Made one from an old smoothing file and a QLD maple offcut. Very happy with its performance. Inspired by Stewmac

I'll follow this thread with real interest, I am building a weissenborn at the moment and was wondering what to do with the mold, etc. Thought of building a weissenborn body with a spider bridge resonator. Please post lots of photos.
Cheers,
Geoff

Saw him play on his last visit to Canberra, I was blown away by his love for slide guitars and his mastery of them. Decided to name my new weissenborn "Bob".

A lap steel is on my list of things to build now I have retired, very interested in your build.

Hi Folks, newbie here. The name's Geoff and I'm from Canberra. I will be retiring in a few weeks and would like to build a few more guitars as retirement projects. With John Copley' able assistance I built a blackwood squareneck resonator guitar a few years ago and I have been waiting for retirement...
