"Thanks Rand, I'll have to swing over to the Uncle Bob site. That's a sweet setup. I found a picutre by Deke on CBN title penny tuners. I think I might try that solution first. I also found a couple of wing nut and eye bolt versions. I did…"

"I couldn't find the picture I was thinking of, but this one (shown below) is along the same lines, but done on the head, but w/o wing nuts, which would have made them easier to tune (and without having to use pliers). You would have more…"

"Hi Slo Boy, The Uncle Bob Guitar Project website has an interesting headless guitar design featuring home made tuners that look like they might work reasonably well. I'm thinking I might try to do one of these headless guitars using a Cigar…"

Penny Tuners

"Deke, are those pins just wedged in? Are the holes tapered and if so how did you do that. I'm hoping to make a no cost CBG and want to make my own tuners. Thanks, Sloboy"

"Thanks Rand, you make a good point on taking it through the process to find out what else will be a challenge. I also need to keep from getting too anal on this. The idea is to put together a "free" guitar and that will mean accepting the…"

"Hi Slo Boy, I'd recommend going ahead and using the current not so good board, because there are a lot of other "operations" you need to do to build a good instrument, and you may as well get some practice now. For instance, if you…"

"Here's the progress (relative term) of the project. I picked up two more pallets. One identical to the first and another that had thicker runners. The wood looks like pine but its very dark and doesn't dent under fingernail. I'm…"

"This is my starting point for now. The direcitons I was reading on the site saide to use a 1"x 2" for the neck. But the usable dimensions of the skids are 1"x 1 3/4". Do you guys think that will be too narrow fora 3…"

My first CBG build

Hey all, this is my first day on the Nation. I've been crawling all over the site this weekend absorbing all I can and I'm committed to making my first CBG. I've never played one and really don't play guitar all that well, not really much of a woodworker etither. Yep totally in over my head! And I've got it in my head to spend the least amount of money possible on the project too! Next week I'll probably decide to tie a hand behind my back and wear an eye patch while I'm at it!! If anyone is…See More
