Oh my God Shane....you know there is gonna be a TON of people building these two stringer 'Portland Cowboy' Guitars now ... I have two 'old' cans lined up already!! Love the SOUND and LOOK of the original ... that is a SERIOUS piece of Americana music!!! Probably sounds even sweeter NOW than when it was first built! THANKS for sharing this and letting us all hear how she sounds...Stay Primal...!!!
I have one but I used a gascan because I have never seen an olive oil can before
What an amazing find and inspiring book. Cheers Shane.
Only one word: amazing!
Beautiful
Very cool Shane. I strummed this 2 stringer at your house and now I've got an old olive oil can so I can attempt one based on the fantastic instructions in your book. Mine might be a 3 stringer just for the heck of it.
I started out with this book and a cigar box and two years later I am getting ready to go to college to learn how to build guitars and get a business
Just got the book & its awesome. Nice one man.
Nice fast easy functional frets!
I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I just scored on the way to work a 1 gallon metal can that held graffiti remover in it. I can't wait to get home and turn it into a "Portland Cowboy."
Great video, thanks, what a treat x
wow, that Portland cowboy guitar has maximum mojo!!!
They sound identical,Shane!
So cool!👍😎🎸🎶
Awesome.
I was planning to make a cookie tin guitar, seeing this just encuraged me to expand that to making more, I as far as I know, have 3 cookie tins to make guitars from (need strings and tuning screws, but that's easy enough to get) so now I wonder, what would you reccomend for me to start with? they're your average round cookie tin, out an inch or so wider than a dinner plate.
I wonder how the original owner created the tuners, are they eye screws or eye bolts?
That was my primary interest; seeing how the tuning mechanisms on the original worked. I'm disappointed that he saw fit to modernize that aspect of it.
Far freaking out
Oh yeah, if anyone has the slightest interest whatsoever in homemade instruments you MUST get this book!!!
I really wanted to see more of the original tuning mechanism.
Seems like everyone who's building these primitive instruments is cheating, by "modernizing" the tuning process. Besides, poor folk can't justify buying those things; poor folk have to scavenge everything. That would include strings, too, come to think of it.
