Finally have time to try to learn to play the dulcimer

That's really nice, almost too nice for just a cord holder. My uncle was a blacksmith, and I always marveled at his creations.

Great stuff!

The Olive log progress pictured with Olive scaled Joker carbon.
I've collected quite a lot of used wood carving gear over the years, this is the first time I've used any of it for carving..... Very much enjoying myself.

Love seeing what everyone's projects are. I've put this one off quite a while. We've been in the middle of a livingroom renovation for about 12 months now. Last fall we put in a fireplace, and my wife and I did all the stonework. But we never got around to grouting all the seams. We finally tackled the project last weekend. The only thing left is to wash some of the mortar off the stone faces, then I can finally check this project off my list. Still have the floor, stairway, ceiling beams, and trim to go. ugh

Thanks. I'm not a blacksmith per se, but a farrier by trade.
The most difficult part of that project is the horseshoe, which is called a "roadster"
Obviously computer challenged.

The fireplace looks great.

So here is another attempt at making an unconventionally shaped molded clamshell slip sheath. I feel like my stitching is cleaner, edges are cleaner, and the distressed look i was going for turned out perfectly.
However, I slipped with the stitch groover...Son of a...lol.
Im having fun, and very happy with how this turned out, and how plush it feels.
Plus! It slides in my pocket ever so nicely beside my wallet...cant even tell its there.

Nice.

Nice.

Thank you, John...I’m thinking I may have to invest in some additional tools.
Maybe this weekend I’ll take a snapshot of what tools I am using.

Sounds like fun, Mike!
My wife and I were working on Wildwood Flower a while back, need to start up again!

 

[Crazy Canuck]

That's awesome Dennis! I'm working on Buffalo Gals for strumming and Home on the Range for picking

 

[JohnDF]

The only thing I can play is the radio.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

I can strum my wifes nerves like a pro...I choose not to. Haha. Ive learned better.

There's so much talent on display. Thanks for showing it, everybody.

I'm finally getting around to a little scrimshandry.
