats why the 'New Shay' was in the title of the thread. They are not that different a design, and the techniques are all the same. Still well worth the read!
