I  just  had  some  minor   cleaning  up  of the  sharp  edges  with  a  small  grind  stone  , works  a  treat  and  much  cheaper  than  10 pounds  for  a  Dunlop  one

Re: make your own slide

I believe Ray Wiley Hubbard wrote a song about this kind of thing....

A blonde Telecaster, 1955
Dynacomp pedal, beer bottle for a slide
A black face Twin, with the JBL's
Some things under heaven are just cooler 'n hell

Great song, too.  smile

Someday we'll win this thing...

Nice job Graham!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: make your own slide

When I was on the USS Inchon (MCS12) (the last version/incarnation of the old girl)  I would get bored and take stainless and aluminum and cut various diameter ones, debur  and then polish them up.  some were pretty sharp looking.  No one wanted to give up the copper or brass tubing, thats what I really wanted.

Great job on the glass.  You have any friends with a good torch that could melt that down enough to really smooth it out?
