I have been given a couple old hubcaps (rather heavy) which I want to build into 3-stringers. Many questions:
1. Is there an online tutorial you can point me to?
2. What are some good ways to attach the neck?
3. I will have to purchase tools for metal working... thinking a Dremel. Which model should I consider?
Any additional pointers greatly appreciated!!

Hey T-Gripped, did you get started on your hubcap guitar, do you need more info?

Taffy--Thanx for checking in!! I have not yet attempted any construction... still cogitating. The neck-build-up pix that Michael Fred Johnson posted are helpful.
I am not really wanting to build a separate drum however. And I'm still a bit fuzzy on how to attach the hubcap to the neck.
Currently planning to mount a single coil pup to the neck.
Hi T-G, just posted the first of a series of build photos that may give you some ideas to use, now or in the future.
Cheers Taff
