Slide Guitar Project

About a year-and-a-half ago I started to daydream about dream jobs. The frustrating lethargy that affects many Vancouver transplants, in my case, related to a feeling that there will never be space or capital to create. So I bought a router at the Sally Anne; a drill press from Canadian Tire; a palm sander from a pawn shop and wood from Windsor Plywood.


I started making my own slide guitars. The one above is a prototype made from a fir two-by-four.

Now, they are still unfinished, and I have moved, losing the drill press along the way. But now that I am back here I feel like the guitars could use a little energy.

Maybe you'll drop in one day to find me sanding or finishing these mahogany beauties.
