Ok this is going to be a bit more :::ahem::: rudimentary than what the proper luthiers here offer up, but people often ask me about the stompbox I use on stage, so I made a little video of me knocking one together:

Good stuff - I once made a much less successful one with a piece of laminate flooring and a stick-on bug - yours seems a better prospect, Pete! Keith

Is that French polish? Or pre-catalysed lacquer?

Which wood would you use for the top for the best bass response? š
Would you get an improved range of overtones if you soon moonspruce?

In all seriousness I was surprised at how acoustically resonant the one i built in the video is compared to the last couple I've made. It must have been a particularly good piece of pallet!

A banjo might make a good stomp box
