Day two of actually building my first lapsteel. It's a 4-string only and has a tin resonating chamber that I'm going to put a pick up in that I've already purchased from a member of CBN. I'll post more images soon but the images of the day one build are on my page. Thanks for having me in your group too.

My second lapsteel. Some leftover wood pieces (maple, walnut, birch and beech), art deco inspired design. Pickups and electronics taken from a broken e-mandoline.

My first and only lap steel build.  I went after that old pawn shop special look.

Holey Molley Taze. Classey! Looks kind of like a George Board lap. Wow.
