Dick Taylor replied to Tom Walters's discussion My CATBRO Resonator in the group Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0"Sweet! I've just joined up here and have yet to build anything, but when I do I think it will be a reso. If I can come up with something as classy as this I'll be very happy indeed.

Rand Moore replied to Tom Walters's discussion My Build of a "Boat Paddle Box" in the group Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0"Hi Tom.
The frame will get some reinforcement once you glue on the top sound board and the back board. I was used 0.5cm thick wood (cherry and sapelli), and was a bit concerned about its strength, but after gluing on the top and bottom it seems…"
Tom Walters replied to Tom Walters's discussion My Build of a "Boat Paddle Box" in the group Home Made Resonator Boxes 101, v.2.0"Here is the latest.

My Build of a "Boat Paddle Box"
Inspired by Rand Moore's comprehensive write up on the "Boat Paddle Box, I have decided to take a crack at one myself. Here is the start. I am doing two at once. The neck is oak with mahogany strips glued on for the sides. I am going to cut a scarf joint for the headstock and add some wings. One of the stick dulcimers will have a mahogany back and sides.The other body will have mahogany sides and a walnut back. Both tops are going to be "iron spruce" from Mario in British Columbia.

Tom Walters replied to Battmann's discussion 1st dulcimer in the group Dulcimers and Strummers"Very cool build! Did you make the box? May I ask the measurements of the box, the neck and the VSL?
Thanks
Tom"

"Thanks Uncle John,
The biscuit is walnut with a piece of corian super glued to it. I did not glue the biscuit so I could move it to change the intonation.
