Wow! Great analogy! Thanks so much for clearing that up.....I have seen several tutorials where all that is used is glue, but I honestly thought they just didn't want to mess w nails and such. Thanks again for helping me understand. Now if I could just find some 1/8" ply! :)

[@fernandogarciaferesin8365]

Fiz dois com este sistema e ficaram ótimos! Agora farei mais dois. Thank you!

[@aleksandra8359]

Thank you. This video helped me fix my cajon

[@drumjunkie24]

Cool snare tension system. I'm making and modding cajons over on my channel and have to try your setup some day. Thanks for sharing.

[@diyforge]

yes that will be strong enough. You can glue a small strip of wood purely for safety in the corners. I weigh over 100 kg and I can sit on the cajon. Very stable.

[@timotiusasbanu9732]

Baru Tau saya , cara memasang snare di cajon

[@diyforge]

Itu membuatku sangat bahagia

[@diyforge]

Thus, the cajon has a good sound is the main frame has only been glued. With white wood glue. No screws and no nails. The back plate provides stability 5mm. The main frame is composed of simple rectangles. You do not need special tools.

[@MarcenariadaFloresta]

Usei sua ideia.. fiz um pouco diferente mais também usei o esticados de cabo de aço para isso... Obrigado pela dica.

[@guitarpolish7]

I especially like using the turn buckle to adjust the snare.

[@diyforge]

The cajon is an acoustic instrument. So that the sound is clean all surfaces to be glued. Except for the front panel. This is with many small screw mounted. A guitar or a violin would not mount with screws and nails.

¡ Por Favor, nos gustaría escuchar su Sonido y como trabaja ese Cajón ... ! Gracias.

[@arturoguzco1022]

El cajón es netamente Peruano y su sonido es único no hay mas

[@jmckay96]

Great video, thanks much

[@skoi2222]

Great ! I wonder why you gave that strange shape for the hole in the backplate ? Does it modify the sound ? how ?

[@guitarbrad]

What kind of wood are you using? Can you use pine if you use plywood for the front? Great video btw.

[@diyforge]

I used plywood because it is the easiest and cheapest matrial for me. do you have the opportunity to buy boards from 30x40 cm pine are very straight? I have no experience with it but you can test it easily.

[@carlosmante]

In Mexico was developed a Cajon independently of the peruvian cajon. It is called "Cajon de Tapeo".www.quazoo.com/q/Caj%C3%B3n%20de%20tapeo

[@cacurious]

Ok. Potential dumb question..... How does the absence of nails or screws improve the sound? Maybe you just meant it wasn't necessary? idk. Thanks for posting these vids! They really help. :)

[@MartyLuminarty]

Well....... How does it sound ?!

[@MegaSupercam]

I like that!

[@networkunplugged]

clever

[@ChannelofRichPierik]

Brilliant!

[@carolkampstra3474]

hey i was just wondering if you would be able glue the "holders" in instead of screwing them??????

[@Duhul_de_alwis]

Can you please tell me what type of wood to use to make a chjon drum

[@diyforge]

The box is 12mm plywood, the front was 1.5mm plywood

[@GeorgeStrangeDrums]

how did u attach the main frame together, i dont have equipment to do a rabbet joint and don't feel like a simple glue and nail will be strong enough, did u nail or did u screw it together, thank you

[@alextecmelo]

Great job man!!! Is it a rope or an elastic assembled in the wood bar (0:26)?

[@diyforge]

it is a rope, no elastic part.

[@GeorgeStrangeDrums]

with no special joint? and one last thing what is the height, width and depth(front to back) of your whole cajon?

[@levicardoso6328]

Xou amigo. Mais onde comprar essa esteirinha?

[@rajaskomar6952]

Vayri good

[@GeorgeStrangeDrums]

so if i just use wood glue and stick the top on the sides, it will be strong enough?

[@johnreece6702]

Yes, I have one that is put together only using butt joints with wood glue, and it is still fine 10 years later. Many people well over 200 lbs have played it with no problems, so no worries.

[@pablojavierhenriquez]

just in case: that is a spanish cajón because it got metal pieces in it, the peruvian cajón is only the wood box and no more pieces.

[@pablojavierhenriquez]

si existe el cajón español/andaluz, a diferencia del cajón peruano el cajón español tiene bordoneras u otras piezas metálicas adentro para darle ese sonido. como tu dices, es un cajón que nació cuando paco de lucía lo importó a españa desde perú y le agregó las piezas metálicas. que no haya mencionado su origen peruano no significa que lo haya negado.

[@2Fa2Bu]

Pablo Henríquez. En Perú ya se habían experimentado la fabricación de cajones con cuerdas y bordoneras y otros materiales ... , pero para la música criolla peruana se optó por no usarlos ya que al dejarlos sin cuerdas no perdían sonidos graves y era el sonido que los de antaño preferían. (Te hablo de la década del 50 y 60 cuando ya veía esos cajones experimentales). Por lo tanto, podrás llamar Cajón Flamenco al estilo de tocarlo más no a la construcción del instrumento.

[@JEANgaddielart_127]

[@frankcarrollcarpentry1454]

THE background music is terrible! why? I had to stop watching it was making my ears bleed

[@olneymaryland77]

[@pondok5755]

Kawat nya namanya apa bos, dan bisa beli atau dpat dimana,,,makasih,,

[@maducajoncovers1905]

Wanna support from u

[@diyforge]

ok

[@tiberioagripa]

PERÚ agradece al mundo la difusión del CAJÓN sin falsear su nombre. En un proceso cultural de siglos, PERÚ desarrolló el CAJÓN en diferentes tamaños y materiales, CON CUERDAS Y SIN ELLAS. Llamarlo 'flamenco' es tendencioso. ¿Si lo uso para rock, jota o salsa será CAJÓN ROCKERO, JOTERO o SALSERO? Saludos

[@robertoveg]

Tiberio Agripa nadie dice que sea rockero!! Solo lo tocan diferente pero sigue siendo en esencia un cajón peruano. Soy peruano y me da gusto que sea del agrado de los luthiers extranjeros y músicos el cajón. Los luthiers pueden modificar el cajón o cualquier instrumento para adaptarlo a un estilo musical!!

[@robertoveg]

Tiberio Agripa Ya se aclaró que el cajón es peruano, un cantante de flamenco que llevó el instrumento a Europa lo aclaró!¡

[@frankfranklyn]

(Cough ... ) But how does it sound? :-/

[@diyforge]

sound ist good

[@frankfranklyn]

@@diyforge Great job then!

[@antontontonson9403]

where do i get the snare

[@pr9039]

buy a regular replacement snare (for a snare drum) from any music shop that sells percussion instruments.

[@silviasilvia4271]

How proses😬😬😬

[@reidsymo1]

Rather than playing that stupid background music during the video, why didn’t you demo the sound??

[@diyforge]

I built the Cajon for my friend. I can't play myself. But the sound is comparable to the purchased cajons.

[@KINGxLIZARDx22]

Looking the whole video.. expecting how it sounds.. and just nothing. Just that horrible music

[@oleg_buduev]

вы че все англичане где русские

[@charlesdaniel2313]

What the hell.. how it works. ?

[@diyforge]

A rope is twisted around the wooden axis. We shorten the rope with the turnbuckle and the wooden axis rotates. With this we regulate the pressure of the snare. Please have a look at my other videos about cajon. That makes it easier.

[@yikwanakwewa5349]

klo boleh tau berapa hargaya
