<p>Good luck with it, Don. I did find that the brass bracket screws as shown didn't work. The silver solder couldn't take the torque. I made a different design where the brass shaft extends through the socket cap enough to drill through and pin; then solder.</p>
<p>And thanks for all the kind comments, everybody.</p>

<p>Rosewood finger board and peghead overlay. Osage orange pegs, nut and tailpiece. That stuff is hard. You could almost use it with flint to start a fire.</p>

<p>You can't buy parts for this thing. I made the hooks out of 8 penny nails and sheet brass.</p>

<p>The mortised peghead was surprisingly easy to fit with a bandsaw and wedge. The lumberyard maple grain turned out prettier than I expected it to.</p>
