   Then all you gotta do is lay the bar across it to find the other chords. I used to mess around some on a lap steel (got plans to build one for myself) tuned in open "E" and tried a Dobro in open "G", but never tried in "D". Anyway, I like that thing.

That looks really nice, Todd.  Good work there.  I didn't even know weissenborns existed until I got to this forum.  They really are cool.

Looks really good Todd! I like the simplicity of these instruments (maybe not simplicity... hmm I don't really know the word I'm looking for). Definitely very clean!

What is the total weight of it? How was the khaya to work and do you think it would make a good guitar as well? Tired of my questions?

Thanks for sharing!

Todd,

That looks really sweet I wouldn't say it looks simple I'd say it looks elegant. Great workmanship. Are you pleased with the sound? They sure do rumble!

Don't worry about the fretwork - take Rick's advice and practice on a lot of "beaters" and you'll get it sussed in the end and at the same time you'll suss out the the intonation too

[QUOTE=ToddStock] Dave...too funny...we now have inside Weissenborn jokes. When are you starting your double neck [/QUOTE]

Todd,

I showed Martha the Paddy Burgin videos and the begging/pleading has already started Current negaotiations have it as her Christmas/birthday present which would make it February 2008. All I have to do now is find some woods . . . oh, and work out how to make it work

I agree with Dave White, It looks elegant. Love the headstock veneer. If mine comes out looking half as good as yours, I will be very happy. Great Job!
