Making - Cigar box guitar build (first time)

I made this Cigar box guitar for my brothers birthday last year, he's a musician. It's an old cigar box with old Swedish price tags and everything. The neck is made of oak and the fret board I think is teak. I use the scale from a Fender guitar neck I had laying around to trace the fret distances.

There a lot going on in this video so please ask away in the comments if somethings unclear. The music in the video is recorded with this guitar by my brother, check out his music on Spotify link below.

I hope you like the video.

Ok!
So there’s a lot going on in this video. Many different steps. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask away!

(I missed the part where I cut the fret slots. I just traced it from an old guitar neck and cut them with a handsaw and a square.)

Pretty nice! Great vintage box! The only time I went "yikes!" Was the gluing down of the bridge, no finessing of the intonation after that!

nice build ! nice vid ! great background music !!! as to a floating bridge; i have one on my latest build & when i noticed tuning troubles, ect. i found somehow the bridge has moved the sadfle from its 25" scale position to a 25.25" position. i layed it out, being as exact as possible & it was put in place with some 3M two sided tape, with blu masking tape surrounding the area with layout markings... i guess it will just be an on going headache. now im into a new build & im digging deep into my engineering creativity to make an adjustable bridge - up/down and foward/back. wish me luck.... ohh and i might be wrong, but on a tuning machine, the worm drive should be on the away side of the anchor post. as the worm has slack & can transfer that to the post causing flat tuning. im not sure, you could check & see.

How does it sounds ?
It's super cool. I love it and the screw that helps to pull the string down gives it a maker style.
Good job !
