I posted a recent video where I made a diddley bow in 10 minutes. It came out surprisingly well for how quickly I did it, but I decided to go back and modify a few things to make it a little more robust... and just for fun, I painted it orange.

Every video is rough until you edit it Taffy. Including this one. Ha ha. No, I totally get what you're saying. Making 3 or 4 videos out of one video is sometimes a better way to consume it.
Thanks for checking in Taffy and Brian. I like to watch build vids whether they're 2 min or 2 hours.
Most people use those hooks on the headstock for hanging.Taff, make it into a Blog post with a description of what’s entailed & include a link to the video on YouTube? Or cut it down into 2 or 3 parts, easy peasy?
Hi, looks like you had fun doing that video, well done. I have a build video I want to post but it’s possibly too big, runs for about 30mins, and I can’t shorten it.

Thanks John. Maybe it will become a new trend. Plant hook plank diddleys.
I like what you did with it!
Thanks Doug. It's kinda funny cuz the original build was just about throwing something together but now... I really like it.
That Diddley bow cleaned up nicely Kale! It looks great; orange suits it well. Another fun video.
