This is something I finished recently. I'm very pleased with the resulting guitar. For those people who would like an inexpensive, ready-at-a-moments-notice, fun, knock-about acoustic lap guitar, something like this is worth considering. No fancy tools or jigs needed to build.
More pictures and explanations.

Here is a quick flash video to give you some idea of its sound. Sorry about the poor lighting.
