What did you do today

Us in the USA are wondering that the heck is a "fettling"shed?

I'm thinking that's where you dry your flax - or maybe where you crush and roll it into fibers for weaving. (Yea, it's just a WAG.)
Or it could be where the master meets the chamber maid - out of sight of the mistress of the house of course...

I finished Mountain Dulcimer #131 (Butternut top with Mahogany). It's goin' to Mississippi

Pardon my ignorance but I had to check a dulcimer out. Sure glad I did. Excellent

Hi Britsmoothy- glad to see you did some research on the Mountain Dulcimer. It’s a rather obscure instrument but enjoyed by many folks. The Rolling Stones, Cindy Lauper have used the Dulcimer in some songs. Easy to play and sounds great. AKA the Appalachian Dulcimer.

Got two dulcimers.

I'm going to paint it to match my voo tables, stools & poles.
I steamed the crest rail today. I only scorched my arm once.

 

[Keb]

I finished bending the crest rail. That was unpleasant. I've it temporarily assembled. I see a few things I should have done differently but a little paint will make it a good rondyvoo chair.

[nightwolf1974]

7/3, shot golf balls 1 at a time into the woods with the 1.75" mortar. then went off-roading which ended with muddy donuts in a private field, with owner's permission...all while playing load country music.
