It's at: http://caseyconnor.org/cajon Good to see yours here as well. The web certainly could use more on the subject. :-) Ok, -c Hi - I just finished and published a web page about building a cajon as well. It’s at:

One tip: most of the Spanish cajons use a single low E, A or D guitar-string stretched across the inside of the drumming surface for the snare. It is screwed into the structure at the top left (tied with a knot around one of the screws which holds the surface on), passes around the center screw on the bottom and heads up again to the upper right, where it is either simply tensed around a wood-screw which holds it close to the surface or, if more expensive, with a machine-screw which somehow keeps the tension. Often, the guitar-string is rather slack and held to the back of the drumming surface with a strip of duct-tape. You can do this with two strings in order to get more of a snare-effect, and the one I will build now will allow a disengagement of the strings.

I'll in some more pictures for you. Eventually I'll put some video together so that you can hear and see it being played. Thanks for the comment. I’ll in some more pictures for you.

I've been meaning to building one of these (since buying is so dull ;p). I was wondering if you could supply larger images tho, and more maybe. I've never ever seen one of these in real life, and I am dependant on the internet to see how they work. sofar, most pages are in some alien language I do not comprehend, so this one is very nice for me. More and bigger pictures would really bring out how it works, and why, making the build that much easier. :) Keep it up :) Nice stuff mate.
