My first scratch build

My first dulcimer, Karen finished at last! The hardest part was sawing the timber down to 1/8 ^th inch thick in my tiny 6 foot x 7 foot kitchen without the aid of a vice, I really gained respect for the old timers. I made a mistake on just about every stage of construction but I guess thats how you learn. I found that sewing machine needles make lovely, highly polished string pins! Thanks to all the help and advice from everyone one on the site. IMG_1623.jpg IMG_1627.jpg
