I'm in the same boat as you Mark Brock. So far it seems to me that it IS easier than it was when I was 14. I'm actually starting to learn and can do a couple songs without watching a video. Having fun!
OK here's a little tip I found on YouTube.
Basically it's for doing inlay work with a dremel type of tiny router and a means of blowing away the dust so you can clearly see your design. Simple and ingenious. If you plan do do inlay have a peek.
Just thought I would join this group. I don't declare myself a super advanced builder but I do have that "what happens when I do this" attitude.
Just starting out. I'm currently on build #9. Check out my Youtube channel where I post video overviews of each build. This is so much FUN !!! :-)
It's about time I step up from the beginners forums to the advanced builders, so here I am. Over the holidays I built some sub woofer boxes for my neighbor's truck. I did a fair amount of research into the methods of improving sound quality the audiophiles are using (ported, Ducted & T-Line boxes) and it occurred to me that our cigar boxes are simple speaker boxes with the soundboard/bridge acting like a speaker. So this week I'm diving into methods of internal baffling to enhance the sound quality of my instruments using the principles employed in building advanced speaker boxes. Has anyone else gone in this direction?
Took smilingdog1's advice on the PB100. It came today and made a HUGE difference with my 2.5 watt cigar box amp. Thanks for the advice, I'll find a good pot for my next build. What size capacitor should I use for the tone?
Cool, thanks, Smilingdog1
