I will be beginning a 1st build soon. I am interested in 8 string C6th tuning. I have owned 3 or 4 lap steels over the years. Always played E or G tuning. C6th is where western swing and hawaian music lives. Pretty much new ground for me.
For those interested there is lots of C6th stuff on you tube.
I have a 2X6 piece of walnut it has a lot of splits and bad areas but I gope to find enough clear area to make a steel. I will post progress............

Thankyou Ben----there is a load more vids, at my youtube channel,,,but I' tried to stay pure to CCB and only uploaded those songs I do play using my two CBG's. I'm happy to have found this group, ..I wsurprised to see the low % of lapsliders! :-) I bought poplar for the neck and a nice piece of thin oak for the fretboard to add stabilty, strength. I might re-inforce the inside of the big box I found, --I used heavy gauge strings as I play in open D and enjoy the bassy tones realised with larger strings....It will be fun, if i ever get underway....LOL
just found a baritone uke, which is robbing my time, this past week,.,,,,,

Welcome! You really didn't miss much by skipping the "traditional" guitar experience. I think most of the people on this site (can only really speak for myself) are moving away from the standard-tuned, 6-stringer. I've enjoyed the videos you posted right after you joined the CBN.

Hi everyone Laurie here.....I am in this camp, most certainly.....played a year of banjo then switched to Resophonic lap slide, so I never really learned to play a guitar as most folks do......hope to build a big 6 string table top CBG soon.....having fun this past week playing an acquired baritone uke..with a pickup and running it thru my lil mini cube...
