'Other stuff' that I've been building
As well as building vehicles and things of that nature I occasionally get the urge to build 'other things'. These are just a fews of them I have done recently.
There are any as such, I just do some research ( on the net, books, magazines etc) and then go down the shed and give it a go ~ I guess I have plans in my head?
'retro' looking blues harp mic ~ crystal element
If only I was any good at playing blues harp, but I can dream
I have built another 'prototype' harp mic, again small crystal element.
Got a couple of 'vintage' shure CM 99E556 elements and had an idea for a 'palm' mic ~ watch this space.
snow bike built for my mate Steve Turner ~ allows a normal mountain bike to be made into a snow bike for winter fun. Can be put back to a normal bike afterwards.
I wanted to have a go at 'speedball' the boxing exercise. Haven't got room on a wall to mount the platform so I came up ith a door mounting system. Works well!
Had a go at building a few three string 'cigar box' guitars, one of them is actually a biscuit tin (a Canjo?) the cigar boxs both have piezo pickups, one of them is fretless. I made a simple bottle neck slide. All tuned to open G ( Gdg).
