  • The kind for plumbing. They were popular back in the day. I've got a Hot Head glass torch that could be fired into a pipe in my vise. Might try it for binding.
  • The solder iron is a big old heavy duty one that found at a yard sale..not sure what it was used for..no on/off, just plug it in and get with it. big wooden handle and its about 12 inches long and has a  big chisel tip on the business end.I think I paid 3 bucks for it and replaced worn out cord.I had this sort of use for it in mind when I bought it and hoped it still worked..it gets really hot.I use the metal shaft( it's about an inch in dia.) between the handle and the tip.

  • Wow. I like the solder gun idea. You do great work Crowdaddy.
  • Thanks A P..I have had this gourd for a long time and always wanted to do something nice with it.The top is mahogany from an old piece that I have had about as long as the gourd.I did an x brace under the top that intersects right under where the bridge is..It sounds awesome..a keeper for sure.

  • Thanks Jerry..I've had this gourd for years..I'm happy to finally get to hear it..

  • Thanks Dave..I thought crop circles would be appropriate.The sound hole inlay is maple and had to be heat bent..my first attempt..I put an old soldering iron in a vise and soaked the maple..only burned my finger once.I think I got off lite.

  • she is pretty....
