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.

Hi Brian Q, I did not want to put the video out on youtube, as it's a bit rough around the edges and unedited, but I thought the content would be good for new member builders as was the person it was made for at the time. I have tried for months to find a way to make it into episodes. I'll keep trying.

Sorry to highjack your thread poorness.

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.

Comment by Uncle John on May 25, 2022 at 2:13am

I like what you did with it!

Comment by Poorness Studios on May 25, 2022 at 1:10am

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.
