"Wow, w. giraffe print no less 'eh BrianQ?! NICE. Well I'm moving along here. Maybe tomorrow I'll remember where I put that new spool of 50lb line and can finish this, ha! Between staples and heat gun the plastic REALLY got tight.…"

"That’s kool Glenn, I did a Uke with a 7up bottle that came out decent, just needed some bracing under the bridge. I found a table leg with Giraffe print on it yesterday, perfect for an African motif? "

Had to work on this today- in progress 2 string (50lb. mono fish line) git, heat-shrunk pop bottle on top. African/banjo vibe. Old chair back support for neck.

Low-carb us. Been thinking of doing this for years- a Thanksgiving mini-diddley w. C.L. plastic container. Not super loud but quick and fun. .024 wound string, Co2 capsule slide, credit card pick. THANKFUL! -Glenn

Bro Glenn,
I am building a CBG site-not commercial- and answered a question of how I got started with this and the answer is that I have been your fan for a long time and found you on a YouTube link to see what you are up to now.
i posted that YouTube link on my site TunesFromTrash.com and hope you approve of me using it.
My other site is JesusChristExalted.com and I would like to reference your GRRR sitee there, please.
Thank you,
Jack

Glenn: I was impressed by pics put up recently of a 5-gallon bucket bass, and (I think) your name was mentioned by the builder, thanking you for the idea. Do you have plans for such a bass that you could share?

Glenn,
Thanks for friending me! Beaver Dam native! I'm an Illinois transplant from 74'. Still love cheese! I own an audio studio, I rec. singer/songwriters and recently started recording bands. I re-mixed and mastered Shane's Empty Wooden Box. Shane dropboxed the files and I loaded them in Logic...
