What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here (at least one sentence long), your membership may be rejected as a spam/bot fake account).
Each one is a new adventure and learning experience / engineering challenge.
Hey Bluesheart. Thanks for taking a peak and the compliment. Oily and Reeds have both been a big help. Would have built 20 more guitars before I figured out some of the stuff if at all. :) Since I saw your harp mics I have been on the hunt for old telephones, haha.
Thx for your comments Bluesheart, glad you had a peek at my little projects :) I'm still very new at this so very happy to receive some good comments! Gonna get some more boxes at the end of the week and build on, this stuff is addicting.
I like your work, really creative and beautifull! Especially the 'Curly head' , your wife must have been very happy!
Thanks, my wife made the sign out of a piece of our shed that blew off in a storm. Every time I move it a little chunk falls off. Eventually we'll need a new sign.
Hi friend, back to the piezo in the biscuit, I'm looking for that rough sound like how Elmore James, (& a few others) sound, is the sound a bit "softened" if it's buried ?Feeling creative= good medicine! Hope you get back to your ole self soon! Take care , Martin.
To answer your question, caster cups are those semi-flexible things you put under chair or table legs to protect your floor surface. I used 1 3/4" "Super Sliders" from Walmart. I used one for the mic element gasket and one for the grill which I drilled holes in and painted. They were shaped to fit with a Dremel. I was pleased with the results and they are cheap.
Hey Bluesheart, good to have you as a friend. This shaving horse design was based on one in Roy Underhill's book. I think it was called The Old Woodwright's Shop. He has several books out but I think it's this one. I used 2x6 pine material rather than splitting an oak log like he does in the book but everything else followed his plans. Good luck! I use it all the time for many other things besides shaping necks.
Thanks for the kind comment, really enjoy looking at your pictures and creations. Wishing you a wonderful weekend from 60 degrees North in a little place called Shetland, Scotland!
would like to see pics of the rat rod as it progresses,,,,weirdest build i saw was a manure spreader made into a rat rod...think there are pics of it online somewhere
Hi Bluesheart ,good to meet you too :-) Just checked our your Dulcimer video , sounds real nice .... John Boy had a Dulcimer on season 1 of the Waltons ,though I bet he bought his at Ike Godsey's store lol :-D
Hi Bluesheart. Well I just came to check out your page after seeing you around the site and wow you've got some awesome music. Great harmonica, really strong vocals and, of course, that CBG rounds everything off and ties it together wonderfully. Lovely stuff indeed. Thanks for sharing with us :)
. It's pretty easy as long as the radio has a volume "pot" and not micro switches. It's such a cool, easy thing to do. And its seemless, you barely notice the jack. It's cool that the radio will still work normally too!
Thank you for the comment Bluesheart, if you check the latest photos of the Black Brick House you will see a great improvement as I took Uncle Johns suggestion to heart and made the necessary change to the bridge support and it changed the whole dynamics/looks of the build to a much cleaner and better looking CBG - Glad to hear you are doing ok after the heart attack - just took a look through your pictures - you do some nice work and the songs you do are good as well - have a great day
Hey man great music - nice vocals and playing - wanted to say Thank You for your comment on the changes made to Black Brick House due to Uncle John's suggestion - I really appreciate all you guys and your constructive criticism and good eyes
Thanks for the friend request Bluesheart - gladly accepted - still can't get over your great vocals and playing - keep on keepin on brother and stay well.
