I've got a coffee can full of piano tuning pins and I think I can put my

The word(s).

My email address works. I'll take'em off your hands if you have no use for
them. Having the pins laying around staring at me might be a good
inducement to get me over the hump and actually cut some wood instead of
just thinking about it. I realllllllllly want a hammered dulcimer, but
it's a slightly intimidating project still. I've about half convinced
myself to wuss out and buy a kit once.

But if I successfully build a kit, I see a long future as a dulcimer builder
in my, um, future. I love those things like few other instruments. I got
to play one once, and it was like touching $DEITY.
