Reading someone else's post inspired me to do a little recycling. I had an old sawhorse that I wanted to get rid of. The wood was so beat up, it was not worth selling. So, I recycled it. I am thinking of making a dulcimer and a dog bowl resonator. We shall see.
After:…

I am using a new fret-slotting jig I built based on a design from http://sixgunguitars.com/fret_slotting_jig.html
It uses a razor blade for a slot locator. It works great!
I decided to build it after doing my first fretboard for a dulcimer stick. It was hard to get the slots perfectly straight. This little jig will be a real time saver. And the quality of my fretting just went…

Some things in the universe are a mystery.
Last night's Open Mic at Caffe Lena with the Saratoga Acoustic Blues Society came up on the calendar a week quicker than usual. Normally, I have had a good idea of what three songs I will play by the time I get home from the previous month's performance. For this month I had no idea what I was going to do. I try to bring something new every month. I want to really push outside my comfort zone every time I sit on that stage. It is…

The file has been compressed using WinRAR to about 4.5 Mbs, expanding to about 24 Mb on disk. There are lots of useful photos and info, makes for a good read (IMHO). Would like to hear back from readers as to improvements that could be made, and any errors you find. Consider it public domain, free download,…
