Hi,
I am new here. Canadian but live in France. I am new to lutherie, but determined to build a dulcimer (after buying Chet Hines book in 1975!)
Things are coming along, and I gave looked through a few guitar building books (Bogdonovich was a great help)
i have made the sides - bent and laminated with walnut and spruce, and have glued in laminated spruce linings. (Picture attached)
i am a bit stuck on how to plan for the joint between the sides and the neck/head. I I have made end blocks - (in the photo), but not sure whether the head should be attached before the end bloc
