Lots of nice work!
Thank you!
Great tip using the string guage to check the depth of your fret slots!
Those are...smokin'...! Great work!
+321bytor thank you
Dude....You have major skills!!!
Thanks! It's all about practicing. 👍
You've got a new fan 😎
Awesome! Thanks and welcome.
These are getting to be production quality. Nice work.
+Brian Donahue thanks Brian! I appreciate that.
Thanks for the terrific video! Beautiful guitars!
that riff was Kiling in the Name...Rage
Yeah!
I always look forward to watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Pinman you are a man of great patience and talent, i would hate the job rounding all the frets, im too shaky,be knicks all down the neck. Great work!!!
+Chad Lowrance the fretwork is my least favorite for sure.
Love watching this videos. Very profesional work!
Wow amazing job, really like them.
Great Job Jeff !!!.
+Brian Hinton thank you!
I'm a southpaw too!!
nice neat work, good job, on fretboards and necks!
Thank you!
really cool job !
Love your builds. Some beautiful guitars! Your daughter is as cute as a bug, too.
Thank you. I might be biased but I think so too. Lol.
My daughter that is.
EXCELLENT
Great Video. I am in the process of making my first cigar box guitar and this video showed me some great tools and jigs that I can now make or buy that will make the process much easier. You have to love what you do to make such an inspired video. The excitement of being in the creative groove really comes across.All art is a process. Learn the process, do the art. If you practice long enough someone is going to call you an artist. If you buy that bs you will lock yourself into that particular genre for the rest of your life. But if you keep at it until the process is nearly automatic and you can get into that creative groove you will find that you will make things that are better than you believe yourself capable of and you will realize that you can do this with any genre you wish to check out. I have been a working artist my entire adult life and I have never signed a single thing I have created. It may have been made by me but it but it has never been of me. I am a conduit that channels the creative energy through my hands into the piece I am creating. Every one is a blessing and I have been rewarded amply in the creation process. This is a very new genre for me and I am very excited about all of it because I can employ other skills I have, jewelry, carving ,musician, woodcrafting, and several others. I love the art that is already on these boxes. Thank you big time for the effort and the time you put into this video. If you have anything on making jigs and tools I would love to see it.
Blessings,
Brandi Walters
Thank You so much. You will enjoy making your cigar box guitar. Its a fun process for sure. Let me know how it turns out and if there's anything you need help with let me know.
@@homebuiltshop I am looking for a source for the slide off decals that you use for your name tags. Is it possible you could sell me a couple of sheets? At the moment I have five guitars on my bench. All of these are cigar box guitars however I have three others in mind their full size electric please let me know about these stickers. Thank you I truly love your inspiration. It's the only way to do art like this!
love your videos, Jeff.
Thank You so much!
Great guitars! !!
+Andi Gitarre thank you
You should try making an 8 or 9 string cigar box guitar with really thick strings
+Cereal Guy that would be nuts. Fun, but nuts. 👍
Good job 😎
Thanks 😁
Amazing work brother!
+Chris Zaferes thank you! 👍
You gave me some good ideas here and your guitars look pretty smooth. I quit using epoxy and use CA glue instead. Less messy and works great. Also I find that Mineral oil gives a great feel to a neck and can be easily redone periodically.
+Jim Rendle thank you. CA for the inlays? I'll have to try that. Does it hold up ok?
Im happy to see this video!!!Thank you so much!!!I feel perfect good!!!ありがとう😊
Great video! Very professional composition, cinematography, narration and most of all content. I am a professional guitarist of many years and have only recently (last year or so) discovered these super cool little instruments. I actually knew a guy that was making them ten or more years ago, but thought they where beneath me. Boy was I wrong! I love these things and would really like to make one for myself. I am most impressed with your neck construction. Absolutely beautiful! I’d love to see you make an in-depth, step by step build video. I’ve watched many videos of cigar box guitar builds and yours right up there at the top for all the reasons I’ve mentioned. I did want to ask if you might be interested in building a custom neck for me, Or perhaps even a complete guitar? I have several cool boxes to use. One is a 10” round box that looks like a record! I’d like to use this one but I don’t want to ruin it. But I think if Si had a neck I could do it. I have a bridge, a walnut neck, (blank) and a beautiful piece of rosewood cut for the fretboard. I also have fret wire, a single coil pickup that I made and a Tele pot/switch plate to use. I really just don’t know where to start on the neck and I don’t have a table saw, etc. let me know your thoughts and thanks again for the great video.
I would love a workshop. At the moment I have to do stuff in my room at my desk & dust is a pain in the ass. I also have COPD so dust is not good. Keep that respirator on! Great vid lad.
I know what you mean about the dust (emphysema). To add to my difficulties I also have macular degeneration so I wear magnifying glasses and usually with a flashlight in my mouth shining on the work - BUT - I love it!
me too i got dust pneumonia a few years back and I have never been the same since. I have the start of copd now. sucks i have to really watch it when i run so i don't over do it and end up wheezing and desperately trying to slow my breathing down and forcing as much air as i can out of my lungs so i'm not holding used air and getting nothing new into my aeveoli. scares the hell out of me when it happens. but from what i gather the best thing you can do is stay as active as possible and force yourself to breathe differently when you exert yourself. I breathe long and heavy right from the get go like i was almost out of breath and have found that it helps a lot u should try it
Thank you for your video. I’m trying to build my first cigar box one lol mines a wine box. It’s almost the same as the black box you have. I’m excited lol
It's going to be cool. Good luck with it. 👍
Thank you for responding and thank you I’ll need it haha🙂. Do you know where I can can get free guitar templates like printable ones full scale to glue down? I’ve been looking for so long now but now luck 😫😭 lol. I love your channel btw. Could you let me know how I could get some of your stickers so I can stick them everywhere 😉
very nice! as a fellow builder i find myself trying to walk a line between creativity and some innovation, and tradition... like even reading some of the comments here makes me wince a little at how many people are suggesting ramping this right up to 8 or more thicker strings and while that may be cool for someone to build, it ain't gonna probably be me... i'm not ready to see this taken over by the djent crowd yet... the coolest part of this whole thing is the awesome history of these and i hate to see that overrun with too much modernization... also, this is like a grunge thing really... in the same way grunge and alternative rock came in and instantly obliterated 80s/90s pop and metal... it's a response to the high priced retail music industry! i don't want to see this elevated into that arena... i don't want to see the cbg industry sell out and i do think it's headed that direction with prices of ~$450 showing up lately... that being said, real creativity demands pushing boundaries, so go go gadget evolution, i guess...
(after thought) my concern is that the big companies will get a whiff of the potential this has and then we'll see the Dean Smokey Joe Railroad Mississippi Delta River Swamp Junkyard Trash Can Alley Row Three String Loooooooooooooooooooousiana Cigar box Guitar.... please god, NEVER!!!
+mwarnken1234 I won't be building an 8 string either. The simplicity of them is what I like. Plus they're so fun to play.
Very impressive enjoyed the video greatly. Just finished making my third cigarbox guitar , they sound awesome. I wish you would’ve plugged in and played some more
She is so cute!
I know it’s an old video, but instead of drilling the fretboard you can burn them with a soldering iron.
Yes, that would work great.
Try super glue and masking tape instead of double stick tape
I've been using that lately. It works great.
Love the video, I haven't made a cigar box guitar yet, but I'm going to have a go.
I just wanted to ask a question, does the lid sit flat on the wood underneath, or is there a recess?
due, I built some cbg's but You are a PRO
the quiet one has some kind of MDF top wich "swallows" some of the resonance. sometimes using the boxes the other way around (the thick, somethimes MDF as back, the thin, usually wood as soundboard) solves the problem. next time....
+Matan Sagi that's exactly right. It's almost like a super dense cardboard. I may have to try using the back of some boxes. Thank you.
this is your calling, you can see ==the labor of love==the joy of the work== and ==the pride of a job well done==this is the right direction you==={{{{{{{{{{{great job}}}}}}}}}}}}}
+ricky davis thanks so much! I appreciate that.
Mate,that was amazing and nice guitars you builds.stunning looking guitars.job well done,mate.Cheers!!
Love the vids. Especially the guitar related ones. Have you tried making your own boxes for these?
+3DayFunk not yet. I'm enjoying working with the different boxes but may make a box sometime.
you can buy cheap epoxy at dollar stores and it works well :)
the camacho box has a very thick top compared to the others, thats why its so quiet.
I also discovered that I seems to be some sort of pressed paper or cardboard material. It doesn't seem to be actual wood.
@@homebuiltshop interesting, i didnt know that.
The big flat piece of metal you used to make your clamping plane to the piece... Where did you get that?
My local steel place has drops. Its heavy.
Wow your cigar box guitars are awesome. Ill try to make one with your video
Btw, i loved your mallet, did you make it with HDPE? And do u have a video of how to make it?
Thank you :^)
Thank you. The mallet is HDPE of some sort. I have a video on my channel of me making it. I use it a lot. 👍
What is the thickness of the neck blanks?
I start with around 1".
Nice work man if I gathered up some of my favorite things ants and sent them to you how much would you charge to build me one
Please send me an email to homebuiltshop@gmail.com
Do you sell those?
where do you get your waterslide decals?
+Corey Baker I ordered some waterside paper for a laser printer and made my own.
Shouldn't the piezo be in contact with the top!!! You recessed it in the neck
You get different sounds in different places. I was aiming for the top to contact the pickup when the box is closed.
what is the scale you used for these guitars?
They're 25.5"
Great job, very professional. Do you ever sell any of your cigar box guitars?
I do. When I have them available, they get listed on www.hayleyguitars.com.
Do you sell any 3 string cigar box guitars?
Yes, when I have some available they get listed on www.hayleyguitars.com.
I'm in the market for a bandsaw, what do you have? Suggestions? In the $1,000 range give or take a few hundred
+Philip Quinn mine is a Rikon. It's small because I don't have a lot of space. There are lots in your price range. I'd say read lots of reviews.
Rockler's if you have one near you would be my recommendation. They are pretty knowledgeable usually.
Do you sell these?
Yes. When I have some made they will be available at www.hayleyguitars.com
@@homebuiltshop Thanks.
The Camacho is quite because its a relatively small box with a very thick top. You should try making your own pickups its a lot of fun, I have a video on how I do it (there are probably better ways lol) ruclips.net/video/6-9HWCeTi50/видео.html
It looks too manufactured. I like the home made look myslef. But Nice work.
In the time of Chimpanzees I was a monkey!
Butane in my veins so I'm out to cut the junkie
It sounds great played on these.
