Jim, I was in the Tomball King Dollar yesterday and saw they had some decent six inch stainless steel dog bowls for a buck and a quarter.
Jim, thanks for the welcome. I see that you are all in on Cigar Box Guitars. I hope to start my build soon. Can't decide on 3 or 4 string so guess I'll have to build both.
Further disclaimer and (Yep, I know...) diddley's can be played several ways, re-tuned and one can find differences with diff. slides, and of course, harmonics on the string, diff. gauge strings and etc., but just sayin', 2 and 3 strings take you to another planet (or can).
Let me just add the cool creative musician deal with these gits is imho, tunings. 1 string (diddley bows) less, but 2 and 3 stringers and you're all over the map as to possibilities and I do love that. Re-learning, launching into the deep takes us past the flat earth stuff... heh! Enjoy! -Glenn
Thanks for your kind comments Jim. Been a while since I've been to Houston. Good memories, great BBQ :)! Yes, cbg's are addictive no doubt. I've always got a few in mind, but whew... if I can ever snatch time to finish several for friends... then I can get on with a few for myself as I've some ideas I really want to try out. Nice work and care you put into your builds... nice! Hugs, -Glenn
