Reinforcing the box

I'm glad to see this question! I was wondering, myself. I'm no expert, but I seem to have seen somewhere that floppy boxes can also dampen sound. So on my one-and-only ever build, a somewhat flimsy R…

Spring-mounted piezo for reverb? Zowie!

If you have one of those colossal, bonehead, 'DOH' moments building, tell us about it here. Aw come on, admit it. You've done something completely inept. We wanna here about it.

I did the same thing, but still have to be a bit careful hitting the strings. Could you send a close-up of the saddle? Thanks, Eli

Do you find those strings pop off your saddle? If not, why not? Nice work, btw, Eli

That's real nice, all right. But if I'm not mistaken, your resonator is not connected to the bridge! Isn't that a kind of unusual design? (Although if it sounds good, that's the main point!)

Well I decided to bind the headstock after I applied the fingerboard on my current build this is a beading plane and yes that is a jigsaw blade that I made into the cutter. Believe it or not it was very effective. You can see the results on my page and get more information about the tool @ http://www.lie-nielsen.com/catalog.php?sku=66..... of course you could just make a simple handle and make your own tool. - Jim

Most of all, have fun!
