Any interest in how to build minimalist CB dulcimers?

Hello all! I am an amateur dulcimer builder who has produced a few well intonated dulcimers with minimal tools (backsaw, mitre box, scribing chisel, yardstick/straight edge, pocket knife) and noticed that the resources for amateur level dulcimer building are limited to very poorly intonated novelties. My first question is whether I have perhaps missed a quality resource for low level builders that details how to build dulcimers.

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
I am fascinated at all the unique sounds people experiment with. Its very cool to see an instrument that is unlike anything in a music shop. I also really like the idea of being able to make a functional instrument at a very low cost, so that I'll always have access to something to play.
