<li>My entry is a really fun piccolo resonator. It features a super beat up vintage Little Bobbie box. The reso is the lid off a stain can. The neck is a scrap piece of poplar. It has a 14.5 scale. Super bright tone from the brass nut and bridge. Good luck and Happy Holidays to everyone.</li>

<p>Here is my entry for the kick the can contest. It is made from 2 ash can lids. An ash can is a large pale with a lid like a trash can. We use them to remove ashes from the fireplace. I was going to call it my kick your ash can jo, but that seemed a bit long. I'm calling it my Ash Kicker.

<p>Not sure if I missed the deadline, but here is the first CrocBite Hamtar ever made. This was a custom build for Reverend Peyton, who was extremely pleased to get this after a two year wait... those old ham cans aren't easy to come by! It features a vintage ham can, figured walnut neck, curly katalox fretboard, steel tailpiece by Old Lowe, and an Original Flatpup humbucker. This thing was tuned to Rev's strange three string tuning, and really wails!</p>

Luckily I had an old painted can lying around which someone had painted a 'P' on (Petrol?) Painted an old broom handle, nut and bolt for the bridge and a jubilee clip for the nut. Looks nice with my hacked 'Hacker' radio amp. As you can tell from the video clip my playing skills are as scratchy as my building skills, but it was fun!…</p>
