Yeah, broken glass and guitar fingers don't go together that well! DB have all the machines to make a jewel - $20 plus delivery for a beautiful Redhouse! (I must get another clear glass 'Original" - it had a great gritty feel, until a friend 'borrowed' it.) BluesKing777. |

Here are some of my slides.
Top right are two deepwell sockets that I got at the local hardware store. beside them is a portable ash tray that's a little lighter. In the middle are a lap steel slide, a medicine bottle, My oldest slide that I made from a wine bottle neck when I was in high school in the sixties, following the directions in a Sing Out! magazine. Next is a brass slide that was turned by a friend with access to a lathe. In the bottom row are two Stevens steels. My newest slide was made by a potter for her husband, but he gave it to me. My friend Reg measured my finger with calipers and turned a brass slide for me circa 1980. Here I am about 40 years ago trying it out on an old S.S. Stewart.

I've only have two slides, a tapered brass one, and a blue glass one. I like Silly's idea of having a collection of them and keeping them in a bin, so you can find them when needed.
