Fancied having a bash at making a strumstick for a buddy. We were both really chuffed with the end result :-) which produced such a awesome sound .

I really enjoyed watching this build process, I’m a guitar builder who uses mostly hand tools for my builds (other than a bandsaw and router), this gave me a really great idea for a travel size guitar.

👍👍 very cool. Well done. Primarily I'm a Tele player but have been bored lately so I just started on a custom Cigar Box Guitar. I wish I had some of the tools your shop has, but a lot can be said for doing it yourself & seeing it come to life☺️ you definitely inspired me to finish mine 👍👍

@No1projects Жыл бұрын

That's a very cool of you to say ,I'm glad you liked it and I hope you finish your project , Most of my tools are just budget tools or inherited still working my way up 🙂👍👍

I got in a little over my head. Lol. My box is actually 6 sided, none of the angles are normal & limited tools. But I'll finish it 😀 thanks for posting this & I'm glad I found it, it really made my day 👍

I built a cigar box guitar with only two handsaws, some wood rasps and spade bits. Don't overthink, and just build what needs to be built. I bought lumber that was close enough in dimension, I didn't need to cut it down with a table saw or whatever. I ended up giving it to a friend who liked it.

I just had a thought. I have a boat oar that I use for a pattern for 3 and 4 string guitars, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to fashion an instrument such as yours based on the boat paddle profile. I'd have to make it a shade thicker through the body. Thanks for the idea. 😊😊😊

And I am pleased to see you still have all your fingers !! Watch out with that bleeding rotary saw or there wont be no more music. Looking forward to the tuning details how long between nut and bridge, what notes it is tuned to and include the octave. For example G3 or whatever. What gives it its tone because a small body will not have much resonance. Sounds good, what else do you play because you make this look easy and nothin is easy to start with. Thanks Brian

@No1projects Жыл бұрын

Ha ha I think the camera angle makes the saw look a little closer to my fingers than it is. I think the resonance comes from the neck stretching out to become the side of the body .It's tuned to D2. And that's my friend Steve playing his own composition, he also plays bass ,mandolin ,drums and a little guitar .Thanks for watching 🙂

I wish I could build guitars and similar instruments. But I have: a. no knowledge (of both how musical instruments work and of woodworking), b. no tools, c. no documentation, d. no workshop, e. no time, f. no money to do it. So I guess it will forever be my dream...
