Very interesting - cool video. One minor suggestion to noobies wanting to copy- get yourself a "third hand" soldering workstation helper. Basically a few alligator clips on movable arms, but makes it so much easier to solder to the back of the pots as (around 11:20)
Its called 'helping hands' and they used to be hard-ish to find, now you can them at Harbor Freight www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=helping+hands
+Tioga Fretworks I've heard different nomenclature. So far they've all been fine, but personally I prefer "third hand." For me, at least, it's a bit more surreal, and so fitting for my way of communing with the universe. Also, Scrap Wood City, nice work! You took a short victory lap at the end, though the world now has one more unique, organic-sounding instrument. I found it to be not unheroic, and not lacking a certain quality suggesting adventure/s yet to come. I have accumulated a little selection of cigar boxes. Any suggestions for one who would like to begin to incorporate them into a similar project(s) would be appreciated.
Please forgive. Just found such video which you have already produced, detailing said cigar box project. And as tomorrow (when I awake) will, most fortuitously, be a "Sunday at home" perhaps an opportunity to begin will present itself.
great video!! Plus love the playing at the end. i didnt know what an electric lap guitar would sound like. Once again proof that both woodworking and music doesnt care about where you are from.
First of all thank you for taking the time to show the world your work. It is very inspiring! And the speed at which you made this is incredible! Only kidding
That was fricking awesome ! Great work ! Incredible speed (LOL - I knew it was sped up) ! It looks solid, it sounded great & you play very much ! Great job !
Scrap wood City y'all are inspiring. Just made 5string electric fiddle. Next month 4strng electric standing bass. Others to come. Marketted under name. Hillbilly Instruments.
This is so good that as an electronic tech I will not complain about the soldering, it works, that's all that matters. would have been even better if I didn't have to turn the volume down when the high speed, high pitched router came in.
+Luís Felipe Dib thank you! Never said I teach anything! I just show how I made it, from that procedure someone might perhaps learn something or gets inspired! If I just wanted to show my work I wouldn't bother to shoot and edit so many scenes of the procedure! I would go straight to the final result!
Nice job! I was expecting the typical instructional video, with poor camera work, insufficient detail, and tedious verbal explanation. You did a great job in all respects. Not sure if a novice would be able to follow your templating procedures, but I could. The fast action and background music made it all flow smoothly. Congrats!
Nice project ..... clever solutions ..... I would experiment with thickness and materials for the nut (small changes make big sound differences) ............. JRW
Very nice work. Love how fast ya did it. I really like what ya did buuuuuut lol your good with the tools not so much with the iron. Might want to work on that a little bit more. I wish I had all those tools. I'm working on it. Cool Vid :)
Really nice. I would recommend that you work on your soldering skills. Wires should be hooked and wrapped around posts to make a sound mechanical connection first. Solder is soft and wires can tear out of it. It shouldn't be used as an electrical connection, not a mechanical one. Other than that.... GREAT VIDEO.
I've been wanting to build a lap steel, now I'm thinking of using a waterjet to cut the body/neck/etc in different layers to avoid having to route stuff out... 🤔
Aha! This is what you've been up to! Great job mate and really enjoyed this vid. Incidentally perspex or similar hard plastic will make a very acceptable nut on a home build stringed instrument - much easier to work than stainless steel (and maybe a bit safer too) ana easier to find lying around. You spent som time with the fret calculator - was it necessary for a slide guitar? Looking forward to your next brain-child!
Mark McCluney thank you very much! I liked the nut too. The frets positions are not necessary but it is nice to have a reference point on where you are in the fretboard. It helps you keep your playing in tune and learn the distances of your instrument. The fret calculator is very helpful because it helps you make instruments in any scale you like.
Really good vid! but LISTEN ! the sound of the tools are in key with the music! please check it out, im not crazy. just an old Frank Zappa fan with a good hearing.
Rainday Bow because this instrument is played with a slide on the finger. When you play slide guitar you play over the fret and not in between. The lines and the dots help you play in tune. This guitar is actually fretless! I hope I helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Rainday Bow I have played lap and pedal steel since I was 7 years old. I currently have a U-12 pedal steel. I've never seen the fret markers on the fret. They're always in between.

i would literally go insane listening to that background track for fourteen minutes
Garrett Lang it’s beautiful and you know it
same
Just be thankful that he didn't play the same song when he finally played his demo at the end 🤔😂😂
what is the name of it?
I've heard this song on many videos, but this channel uses it in every video I've seen, so I dub it the Scrap Wood City song.
Time could not have been spent better. Thank you.
I thank you

thank you
Awesome - therapeutic - nice sound.
nice to fear that
Wow! You're pretty good with the tools! Great job!
+estigia thank you very much
VERY NICELY DONE, HA-CHA!
thank you
i really like your idea on making this slide guitar. im making one now .. with fender pick up ..and Gibson bridge.. lol thank you. you are Awsome...
thank you very much
So smart ! Make well and play well.
thank you
This solo is awesome!
thank you
inspired! Now I have 3 fence posts, 1 sounds like a electric fiddle, 1 like a stand up bass, and last a lap steel. Total build time about 20 min each
Nice, thanks for watching and commenting
Scrap wood City y'all are inspiring. Just made 5string electric fiddle. Next month 4strng electric standing bass. Others to come. Marketted under name. Hillbilly Instruments.
That's a beautiful SG
Pablo Andino thanks it's my favorite guitar!
shit i thought he was going to cut up that SG in the beginning. almost had a heart attack
lol
Same. I also tought he used the SG BRIDGE AND ALL THAT STUFF... almost died until i read the description.
He makes really good guits tho
ßilly ßadass j
Your name is basically "Ssilly Ssadass" lol
So cool, nice sound. Μπράβο!
Anthony Prokos σε ευχαριστώ!
Some sweet tools you got, nice guitar
Buck Man thank you

would have been even better if I didn't have to turn the volume down when the high speed, high pitched router came in.
Thank you very much, very glad you liked it
Nice sounds great I Love building these
Nice video! I'll try to do my lapsteel guitar...
+Tanihcstuag nice! Thanks for watching!
On the one hand, simply excellent build... on the other, I sort of feel like it deserved to be made from a nice solid piece of wood.
Thanks, much more expensive and hard to find. But in future if I decide to make another I guess I will use a proper tone wood.
Cool! Спасибо за подробный рассказ.
Sergej Pypec thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome guitar and video! 👍
Thank you
Your video sounds great man. Don't take me the wrong way, but it is not teaching anything. You are just showing your awesome job. Thanks, anyway.
+Luís Felipe Dib thank you! Never said I teach anything! I just show how I made it, from that procedure someone might perhaps learn something or gets inspired!

fan'fricken'tastic. great build.
Stephen Andrusco thank you!
εισαι one of a kind ρε φιλε μπραβο
Σε ευχαριστώ φίλε μου
Pretty simple....if you have every tool in a woodshop!
I think the most difficult tool to have for this build is the router. But you can skip this step with a mallet and chisel.
Ακόμα μια απίστευτη δουλειά...
***** σε ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!
Great video, but
Does it djent?
I like that it has a humbucker instead of a single coil pup.
This is a good video , and you did a good job. cheers!
Great job, man!
Very cool! Job well done!
Construct Icon thank you
Ultra cool, dude.
Thank you
So so so AMAZING I love it!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😍😍
+munchthebanico thank you very much!
Awesome work!!! Really enjoy watching it!.
thank you very much
What's the song you used during the build? Someone else answered this, but it wasn't really a straight answer.
Scrap Wood City, I Love your videos. ❤
thank you
Love it Scrap Wood City!!
Nicholas Gomez thank you very much!

Thanks,....Great build !
I thank you
Very nice loved it.
Billy Gault thank you!
Very nice work. Love how fast ya did it. I really like what ya did buuuuuut lol your good with the tools not so much with the iron. Might want to work on that a little bit more. I wish I had all those tools. I'm working on it. Cool Vid :)

thank you! lol
LOVE THIS!
sbrnrmf thank you very much!
Nice guitar, nice video.
Barry's Workshop thank you very much!
hi AGAIN scrapwood city, what is the name and brand of the electric saw at 1.16? Thanks so much!!
+Timothy Daly it is a jigsaw! As far as the brand is concerned I won't say! It is not that good quality anyway!
Love the sg
Job well done!
thank you very much

pooterduude1 thank you very much! I hope I will improve on my soldering technique!
Beautiful build but, I was curious, what takes longer, the build or the filming/editing?
For me the build! The rest are pretty easy for me!
muito bom parabens!!! inspirador!! mas se bem que pelo trabalho, voce já é mestre na arte de lida com madeira...abraço
Good job
thank you
Do you keep all of the instruments you make when you're done or are they sold?
I keep them
good job man
thank you
I've been wanting to build a lap steel, now I'm thinking of using a waterjet to cut the body/neck/etc in different layers to avoid having to route stuff out... 🤔
Μπράβο!
Ευχαριστώ
Respect !
+A.R. K. Thank you very much, for watching and commenting!
What's the song that you played at the end called?
time, give me time! i need to build one of these!
Willem Kossen lol, can't wait to see and hear it!
that was cool.
jessereevesart thank you very much!

Τέλειος ήχος πραγματικά. Τι μάρκα είναι το humbucker;
TheGxpana σε ευχαριστώ πολύ! Το μαγνήτη τον πήρα μεταχειρισμένο online και είναι μάλλον από κάποια φθηνή squier fat strat!
I think you should make a pickup with scrap wood for bobbins
Mükemmel...
Volkan Aytug thank you very much!
Really good vid! but LISTEN ! the sound of the tools are in key with the music! please check it out, im not crazy. just an old Frank Zappa fan with a good hearing.
freakin' kool...very nice , thanx
...annnnd , sounz great too
thank you
Amazing job! How many hours total?
+Greg Scott thank you! Don't know about the hours. I would say a week and about 1-2 hours of work a day!
Some of the noises are kinda funny. The hammering @ 5:06 had me goin
Jack Mehoff ya gotta watch when he gets his chisel out in other videos and hits it with the hammer...awesome! Btw...cool name. Lmao!
Crude, but effective!
please make the music stop, i love everything else.
Agree. Would much rather listen to the sound of the tools. Awesome channel otherwise.
Random Guy: So, Gibson or Fender?
This Dude: Umm, it's pretty complicated.
Thanks man.!
good job how do you get the plains to make it
description, or improvise
Why are the dots on the frets placed on the line and not on the spaces?
Rainday Bow because this instrument is played with a slide on the finger. When you play slide guitar you play over the fret and not in between. The lines and the dots help you play in tune. This guitar is actually fretless! I hope I helped! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Scrap wood City thanks for the information. :)
Rainday Bow I have played lap and pedal steel since I was 7 years old. I currently have a U-12 pedal steel. I've never seen the fret markers on the fret. They're always in between.
pooterduude1 that's nice. you are a talented person
Maybe try different background music once in awhile? Electric lap steel guitar would've been nice.
Actually I have a couple of years to use background music in my videos. This is an old video!
how much is it, it is for sale?
Cool!👍😎
A decent new one is $345 at Sweetwater.
Cool vid though. Must be nice to have that much free time.
plod if you have the will and patience you can do it with around 60euros! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Scrap wood City
I WISH I did!
Gotta do this! :-)
Que madera es?
Do you mind passing the title of that song?
bro nice SG w/ Floyd rose
