hola amigo! please give me LOS PLANO , o las medidas EXACTAS !! jejejej gracias !

Do you sell these?

Awesome brother 😃

Where did you get the plans for this build?..

You didn't hook the Jack to anything? Beautiful Resonator Guitar. Sounds really great.

that looks so badass

Beautiful guitar.

I am really impressed! watched whole way through and loved it

Wow! I really want to make one. I need some hardware for it (tuners, bridge...) and need to figure out how to mark the frets so i can play it. Anywhere i could find fret marker templates?

Estou emocionado em ver esse video. O carinho em fazer o instrumento. Isso e muito lindo.

love it... shes a beauty and sounds fantastic

Aloha Tom! I am on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Awesome build, woodworking skills and choice of the type of instrument you’ve made. I play guitar, ukulele, trumpet,etc. and dabble with piano and other instruments. I play by ear and self taught on most instruments. Steel/Slide Steel is my latest passion. Country music steel/ slide category is alive and well but the origin of slide steel here in Hawaii (argued by some that it was born on mainland USA)is dying out slowly. I don’t have physical working skills with woodworking but I have the knowledge from books, acquaintances and social media such as yourself on UA-cam. I am a tinkerer and have always had a mechanical aptitude….been that way since a very young age. That is what led me to join the Air Force to be an aircraft mechanic and technician. I know how to use tools correctly and have used many tools associated with woodworking as well as a good knowledge base of tools and equipment of those that I have not yet physically worked with. I not only want to be proficient at slide steel guitar but I want to make guitars….electrics, acoustics, ukuleles and slide steel, mainly for myself. I not only want to help preserve the cultural roots of the Hawaiian steel guitar but I want to do it with an instrument that I made myself. You have been a very strong source of inspiration on me since watching this video. Mahalo nui loa for sharing your time with me and the world. Aloha Braddah and God’s Blessings to You and Yours!

Just the finish, the pickups' wooden mounts... what a pity

Beautiful guitar. Too bad your cable wasn't plugged in at the end of the video so I could know it was what I heard.

Fab video , would love to make 1 but at present still trying to get around learning a bit more on guitar. Great tho this , step by step really well covered . Thank you ☘️😎

I stumbled into this channel because I'm thinking about building a lap steel. I love this channel so much.

Heck of a build. That looks like a massive jointer you have! Someday I'm gonna by a jointer. Someday... haha

I watched because I'm thinking about making a lap steel too. I love the belt sander jig! I'm gonna make something like it!

Sorry I don't like the video. There's no information on the type of wood. Or dimensions he uses.

Nice shop ! The only thing I don't like , in fact makes me crindge , is when you pass your hands over the cutting head of the jointer . First time was the 8/4 stuff , I wasn't too uncomfortable , but when you ran that squirley 4/4 spalted stuff , I prayed for you . Still gots all mine . Great video , might be anew project for me .

This steel lap Guitar looks great and sound really nice as well. I was wondering where you got the nut and what are the pickups you used?

Great job. I have never seen a build like that. Very interesting! And it sounded great too. I bet it really vibrate. Very solid. Is it heavy? You didn't show how you wired it. I would like to see that. Thanks for sharing!!!

Very nice work, it doesn't need a amp hook up tho right? I "old try to make one without?

OK. Nice work... but you buy the resonator syrtem. Come on man...

That was amazing to watch!

Dude.... you nailed it

Looks great sounds great

Beautiful guitar and sounds wonderful great build can see the hard work that you put into making it and it certainly was worth it.

Beautiful instrument and shop!

Great work Tom- 👏

Tom, lovely work. There aren't many build videos on UA-cam for resonator stringed instruments. I know, I've looked! I think you have inspired me to give this a try. So far my own instrument 'family' consists of an F5 mandolin and a tenor banjo: www.youtube.com/@coastwood. Cheers, keep on building, filming, and playing!

Great looking family! Really enjoying your videos.

Well I came over here after your reply to my comment on your build vid. The work you do is AMAZING. I really appreciate you sharing the info about the pickups. I have 2 lapsteel and 1 hollow body Tele acoustic/electric projects underway ... but have been sitting for some time now due to trouble of the Swan Neck Deformity kind with the fingers on my picking hand. I was hoping to build my own copies of both the Dusenberg AND the Bigsby benders for my lap steels. I can't play my guitars or even use the tools in my shop safely right now. Thank you for sharing your builds!

très belle réalisation mais c'est une histoire sans parole et sans dimensions pour essayer de fabriquer un lapsteel

I am curious about you Tele pickups, and have a couple questions. Hows does it sound using just the neck pickup? Do you get much use out of it? Ditto for the two pickups combined? Do you get that Tele chine or twang out of the bridge p/u? Can you get a "Hawaiian tone" out of it? Have you considered palm benders? What an amazing build.

1. You got more ways a making sawdust in your basement than nearly anybody else I know. 2. You sure do build a pretty Lap Steel!!!!!!!!!!

Could you tell me where you got the fretboard?

Proper piece of woodwork that but you do have all the gear to make a good job of it but well done looks amazing where do get the fret board from????.

I was taken as well by your tools. (never should have sold my shop). I haven't seen anyone use a folding rule or a coping saw in 40-50 years! Then you have a belt sander mounted on side instead of a horizontal belt? Must have spent too much on your Festools? Just teasing. Beautiful workmanship, I was more caught up in the process than what you were making. Nice to see people still carrying on good skills. Oh, and I liked the guitar.

Do you share your pattern dimensions and thicknesses?

I love to hear a steel guitar, but the only thing I don't like about steel guitars, or slide guitars in general, is that I have perfect pitch. If a player isn't exactly on pitch, i hear it. For example, the slide guitar playing "Honktonk Women" had a string out and it was driving me nuts. Your playing at the end of the video, however, was spot-on.

WOW! Absolutely beautiful! I love the color, fretboard and the bindings. It must be fantastic to have those tools available to make this quality! I just made my first all hand built (no power tools except a hand drill) lap steel here: ua-cam.com/video/_4wT47G_hi0/v-deo.html

Beautiful! If I may ask, where did you get your fretboard?

Nice build, and nice playing at the end

Tom thank you so much for sharing your process. You obviously love working with wood and building things with your hands, as much as you enjoy making music. I also love watching the entire build of your lap steel. Your video editing skills are certainly above average as well.

Tom, this dobro wasnt your first rodeo......lol. you are quite a craftsman Tom, great woodworking mahcinery that you have, great hand working skills, and the sound of your dobro is abosolutely fantastic.....!!

That is truly beautiful! Congratulations! I especially like the coloring. Were you using wipe-on poly as a clear coat and then a spray poly to finish? And which dyes did you use? I am currently building one myself and your video is a great inspiration. Keep it up!

This is great! Thanks for the inspiration

This looks absolutely fantastic! Would you ever take a commission to build one?

Well done, obvioosly a lot of time and focused effort s required. Troy B. Is he best reso instructor on the web, I have checked out numerous coaches over the years.
