Interesting builds ... might be some ideas for builders

[Ted Duncan]

So I came across this young fella, Burl, on YT. He builds solid body guitars out of almost anything including news papers, colored pencils, jaw breakers and even coffee beans. In truth, he sets most of this stuff in resin epoxy and builds on that that. https://www.youtube.com/@BurlsArt/featured

Yesterday he put out a vid on a lap steel that I thought was pretty neat. He cast it from about 1600 aluminum Radio Shack coins. I think the neck is the most interesting about the build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McaeLtAPLFg&t=4s Keep in mind this is his first lap steel build and has never played one before. This visd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6-kfg17J3Q&t=0s is his final thoughts on the build.

I wish I could post a couple pictures but I don't have a clue how to do screen shots off YT.

Look through his other builds, there might be some ideas there.
