Stick Dulcimer Making part 6.2: The fingerboard

Stick Dulcimer Making Season 2
This is the second part of making the fretboard/fingerboard, please feel free to ask any questions if anything needs clarification.

NB: The Fret press tool was purchased from Stewmac in the States, the low tech alternative was just a pin hammer!!(frettting hammers are available also from the same supplier too though)

I am currently releasing an episode a day until the series is complete,
Please feel free to comment in the section below or message me,




Please note that I have had to work with no dust extraction on in order to film, plus I have had to remove clamps to get a clear shot as well as raise the bandsaw blade higher. I also don;t recommend working with a camera between you and your work!! It takes 10 times longer :)

The Brass tailpieces are now in stock if you want to buy a set
