My first hand made cajon

Hola flamencos, This is my first hand made Cajon, I built it in about one year ago, ya i know, I am late to post it, At that time i decide to build a cajon, i search the net and i found some german cajon plan, i only take the dimensions and show them to Oud luthier, we worked together until we built the first cajon in Bahrain, we had some problems with the snare strings, thier position, we adjusted them until we get the real cajon sound, any way here are some photos,

hayy flamencos, thanks all for you nice comments, The cajon sounds really great and different, it has a very deep bass due to the thickness of the wood that have been used to build it, about 12 mm thickness as well as the size of the Cajon, 44 cm height, 30 cm length and 31.5 width, and its plywood cause i couldn’t manage to find a solid wood here wide enough to built this cajon, i used the best quality of plywood which the peach plywood, we had a problem with the snare strings position, according to the plan the strings should be at the top left and right corner only, well we try this type of insulation and it didn’t work , there was no snare or sustain at all. so i change the position of the strings to shape f W from top to bottom and stick the string to the front plate with some stick tabs and it works,
