Good day everyone

I am New here and thanks to Ted for initing me. I don't know why as I have no musical talent, only have built one old diddley bow, working on a three string cbg kit from tinyguitars., and I have one of Jays Big Stick dulcimers. Can't read notes but I can read numbers and only have to use one fingeer to play lol. I enjoy seeing what everyone does with simple materials to produce some very fine instruments.
Ted thank you for the invite
Roger

Hey Roger
Thanks! That one is 29.75 I down loaded that scale from Scotty's or Shanes site. It puts the bridge up on the box some. Its a 4 stringer. Just like the 3 string construction wise. Thanks for watching Lenny

Thanks for the kind words Roger!

The headstock is basically cut in half, flipped over and then glued onto the back. The area of the neck coming away from the fretboard, and the fretboard itself, are both cut at a 45 degree angle beforehand. Same for the piece that gets glued onto the back. Then a whole lot of sanding to get the angles smooth and make it look nice. It's really just a slight variation of Bill Jehle's method on his instructional DVD. They do look nice, but they are a pain in the a*% to do using only hand tools as I do.
