Technical Stuff

I figure there's only two reasons why anyone wouldn't want to share building ideas and techniques with everyone else. One being that they have some kind of trade secret that they feel gives them an edge that they don't really care to share and the other being fear of being opened to critical review. I don't figure I really have any building secrets and critical review is often how we learn and grow.

As time passes and allows, I'll be adding pages here to share some of my building techniques with anyone who may be interested. My way is definately not the only way as like there are several styles of playing the dulcimer, there are also several styles of building.
