Likewise... Here's my main cigar-box axe currently:
http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/resonator-011?context=user
Four strings, resonator made from the lid of a girl-scout cooking set... Cover is just sheet aluminum. (none of them fancy store-bought resonators for me!)
Sounds great. Mounted a piezo on the inside of the "resonator" right under the bridge and put a volume control in as well.
Hi Stevie Vaughn,
There are about 3, maybe 4 different discussion groups on Cigar Box Nation where Reso-CBGs are talked about. I put together a fairly nice list of links on the group I manage: Home Made Resonator Boxes 101 My group was originally going to be about basic box building, but I erroneously used the word "resonator" in the title, so I get a lot of hits from people looking for information on reso-CBGs, resonator cone makers/sellers, and the like. So I will try to support their needs as well, although I am no authority on Reso-CBGs. The link page should prove handy.

I just started a reso with a cone from Old Lowe. I haven't figured out how to make a biscuit yet and would like suggestions on staining the wood.

Papa, I made a wood saddle with a dowel going down through the resonator hole and used a bit of glue. Can't recall now, but I probably put some support to the dowel bottom. You want pressure on the saddle, but I was concerned about having too much.
