Sorry Brian - I was intending to introduce myself but every time I checked you looked busy and I didn't want to get in the way!  I'll definitely come over and say hello next time. 

Actually, I've decided that my mid-years resolution is to try and be a bit more active on here in future.  I've got a few more pictures to post and plenty of ideas for future builds - I just need to stop being so quiet all the time...

King Rubbish! Come out of the background next time! (Proud to be CBG!) Would have enjoyed connection' you bein' so close and all!!! Glad you enjoyed it though. I'll try get some vids up during the week ;-)

I personally don't think there is an optimum box size,Bill.A lot depends on what you're building,whether it's acoustic or not and what feels comfortable,etc My first diddly bow was a not very good box that measured 24mm x 13mm x 7mm and the next two were 24mm square x 6mm.The smaller one suits me better. I'm not keen on square box's,I prefer an oblong box as I find it more comfortable to hold and play and it looks good. Horses for courses,really....

Hi Bill, I am still a novice at CBG building, but I think you have a real opportunity to do what you want with your second build. Take a good look at the pictures pages and there are all kinds of things to aspire to.
