Construction Begins

On a Thursday I pretty much have the whole day off, so I was able to spend almost the entire day in the workshop, this gave me time to make mistakes and think about them and work out how I would do it. After coming up with the basic shape I began work on the parts on which I knew what I was doing. I began construction on the base/Neck and the Slider (as I decided to call it).
 This took allot longer than originally planned as I messed up numerous times, and ended up changing woods for the slider. The wood I had used at the end of the neck I thought left a well finished look that I really liked. i decided to use this same wood for the Slider. I had some Ideas for the rest but I knew that before I began planning I would need to go out the rest of the needed bits and pieces such as a tuning peg and a guitar string.

In the picture above, the slider has a trial metal price on it just to trial what it might sound like once I had the string connected.
