I filmed the building of this cigar box guitar I just finished. There is also a demo near the end. No power tools involved apart from a drill. Thanks for wat...

Great effort and result Clarky, sounds awesome, some people poo poo the cheap no name Pups from Ebay, I use them and love them, love the Box and the added Side Wings, looks great! :-)
Cheers Dennis, I use a drill and small sander to finish off but do most of the sanding by hand. The pickup is just a no name o e from ebay from a chinese firm, it cost £10. Thanks for watching my video :)
Thanks Uncle J, I'm not against machinery and I know some out there need to make loads of these guitars to make a living, but for me the fun is in the taking time, shaping the neck, cutting things by hand etc etc.
Thanks Poorness Studios. Once I work out how to do time lapse videos I'll actually include the bits where I do the work :)
Alert, I am a total amateur builder, but I thought I would film the building of this one. I like how it turned out and there's a demo near the end of the video. I don't use any power tools apart from a drill :)

Really nice build and great documentation Clarky. That thing sounds killer. Great vid overall. More of these please. :-)
Good on you folks that build with hand tools. Nice work with the shaping tool. I like those thin insets for bracing. A very nice outcome.
