Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm not sure how to reply to individual comments on this site.

Nice 1st build Cobber, also being an Aussie, I'm a big fan of Arnott's Bicky Tin Builds, have built several of different types, and still have a few tins left in the shed, and cannot walk past one when I'm searching through Op Shops etc., usually as cheap as chips at around 50cents or a Dollar  :-D

Good job and neat tin.  I suggest you go to page top under Resources/How to play and find knotlenny's cbg 101.   Or just google it.  Good lesson.

Yep I daresay I will build another when I find the right box/can. There's still stuff I want to do with this one - the neck is pine, which I found out after I started was not a great idea. It works and hasn't bowed yet (mostly because I've got light gauge strings on it), but I may replace the pine with a hardwood if it breaks. The tin is an ANZAC biscuit tin (it's an Australian thing). Thanks for the comment!

Now that you got that out of the way, you can build another

Thanks. I'm going to post more photos as well as a description of my first build.
