David, I got a bunch of cigar boxes at Binny's for 50 cents a pop.

Thanks James. I see they're readily available on line. No Binny's on the east coast, but I ought to be able to find one at one of the local flea market/antique joints.

what tuning did you use for the cigar box steel

Here's a 3 stringer that Braxton Nagle is making for me...just needs strings and a volume knob now...might have to get it's big brother after seeing these


beauties.

Looks like a clawfoot tub overflow drain cover for a sound hole.Nice job.

Mine is tuned to open E

James, that brickhouse is a fine looking instrument. Let us know how it sounds once you get the strings on it.
