Dog House Diddley
Something different and easy to build. Two string diddley bo, but with fret position markers and a shaped tin to act as a more accurate bridge position. Very effective, its actually an in-between instrument, more complex than a simple diddly bo and less so than a lap steel.
Using a slide and finger pick it produces a fair volume but placed on a table or large wooden surface, the volume and depth are increased to another level altogether!
The tin is fabricated from brass sheet or, well erm......Tin! A little metal work skill and the ability to use a soldering iron or mini blow torch are required. Two different electric versions are shown on the plan, that's three types altogether on one plan.
