Project outline

Following on from the success of the skateboard banjo, I'd like to build, and then learn to play, a fiddle made from skate decks. This idea has been inspired largely from this movie, http://handmade.hackaday.com/we-should-build-mandolins-and-violas/ but more recently motivated by a more attainable Instructable by Nick Kirkby (http://www.instructables.com/id/Improvised-Folk-Fiddle/) who has made a number of lovely musical instruments (http://totallyharmless.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/instruments).

I intend to make as many fiddle parts as reasonably possible from skateboard hardware and paraphernalia. Let's see how that goes!
