Gorgeous tins, here in America they’ve changed just about every container to plastic! I’m a big fan of twangy one stringers, kudos! :D

thank you Brian, its going that way over here too, those tins are getting harder to find, took a few years to gather those 4 and go through all the tea inside of them.

Nice work. I just built this one on a whim.

very nice, lot more refined than what I do, I like it. Did you make the neck yourself or is there somewhere I can get one.

I make the necks myself. This one is Ukulele scale 15" with Dulcimer fretting. I use the Gitty fret scale marking set for accuracy then I do the fretting myself.

Gotta start trying to do that myself, never fretted or refretted a build in my life.

I had never done any of this before I started building Cigar box guitars. But the more I do it, the better they are coming out.

I think you'll find the same thing once you do it. Have fun with it!
