Good for you, James. Check out Resources at page top-hover your cursor there and then click on how to play - find knotlenny's CBG 101. Great lesson. You can also just google it.
Added two screws to pull down the middle and high strings which completely removed any buzz that they had when strummed
I tightened the strings back up and tested it. Sounds really good for a first time, built from reclaimed parts instrument. The nut seems to be about the right height to work with frets. I tested the markings I had penciled onto it from a few weeks ago and the first 3 or 4 sounded pretty well on the low G string. Gonna' call that "good." :)
Too hot and tired at the moment to try adding copper wire frets, but I'll get to it at some point. Really loving how this one's turning out.

Did some quick work on the nut just now.
