How To Build a Diddley Bow with Minimal Tools

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I've posted several instrument building tutorials in the past. I've occasionally gotten the question of whether it can be done with basic tools. That's what today's video covers. I build a cigar box diddley bow with just a few tools (saw, file, drill, utility knife, etc) and a couple of readily available parts.
