Thanks so much Richey! I appreciate it. As far as the name. There were a few other people out there with my name and our stuff was getting mixed up on iTunes, so I decided to change it.

The original chair leg wood width was 2.5 inches. The bridge is a 1/2 inch banjo bridge with standard spacing. The scale length is 19.75 inches. It does not have a truss rod.

Thanks bunches Richey! I have been singing the Beatles song when I am 64 all day lol now I am as old as UJ!!! Yikes
Thanks again Richey.Let me see your version of that box when you've finished it
Glad that taping worked out well for you, it's a lot more cost affective than trying to shield a whole cigar box.
Thanks again Richey
