Fantastic build. If you don't mind me taking inspiration from this one then I reckon I've found a near-future build to have a go at. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Much appreciated.

Thanks smilingdog1, I really like that mini version you built. Very cool.
Here's a lap steel I made out of an 1840's barometer you might like:

Sounds amazing!

What scale is this and number of frets?

I build the child size versions of these and would like to step up to a large one.

I like the simplicity of this one in how you placed everything on top without much modification to ironing board. Plus you found a practical way to incorporate the cigar box. looks very nice and I bet it plays great.
