II just can't make myself through away these plastic coffee cans. I had been thinking about making an instrument out of them for a long time. We had a long power outage today so used hand tools and made this. I didn't spend a lot of time on details. I just wanted to see if it would work, and it does. Way more sound than I had hoped. The action is really high and makes it hard to play and i have mish mash of strings on it. The top string is way to big compared to the other 2. But I have seen enough that a new improved version will soon be on it's way.

Nice! I've only made one (larger round metal cookie tin) w. the floating bridge but it kicks out the sound. Love your work, keep it cookin'! -Glenn
