When I found this site I thought I would build one or two guitars and move on to something else. But, I've seen some wildly creative instruments on this site that have provided me with a constant source of inspiration. Now I'm 30 instruments in and still going strong.

I think it would be fun to post pictures of the builds the we're the most proud of.

Don't feel limited to guitars. I've seen some homemade jigs, tools,drum kicks, and lots of other things that're both artistic and marvels of backyard engineering.

So lets each post one pick that's the best of what we've designed and built.

There's a video on my page called, Waldo's Heavy Metal Guitar, if you want to see it's accessories n' stuff. 

Thanks ! ;-)

I just watched the video.

I loved it.

This is one of the most creative and artistic builds I've seen.

Prof,  that gitty screams steam punk thats for sure . that is cool

I've been makin' stuff out of scrap brass for decades and I have a basement full of brass junk. Once I started building CBG's I guess this was bound to happen eventually. hahaha 

Thanks :-))
