Thanks for your comments. I was just about to post some more photos of No23 and say it was my first fourstringer but I'd forgotten about the bass I made for a nieces boyfriend. He did the outside paintwork on the house in exchange

Thank YOU. Your stuff is amazing. I really like the Papillion uke and the build you are doing with the curved/clamshell box. I have a pile of those boxes and I like the look (& challenge) of the curved top/edge.

Bluesheart,

After you left a comment on some of my photos I looked you up. I really like your style!

Apparently you are a fellow Blues Harp musician. I've been playing harp for around 30 years or so. This CBG thing just happened to me in the last 5 years or so. Even tho my 3 brothers and my son all play guitar, I never had the desire to learn to play a stringed instrument until I built one!

Thanks for the nice comments! look forward to getting to know you.

Third time lucky ?

The headstock was a mistake, It was meant to be three a side but I bought a set of tuners at a guitar show not realising they were six in line until I got them home

The headstock is a mistake, it was meant to be three a side but I bought a set of tuners at a guitar show only finding they were six in line when I got them home.

Yes I did need to cut the fret slots deeper. This is my first curved fretboard so next time I'll do it right first time

The headstock shape is a mistake. It was intended to be three a side but I bought a set of tuners at a guitar show, not realising they were six in line.

As for the fretboard, yes I have had to recut the fret slots, didn't cut them deep enough in the first place. This is the first curved fretboard I've done so next time it'll be right first time

Thanks for the comment.....visual copies those heads, mirrored to use up a pack of six tuners. One of these Punch Boxes will show up in Hampton Beach up near you, tell him you know where he got it. Everything I have here is a mix of things that catch my eye or something that makes sense. I haven't picked up on my own building style but it's coming. I favor the afternoon cookie tins and amps, lots of fun .... I love to tinker with the stuff.

Hey Bluesheart, thanks for the friend request - I've been putting off making a suitcase drum because I have no drum pedal, but now I have no excuses. Very ingenius!

Bluesheart,

Again I thank you regarding the Box Kora.
