Our backgrounds, cultures and countries are wide and varied, but we are united in the joy of building musical instruments and making music. We are a part of the larger Maker community, and we share many of the same goals

I know you don’t need years of training before you can make a fun, playable musical instrument. You don’t need a fully-equipped workshop, or the best tools.

    Rich, something to think about, we don’t always need a box to build a guitar? Also , have you thought about warming up on a soupcan canjo, one stringers are the easiest & plenty of fun? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KHx6wCa64s0
