Mike Willmouth replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"I have found that I can get really good cuts using my Dremel tool on a slow speed using a diamond wheel (Lowes had a pack of them for around $10.00). You can actually cut all the way through the neck without cracking it. The cut at the base of the…"

Ive seen a few on Ebay but they want like $10.00 just to ship the darn things.

Steve Becker replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"Yep, that's the same disks I use. If a firm tap doesn't break the neck off, make the score a bit deeper and try again.

John Drake replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"I haven't tried this personally but looks pretty easy and gives a perfect cut. It gets to the main point about half way through the video. John D

Sean Stimac replied to Dan Sleep's discussion I finally got a job!!!"I'm jealous I was stationed at Fort Meade for awhile and loved the Baltimore DC area. Expensive though, really expensive. Enjoy the new neighborhood."
Mark Werner replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"The standard "reinforced" cutting wheels work just fine. The non-reinforced ones (the cheap ones...) tend to flex and shatter.
I've done this too, works pretty well. Just score around the neck in a nice clean circle and tap... The…"
Alan Roberts replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"Could you tell me what cutting disk you use? The only one I have was useless. The people at my hardware store are clueless ("A slide? Like at a playground?")"
Steve Becker replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"The best method I've used so far is to use a cutting disk on a dremel tool. Keep cutting around then neck until you have a notch cut all the way around it. Gently tap the rim on a firm surface (I use my workbench with an old towel on it). If it…"
BenBob replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"Tonight I scored a longneck bottle with a fragment of chert, ran a lighter around it for several seconds, put it under cold water... and nothing happened. So I rapped the neck on the bottom of the sink and it snapped of fairly clean. The edges…"
Michael Gajeski replied to Sean Stimac's discussion cigar boxes?"we sure have some great people on here"
Sean Stimac replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"Awesome advice guys. It's much appreciated. I have one more bottle that I can use, so I'm going to really concentrate on the scoring methods. I love my dremel accessories - I have tons of them including some of the diamond coated blades.…"
Sean Stimac replied to Sean Stimac's discussion How do I make slides?"These are way cool. I might just get one sometime, but first thing's first. Figuring out how to make slides.
What's the URL for those slides? Are they wood and bone or two types of wood?

Wes "I'm Baaaaack" Yates said… - Welcome aboard, Sean Michael! 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!
