Best reso tone?

[Boogie Man]

I've been wanting a Dobro, but could't justify the expense, since I'm not even in a band, so I want to build a CBG reso. What kind of makeshift resonator comes closest to Dobro tone without buying a "storebought" cone? Any how to video links for reso builds would be appreciated as well.

actually Jef's totally right-I was comin' at it from my perspective, (which is rather one sided!) erring as I do on the nasty dirrty blues side a things.
This is Mr.Chookybones saying ta ta for now!

I started making my first resonator.  I went to the Dollar Store and found a small metal pet food dish.  Total cost $1.00. Check out the little paw prints embossed in the dish on the second picture.  I made a biscuit out of some 1/8" oak and a small piece of bar stock.  I don't know how it will sound yet but when I finish it I'll get back with you

There's also license plate resos that work well...
