They look really great, Jim. Are you planning to stain or varnish them?
I'll be moving across country this year, and building up a woodworking lab is high on my list of priorities (along with building a full wall-length shelving unit). I've also always wanted to build a Zuckermann harpsichord kit, but that idea remains in dreamland for now. I'll probably be doing what you did first - finding some sort of woodworking course and using their tool shop to learn.
My father is a minor master with wood. He built a beautiful copy of a 17th c. French chess set for me years ago that would be the first thing I'd toss out the window if my house were irretrievably on fire, and has been labouring on the brigantine Leon from the classic Underhill plank-on-frame books for years now, so the hobby is something I've always had an itch to dig into.
