"For two of mine, I've used aluminum serving trays from goodwill for no more than a couple of bucks. A variety of aluminum cooking utensils make good resonators. That thin aluminum material can be hard to cut neat holes in; I use a step- drill…"

"Hey that looks awesome! Nice work. I like the rustic look. I am actually looking for more of the "Folky" look for my resonator. I am interested in using a tin Altoids mint box. Any ideas on how to install that? "
