Hi, I'm HazelFyrebird, and I'm a wannabe luthier (I feel like I'm standing up at a Builder's Anonymous meeting...) in Virginia. I'm a bit of a lurker, as I've been reading and reading for a while,…Continue

Sorry, just posted pix of my first build but comments didn’t get added. Looking forward to learning to play.
Welcome Michael and Fergus.
Hi. I ended up here mainly while researching amp building. Have not built anything from an actual cigar box yet but I get the whole DIY thing. Next project using a wine case though.
Here are some links to my amp, lap steel and harmonica mics.
Hello from AZ. I am Mike. Sorry for the message I sent to everyone to introduce myself, not good on forums. Enjoy all the words of wisdom on the sight. Built my first CBG in May of 2017 and am now on my 7th. I am hooked. Every one I have given away to friends have loved them. Look forward to making more and will post pic later.
Welcome Paul and all other newbies.
Hopefully you can learn something useful from us and we can learn something from you.
There's way too many Paul's around here. LOL
Howdy from San Antonio, and happy new year!
I'm a computer get by day and a musician/composer by night.Bought my first CBG about a year ago before I knew a thing about them.. A couple months ago I started watching YouTube videos and gathering supplies to start building my own instruments, I think my interest has grown from a passing hobby into a full blown addiction. :)
I look forward to meeting y'all and learning as much as I can from this group.
Paul
Hi Burl Mcclury. I couldn’t find your blurb here but welcome. I like tightbond “original” wood glue. If clamped while setting it is very strong. Hide glue is the traditional glue for instruments but is tricky to use. I like the tightbond.
Hi All,
Thought I'd drop this and do the introduction thing. Its not a cbg, its a chordophone nonetheless.
Some people work faster than others, haha. Not funny though.
Welcome to the Nation Ian. Great fun with these things we build. We have some friends here in So. California with a band named "Craic Haus". I know what you're talking about. :)>
