  Deep South of Louth enjoying the sunshine. I am at the Funny as Folk festival this weekend in Caboune Parva.  I'll be taking my biscuit tin and UKE so sure I will doing something.  I have a spot at the Mablethorpe busking day in August.  Hopefully I will be in Lincoln on the busking day will have to pop by and take a gander.

  Hi There

  I finished the 3 string and have strung it up, decent enough volume considering it's only acoustic. Having a bit of difficulty tuning it to open G as i'm not too sure about the # and b  thing and the G's being an "octave" apart. I seem to be taking the bottom G to almost breaking point. I also think my strings may be too high off the fretboard?  I think I'm going to  take a break now as I'm getting a bit frustrated to say the least.

  Oh by the way I got hold of a glass slide that fits me okay but all I've managed to get out of it is a kind of scraping whine, not good.

  Cheers

  Not thought about handlebars at all, wouldn't have a clue where I could get any to cut up either??

  Nearly finished the first one Steve, just got the tailpiece screwed down and some sound holes cut into the box.  Nothing fancy as this one is just a trial really, I made a mistake right at the start of the build but managed to recover it and I won't make the same mistake again that's for sure.  

  I just need to get her strung up now, but I'm going to wait until tomorrow to do that as I need to practice on my shop bought guitar.  I'll let you know if I get any sound out of her when it's done.  Still trying to find something to use as a slide, I have such small hands its proving to be a problem getting something to sit on my little finger comfortably.

  Thanks for the good luck.  I'll let you know once I get it finished. Very few tools and absolutely NO woodworking skills,

  what could possibly go wrong?

  Hi Steve

  I have all I need to build the first, this will be a trial run so I'm just going to use a pretty scruffy cigar box and a piece of timber from B&Q for the neck,  The neck is the piece that worries me most to be honest,  I then have the black Cohiba box I showed you and, I've just bought a plain wine presentation box which I want to use and decorate myself.  I have some pieces of antler which I hope to use for the nut and/or bridge.  I won't risk ruining either of my 2 decent boxes until I've got over my nerves with the first build.  Hope to get started this weekend as I spent the last one stripping wallpaper.

  Thanks for asking mate.

  Best Wishes

  Damn!!!!!!!!!! Looks like CBG's grow on trees in your neck of the woods.

  Thanks for the advice, I have every intention of keeping it simple, my limited skills will

  not allow anything ambitious.
