Well, the plumb bob may end up being more useful for dulcimer making than the 2 person crosscut saw I once came home with!

See you on Linkedin when you find the password! A friend suggested I sign up there. Just what I need; more time on the web!

Right… so the plumb bob is used for what in dulcimer making?

BTW… soon as I remember my Linkedin password, I’ll ok your invite!

@Deborah RobsonKnowing where the floor is makes many things in my life safer!

It’s really good to keep track of where the floor is. I’m glad you have a new plumb bob. Makes planing much safer.

Glad you like it, Brian. I love this kind of stuff. These old methods and ways suit my sensibilities.

Thanks, Larry. I’ll keep you posted on the varnish adventures!

Another great find, Doug. Love these old books you keep finding. I’ll also be interested in hearing about your varnish-making activities.

Cheers — Larry

I vaguely remember that. If I hadn’t seen Ed Badeaux play dulcimer at The Shack I may have never gotten started strolling down this path.

Yes, the one in late 75 was a kit. I guess it wouldn’t be right to count them in the numbering.

I know I had one of the early ones built from scratch in 77′. Later on in 80′ you built me another one.
