It shows in those pictures. My niece rescued a dog from the desert outside Reno and when she got married, her husband traded vows with the dog after the ones with the bride. Not a dry eye in the hoiuse.

I’ve got a hammered dulcimer (two actually). Maybe I can help you out there.

Yes, that’s my take-away message from @jbv 's photos. LOL.

Wow…do you play often? I LOVE the sound of hammered dulcimer.

We had to move them to the basement when we got the kittens. They would use them as launching pads to get to the top of the dining room hutch. So we haven’t played them for awhile. Need to dust them off before we lose what all we learned! There is only one song that my husband and I play together (it’s called The Meeting House) and otherwise we have different songs in our repertoire because we had different teachers.

Ah, the hammered dulcimer. One of the locals I jam with won the U.S. National Hammered Dulcimer Championship many years ago. She be purty darn good.

She tried to sell me her original dulcimer but wow that’s a lot of strings to tune. Don’t want to learn another instrument.

I like the look of those! I’m a member of Sam’s…will have to see if they have them, otherwise I will be asking future in-laws to take me! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, those are nice. I got 5 sets or so. Plus shelf height is adjustable, which will allow for height adjustment to lower the pro with filter a bit. And they work pretty well as tables as you show. Likely my interim solution until the workshop is finished.

No problem but keep in mind it is still a big work in progress as in still running power, installing, wood studs so I can hang insulation and drywall as well as install an 18k BTU mini split A/C which I purchase for $800 delivered.
