Making wooden musical instruments by hand can be anything but "fun." It can be debilitating. (Though making just one or two that way might be fun). The excellent San Francisco woodwind tech Daniel Deitch, after 17 years of hard work making Baroque wooden flutes, gave it up because, as he says, "I injured myself repeatedly building instruments the hard way, completely by hand, spending far too many hours reaming, scraping, bending, filing, and sanding" (from his website).
