" Some say, I can sing. Some say I should not. " That would look good etched into the back of the guitar. And Good Luck.

I am alone at sea with my cigar boxes and some crap. No power tools. I may have eaten my shipmates, I cannot say..
The sirens call, but I listen not. Shut your pie holes foul harpies, I am building my instrument, when I am done you will know..


There you go, your first song, just add music. You just proved that to make CBG songs, all you need are a few lucidity spasms.

You're gonna have to get some hemp rope and wrap it around the box somehow.

Just strung er up. Sounds pretty cool!!! Pics soon. Only used hand tools (love that spokeshave!), except for the holes on the head stock. Tried three times to get them right, then succumbed to the allure of electricity.

Second one is half done already! Should I go three or four string? Why?

Thanks for all the pics, advice, info and good will!!

Say Uncle
