It seems you got off to a real good start in building. I like the tree branch idea for the neck, very rustic. The tin sounds very pretty. I am working on a heart shaped tin with gold and red and a vintage photo on the front. It is a very good start to have the ideas of how you want to build your CBG. I have some ideas of how I want to build three other CBGs. I need to finish with the first build. I have received alot of great advice and encouragement from different ones on this site. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have a clue how to get started on a build. I am gong to save some money to buy me a scroll saw to cut the necks. Now, I have to use a wood rasp, and boy does that really give you a work out.
It is hard to find the small wood bits, so I have to use the regular bits to drill holes in the neck. I bought me 4 extra clamps for the gluing process. I was told by Diane in Chicago use plenty of clamps.
I haven't worked on drilling my holes for the fret markers yet because it has been too cold to work outside where I have my drill. I need to cut my slots for the fret wire which I am using close hangers wire.
Are you up tonight working on one of your projects? I wake up alot at night and can't go back to sleep, so I get up, but I have to be quiet because my husband is sleeping.
Keep building and have fun. Can't wait to see photos of them.
Most of all, have fun!
Tres.
