Cookie tin diddley. 23" scale. Made this one up a couple days ago to take on hiking/camping trips. Made from scrap pine and a spruce (?) yardstick. It's 28 1/2" over all weighs next to nothing and the cookie tin makes a great place to store a home made slide and a couple guitar picks.

  • Thanks Glenn. Looking forward to seeing your ultra light all purpose survival diddley!  

  • I LIKE it Vern! Add holes in the tin top (the lid, now the back if I see it rightly here...) and you have a grill. Git/FishingKit/Grill Kit, add multi-knife/spoon/fork, salt and pepper packets in aluminum foil. Givin' me ideas here!! :) -Glenn

  • Indeed, an ultra light all purpose survival diddley!

  • Looks good in the light.  You an take it fishing and make sure the fish are of legal length.

  • I'll have to try the dark stain next time Uncle John. Just replaced the bolt bridge with a wooden "flying bridge". It cut down the weight (for ultra light hiking) and increased the volume some. Think I might put together a small fishing kit and fire starter to stash in the cookie tin. A survival diddley?

  • Measures up nicely.  I have taken the Lowes and Home Depot yard sticks and stained them dark with a nice effect. 

  • yup

  • Nice, Vern.

  • Cool!  Good work.
