It was great to meet you at Junk stock. We made it home in one piece to Mankato. Your cigar boxes are a sight to see. I haven't decided to put the workmanship into mine like you do. They are beautiful. I started working on another one the minute I got home. Waiting for glue to dry now.
Thanks for the friending Maddog! Any friend of Uncle Johns is a friend of mine! ;-}} I dig your builds and your photo studio background (river)too! I grew up along a river in Minnesota. Our family farm had about a half mile of river frontage and I spent many summer days down there. That drive in speaker amp is cool! Might have to invest in one if you build some to sell!
Hi Maddog. Inspired by your latest picture I'm starting on a new project today. Trying to make it look as good as your builds. That will take a lot of time and learning and give a lot of pride and fun.
Hi Maddog! #2 is out. It did'nt become a double-neck, maybe next time. My Oldest son (21) just wanted a "lute-neck-guitar", and he's a nice guy so "lute-neck" it became. Question: When did you start your building career? And how and why? The best!!
Just starting to work on it! The funny thing is...I don't play guitar! I'll have to wait for my husband to get home from work to play it and tell me if it works!
thanks Maddog for the complement,right back at ya.it was Candace who mentioned to me about a book in our local book store on building C B G s.now like everyone else I'm hooked.She's got my second build,my first one went to my oldest daughter for her 22nd birthday.anyway thanks again,take care,hope to talk to you again soon.Pete

I have one of those large screened grommets, approx. 2".
What is the best method for holding it in a cedar box?
The top is only .110 thick. I'm thinking glue.
I need knowledge from a master.

This is the tambourine stick I was talking about. I cut the skin off and put an 1/8" disk in place. I went a little crazy with the paint.
