This video is the extended version of my CBG build video I published back in January which can be seen here: • How To Make A Fretted ... In this video I've removed my own dialogue explaining each step of the build process so you can enjoy just listening to the tools and watching wood being chipped away. #NightHawkInLight

You know what's funny? It seems like every time you want to show us something important (like the screws or the frame), you're silently yelling "look at this. LOOK AT IT!" while gripping said item. I love it.

You build stuff like me. Using the chisel as a straight edge. Using nails as the frets. Using chisels instead of band saws. Hand sanding instead of a sander. I like it. Makes me want to try and build one.

I think you have some really inventive ideas that solve a lot of problems when thinking about the construction of something like this, but there are some considerations you might want to think about which though might make it more difficult to construct would improve the sound of the instrument. The sound generates from the soundboard vibrating, which in your case is really just the neck and perhaps part of the cigar box. I'd suggest try making the portion of the neck that runs along the cigar box much thinner. It'll be able to vibrate more easily. The thickness of the neck makes dampens the sound by not allowing for much vibration. If you notice acoustic guitars don't pull the neck all the way to the bridge. They stop at the body for this reason. That of course makes it hard to have a solid bridge which can handle the tension of the strings and not make the instrument collapse on itself. So for guitars they add bracing, which also helps to control the type of sound. Different bracing patterns underneath the soundboard create different effects. Dulcimers on the other hand just place a neck over a soundboard and run the whole way of the instrument. What's different is that they place they neck on top of the soundboard, and don't cut into it. This way the neck isn't the soundboard, and the box is. The idea is to have the neck be carved in arches so that the neck touches the soundboard in as few places as possible. This allows the soundboard to vibrate more freely and produce more sound. You could perhaps not cut away the box top (soundboard), and instead lay a thin neck over, arched in several places so as to touch in very few spots. This might allow for the box to vibrate a lot more than a very thick wooden neck. This will give a much brighter sound less thuddy less dampened. I'd also suggest tilting your headstock, you really do want a good angle where the strings meet the nut. Your design is really interesting. As engineering it's quite brilliant. For quality of sound I'm not sure it works as well as it could though. It's a really inventive way to do it though and impressive using readily available materials. A good angle on that nut going downward should really improve things, and keep notes in tune so they don't vary when the string is being plucked. Just a few thoughts. Not trying to ding your design at all and I think it's really cool. You've got a good mind for engineering things.

Very nice, thanks. Seems like a great project to do with the kids. The way you shape the fret board by chisseling seems unnecessarily laborious to me though. You should be able to remove much of that material a lot faster and more precisely with a saw and use the chisel only to shape the curves.

Hey mate. Been a big fan of yours for a long time now, but have (unfortunately) never had the time nor space/tools to attempt one of your projects. However, this one is within my abilities, and I thought as an avid guitarist I should definitely choose this as my first. Just wanted to ask though; if I wanted to make a curved neck profile on the back like a manufactured guitar, should I use a plane, or a lot of sandpaper, or even something else like a rasp? Thanks in advance, and keep making videos, because they're fantastic.

Joseph Cooper You would likely have to glue another piece of wood to the back of the headstock so there's enough room to cut out the angle. Then cut it carefully with a saw or rasp it down, whatever.

Idk if I'm missing something here, but why are you making things harder for yourself by doing everything with a chisel rather than sawing off some material? It's faster and the blocks you saw off might be repurposed somewhere rather than ending up with a pile of useless shavings that you need to clean up. The ingenuity with the metal work was amazing tho ❤️

Hello I think your instruments are awesome I was just wondering why you don’t do a nut at the top of the neck. I’m getting the idea that with the strings being pulled upwards mite keep the fret buzz away. Idk was just wondering..... great job. I think I’m going to try to make one soon and with your video it’ll help 😀
@Nighthawkinlight
@Nighthawkinlight 6 жыл бұрын
If you put a nut at the top you have to angle the headstock down so the strings put pressure on the nut. Using the staples and a piece of wood under the strings to lift them means you don't have to make an angled headstock.

Hi, I'm a huge fan of your projects. Some of my favorites include creating hydrogen with aluminum and hcl and the pasta rocket engine. I have actually attempted both and was amazed by how well they worked. The design of the apparatus used for making hydrogen is very simple yet effective and so it made me think, would it be possible to use with other chemical reactions? After thinking for a bit I remembered your pasta rocket engines and realized that the hydrogen generator could be used to make large amounts of O2 as well with some small adjustments (like using manganese dioxide from batteries as a catalyst for decomposition instead of yeast). I was hoping you could try this and maybe let me know how it goes. Ps: If you do actually attempt it, it might be fun to use some math and predict the oxygen yield beforehand using the volume and concentration

How many strings could you get on this? I've seen cigar box ukuleles and even a six stringed model, but it used a premade neck from a Gibson. Would I be right in saying 6 strings would have too much tension for this design, or is it just a case of making a wider neck?
