Thanks Wes. He also likes coming out in the shop and making things with pieces out of the scrap box.

Thanks Richard. I can't interest him in playing an instrument but he loves doing videos and photography.

Thanks James O. While I was recording this I was thinking that you could do a great job on this song.

Thanks Unc. Bobby's been on a few vids here on CBN since he was 3. He enjoys being behind the camera.

I braced the tin top a little differently on this build to allow the tin to vibrate a bit more. Usually I stuff some foam in there to reduce that rattley sound. This time I used some thin wood under the top and I think I like it. Plus, this room has a nice natural reverb which helps the enhance tone.

Good job, Bobby.    Beautifully played and sung.  Git has some nice warm tone to it.

Lol, thanks shane. Bobby had to come to shop with me that day and I was looking for ways to keep him occupied.
