That's way cool, John. A very pleasant shape.

Good Dad.................

hella  yum  ;-)

he hasn't seen it or knows that I've made it for him.

but will do today(saturday).

Thats a fine looking fiddle.

The pure simplicity of the git makes it..

hes got it and he is very happy and not what he expected.

Very nice. Where do you get those tuners? I can't find any with that vintage look that are priced under $20. 

Gitty has them.

ebay.about $10 for 6

with these cheap tuners,you may get the odd one that will round off the gear wheel.

in other words the round gear just shear off. I've had 3 out of about 24 so far.

they are ok on light to medium strings ,on medium no more than 5th string  ( 6th E) 

these were intended for classical guitars so that should give some idea of the strength.

I think these are ok and I don't think they are poorly made .
