Better buy completely from hardware store or

I ordered the myCajon in order to build with my 11 year old son together. The idea was not bad, but now I think we would have had it easier with a cut from the hardware store. The list of the attached parts is significantly shorter than that of the parts and tools, which is additionally required for the assembly. It also aids rarely contained in the 08/15 tool case are like a bent razor saw (ie, a saw with laterally angled handle) to cut the impact plate and the soundboard after gluing match (why do not accompany fits no one), 3 Ratchet Straps, alternatively four 60cm Leimzwingen, several glue clamps, the box corresponding to large boards for Pressverleimen, bench supports, etc. If you have not, it does not work, or you only breaks a law from. Not even a small tube of glue is the kit.

Luckily I had everything ready, so that we could start despite weekend. The pure construction period (without solidification of the glue) so I guess at about 2-3 hours, together looking incl. Materials, sawing the front and back panel, sawing the bass opening (even you have to cut through deciduous or appropriate jigsaw itself), etc. Converts If the drying time of the glue, etc. so, we have well-spent one day with them. This does not include the coating of surfaces is (be careful that you do not firmly painted the striking plate, which must remain at the top of loosely), we have done the following weekend. My rating: Much can not do it yourself, if you do not want to jeopardize the end result tots here. Grinding, angle stop, hole sawing, carefully drill, create tension belts, going such work. Dad must definitely keep an eye on the quality control and possibly rework something;)

What then stands in front of a is a reasonably sounding Cajon, but from "bouncigen" Sound forth can not keep up with a crate of> 100EUR League. For this result is a passable "children and youth" instrument that is with some pride from "we ourselves have built" can advertise. How robust is it, can not even say for sure if we have reasonable sized, it should hold. There are blueprints on the Net, which seem to me at least as promising and of the construction even more stable. I will also soon to try, because as sounding Notsitzmöbel a device would give me so already also like. You notice: At least the building fever grabbed me ...
