    yer Pest your woodwork teacher sounds like a real @rsehole !
    I remember my wood work teacher was pretty harsh too ! He threw pieces of wood at you if you were'nt paying attention !

    Did you go to school in Canberra Wokka?

    Mine did that too (I used to have a whole bunch of sneaky lathe projects on the go which I worked on when he left the room, so I possibly deserved it when he came back to find me on the lathe )

    Well, my woodwork teacher is actually really nice, he just doesn't want me in the woodwork room if it isn't a class, he might change his mind one day...
    I will ask him again when I start making nuts, I don't want to have a vise on the pool table!!!

    @ Pest -> yer Pest keep hassling your teacher till he gives up. Surely he'd let you use a drill press would take 5 mins to drill a tuner holes on the headstock if it was marked out
    @ Analyst -> no I went to school in Perth, always been a WA boy, maybe my teacher moved to Canberra, his name was Ernie Gravnel but I'd say its common for woodwork teachers to throw wood at students !

    You're probably right Wokka. Classroom teachers threw chalk (or the duster), Woodwork teachers threw wood...whatever potential projectile is handy

    Hmmmmm... a Strat with a 4/2 headstock...
    Funny you should mention that. After reading the Community Kit thread I whipped these up.

    The top one is done using the current headstock.

    The shaded holes on the lower (4/2) are where the holes would be on the current PB headstock - however this would not be a problem on a true blank.

    Looks good Rhay... Personally 6/0 for me - 4/2 looks a little underdone for me when you compare it with the body...
