The Lap Steel Slide Adapter - Final product!
It started like this... Wood cut for adapting a glass slide. Now the slide works for playing a lap steel guitar
Step Two: After oiling and waxing the adapter.
Step Three: Inserting the slide to fit
Finished! Here's how you hold it in your hand (it fits perfectly!):

What is the black stuff where the slide goes?
probably rubber to grip the slide so it doesnt move around too much
ok thanks
I remember when I first saw this post years ago. Great idea I had to make one for myself. Thanks for sharing and to Leo for idea.
Très bonne idée, j'en fait un tout de suite... Merci
What a good idea, A great thinker...
Wow, this is a great idea! Thanks!
Thanks!!
Very clever way of getting a glass slide sound on a lap steel. It's similar to a Weissenborn slide in concept, but much better for being home-made!
Thank you Adrian!
