The blacksmiths nail bridge is a NIIIIIIIIIICE touch, mate! A wonderful attention to vintage detail! Should conjure up some blues spirit mojo, oh yeah! CHEERS!

Thanks guys, the tuners are M8 bolts with half the thread ground of and a couple of 2mm holes drilled (1 for the string, 1 for the split pin) and a nylock nut to hold it all secure. The coins are attached buy cutting a slot in the head of the bolt then press the coin in with a vice, if its still loose...whack it with a hammer.

Yeah i love it when they look a hundred years old. Very inspired by some ancient delapidated boxes seen on line.

nice box, very very "oldschool", like the tuners, how are they exactly made ?
also great playing !

I'm a sucker for these rustic builds. How did you attach the coins to the tuners? They look awesome.
