This just popped up on my youtube watch suggestions.
A different way to make a CBG
Note from Shane: I've edited Timothy's original post to include the photo above and embedded video. (Great find, Timothy!.) There is also an entire tutorial on how to build this guitar at https://www.3x3custom.com/tutorials/making-a-three-string-guitar

Hi, on the subject of making a mess whilst making a guitar here a couple I have done over the years.
One is a chambered solid body with a hardwood cap on the top. The other a hollowed out body -solid bodied- resonator guitar. For this I used a bandsaw mainly and the router and then glued a back and top on. The glue lines around the sides were covered with binding and purfling.

Nice work, Taffy! Do you have a web place where I can see more of it?
Hi, thanks for the comments guys.
John, if you search taffy evans guitars my Facebook business page should shown up. If not let me know. I do not use it other than for updating project information. On that site its called the Commodore.
Taff
as always Taffy, your work amazes me..
I have a DC Tele that's going to be done like your 1st pic Taffy.
It looks nice. I like the shape and it sounds good. She obviously didn't have a lot of building experience because she made a few mistakes and she worked harder than she had too, but she did good and learned along the way. Nice playing too.
I'm in the No Rules camp. If you built it yourself, then we all want to see it (Cigar box, Bed Pan, Lunch Box, Candy Tin, Custom build, et al). I think the site is more about creativity than cigar boxes. Keep those unique builds coming.
even CB Gitty sell precut laser cut boxes as CBG kits.
over half of the guitars i have seen recently are built from made boxes.
to be blunt the maker calls it a 3 string guitar, i originally posted it because i personally had not seen this style of build before.
No rules. Never. That’s why I featured this video. Great find!
Wow. Totally agree with most of the comments. If only I had those tools, anything would be easy, well at least easier. What a workshop.
