Hi

Welcocme and congrats on your new build. Sounds terrific! Reminds me a bit of the music of the Tuvan group Huun Huur Tuu...

Hi Gary,

Never made a lap steel so I am unable to suggest the best method to use, but there are a couple of groups with lots of photos to look at for ideas tucked away on CBN

http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/lapsteelworld

http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/vintagelapsteelplansgroup

Also there are lots of other hits if you do a general search from the CBN homepage.(I find the search function for the forums doesn't work - probably my old computer's fault)

http://www.cigarboxnation.com/main/search/search?q=lap+steel

Looking at the piece of wood you have I recall Juju made a great looking lap steel based on a similar slab of wood.

Regards,

David

Ahoy there mateys.......held a nice little guitar building course yesterday on the rather splendid LV21 - an old Lightship moored at Gillingham Pier in Kent. Really good group who all seemed to have a grand old time. And check out their handywork! All guitars nicely decorated which, when stood next to each other, form a lovely panoramic shot of the River Medway. And they sounded pretty damn good too. Well done everybody - keep spreading the noise!
