Street Organ

I've wanted to own a fairground style organ for many years and looked at acquiring one on several occasions but couldn't really justify the cost, I've also looked at building one but the time and learning the new skills need was always beyond me.
As always Life throws up some unpredictable stuff and 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and to cut along story short in the middle of last year I was no longer able to work in a 'normal' job or drive and had to make a lot of changes in my life.
This meant I need to set myself challenges to overcome and find ways of working round the limitations Mr P puts on me and I've always been very practical both in the types of work I did and in my hobbies.
So just before Christmas 2016 I decided to build my own street organ, after looking around a bit on the web I decided to go with a design based on one by John Smith from Fltwick.
I started on 3rd January 2017 and completed it on 15th February and this is an example of what it sounds like.
I have done a pictorial blog of how I made it which is here:

I intend now to do some busking/events with it and raise some money to donate to Parkinsons UK
