Pretty nice right?

Whats even more insane is that this guy built it with ONLY hand tools.

I don't mean just a little, I mean didn't use one bit of electricity. Only chisels, handsaws, and sandpaper.

Just so cool to see something like this, does it get anyone else all tingly?

(Don't worry, I didnt really read anything either, I just looked at the pictures haha)

Har har - but you can do it.  The old irons you heat up in a fire.  I've also had results with wrapping a joint in solder and using a match.

 
Oh and that's a really nice guitar and a heck of an achievement!  :headbang:
 
Should I feel bad that I didn't even have the patience to read through 70+ pages of thread, never mind building a guitar by hand?

Man, that's dedicated!  Did you need to build a guitar to escape or something?

There are many ways to light a joint I guess?  :icon_biggrin: :icon_jokercolor:
