There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
interesting article DB, how cool would it be to build an acoustic guitar in year 11/12.
Looks like the students learnt alot and hopefully some will continue building

OMG, are you alright DB?
Have you seen a doctor?
What is the prognosis?
On a more serious note...
We got to build a pencil box and a bloody tool box, all out of plywood.
Kids today are so bloody spoilt.
Most I ever built @ school was a wooden tank, similar to this one..

haha yeah I remember woodwork classes well. Think I made some sort of box. I have vivid memories of the teacher if you were out of line or weren't concentrating he threw a block of wood at you. That got everyone's attention pretty quick !
@ Andrew what's your avatar pic now ? Arnie ?

I guess they talked it up to make the school look special....
However, I am always happy to see youngsters learn how to use hand tools.
All to often I come across folk who wouldnt have a clue as to which end of a hammer to hold, let alone how to use a plane or cabinet scaper!
Sadly, we have become so dependent on CNC and other automated machines to build stuff...
