Built a Diddley Bow this evening using a dog food can for a resonator, a 30" poplar stick, a guitar tuner, and a light gauge acoustic guitar E string. Played with a glass slide.

How does it play? Got a vid?

It plays nicely. I'll see if I can get a video or sound sample up.

How did you fasten the string on the can?

The string has a brass barrel-shaped ball end. So, I just drilled a small (1/16th") hole in the base of the can.
