AGP #347 - “Puddy One String”
(One String Cigar Box Fiddle)
Scale: 330mm / 13inches
Violin String: 2nd A, Aluminium Alloy Wound, Solid, Steel Core.
The Neck is one piece Radiata Pine treated with Old Baltic Stain & Gilly Stephenson’s Clear Restoring & New Timber Polish, Sharpie Guitar Type Fret Markers, not sure if this is how ones supposed to do a Fiddle Build, but this is my version, using a few angles etc. found on Mr. Google and making it up as I went along, which is what I do with a lot of builds, thanks to Jim Morris for some String advice (still yet to be delivered and fitted) and Matthew Borczon for the idea and inspiration, remains to be seen if it becomes just another instrument in my collection that I can’t play, or not, but will certainly make an attempt to make a noise with it :-D

Oh I know what you mean but the head dose look great @nd yes I did the same but I contacted the seller and got the 12 for 60 bucks it didn’t seen to bother him . AGP

"Thanks Bones", I usually don't have the patience to do the slotted headstocks, but seemed the appropriate way to go on this build and with the type of Tuner used, I recently bought 10 of these Boxes for $60 delivered, and of course straight after purchasing, the same boxes by the same seller came up advertised as 12 for $60 delivered, which piffed me off quite a bit  ;-(

Very cool mate god to see you have a few cigar boxes to use up I like the slotted head it turned out real Pruddy for sure Sir .

"Thanks UJ", Cyclone Omar amounted to nothing but a lot of Media Hype, turned North and fizzled out, and left us with a little bit of rain, wind and a few nice cool days :-)

Looking good, Dave.  Matt has me inspired too.  It's been to cold to go out in the shop, but maybe today.  I hope I can find my bow.  A lot of stuff is packed for the move.
