Toby was awarded grants in 2007
and 2008 towards the purchase of tools. On completion of his
training in 2008 he plans to set up his own workshop. He writes:
"The
Trust's generous contribution allowed me to purchase more specialized and
higher-quality planes, gouges and chisels to increase the quality
and efficiency of my work. Aside from the tenor viol in the style of Henry
Smith that I completed last year, I have completed a seven-string bass
viol after the Romaine Cheron (ca. 1700) in the Musical Instruments Museum
in Brussels (shown here with ground but no varnish), and I am mid-way
through a small six-string lyra viol after a Henry Jaye instrument in
Paris (1624)."
