"Gee, I didn't feel a thing here in California. Stay alert for the aftershooks. A 5.8 can do a real number on those old, eastern, brick buildings.   And I can confirm as a westcoast quake veteran -- the dogs do hear them…"

Johnny Debit replied to ken farmer's discussion What's the easiest way to radius a fretboard?
"The homemade 4" radius sanding block was for a 41.5" scale electric upright bass. I use a stew-mac 16" radius block for everything else. I like your idea, but in reverse. My new sign will read, "Will Sand For Beers.""

"I think Don has identified two issues that might be contributing to the problem.  Try to isolate the issues to see how much each one is contributing. If it currently stays in tune when played, then you know that your neck join is solid.…"

Welcome aboard, Heringmeister! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Up in the Free Resources menu at the top, you will see a number of plans for building and playing cigar box guitars/ukuleles/banjos/dulcimers/violins. I encourage you to download any of the plans, take a look at them, and ask questions from there. Also our site is VERY searchable. I bet you your questions have already been asked, so take a few moments and look around.

Join our Chat sometime (see the bar at the bottom of your browser page). Keep in mind that tho the chat window says there are X number of people online, not all may have the chat window up.

Most of all, have fun!

-Wes
