To make a cigar box ukulele (or guitar), it looks like I would need to find

- a box
- a stick
- something for a bridge
- something for a nut (top of stick where strings go)
- tuning somethings
- strings

Did I miss anything?

absolutely counts.

One of my parents friends when I was a kid used to play the wash bucket broom stick string thing (as I understood it when I was quite young).  She would play it around different music festivals.  

The books say if the lamb is unresponsive to wuzzing and vigorous rubbing, a warming box will bring it back to life.  

My expierence says differently, so I wondered if I could improve my set up.

A cooler sounds useful.  I've been using old tshirt and a seedling mat as it's not supposed to get much above 25C.

Apple pie for all.  I think i got them all.

These are perfect!  Thak you so much for coming to my rescue.  

Bit of an odd one, i know.  But google seems crap at this as do photo sites like unsplash.

I ask for photos of apple trees, apple tree trunks, apple tree bark, and more than half of the results are cherry or things I know aren't apples.  Or ai creativity with apple leaves on a Douglas fir.  

What's left could be apples, maybe, but I need definitely apple.  I need someone I can trust.  So I come here.

I haven't time to wrestle with search engines or go get my own photos due to lambing craziness (twins or triplets this year).   But I need the reference for early tomorrow morning painting class.

So.... bit of an odd question for those of you with apple trees (of any age, crab apple will do too).  Could you take a photo for me?  And a close up of the trunk?  Share it here?  I'm looking for a collection of different lighting conditions so the more who can help the better.

For those of you who use a warming box or similar, what's your set up like?  When do you find it mosr useful (symptoms and situations)  and when is it not worth a try?

Looking at improving my set up as I'm beginning to suspect the books I learned from are more utter neglect style of lambing than I want.  Curious whatother people use.

I was going to call it a timbit, but not sure who would get the reference.

If I ever do make something like this, the hole would make a good template for the sound hole in the guitar.  It amuses me as this little plastic hole was one of my favourite toys as a kid.  It was such an important part of music in the house.
