Awesome work, Daniel!  Thanks for your hard work; I'm sure the children remember these skills!

So... I'm an handwork teacher in Switzerland, working with 11-15 years old children... Selfmade luthier too, and my experience allow me to make guitars with my oldest students. It needs one whole year of job ( two hours a week) to create their model

- discussing esthetic and ergonomy

- drawing the body and the head

- making the neck, slotting the fretboard, fretting...

- sawing the body, drilling and so...

- painting the body and the head

- installing the electronic from A to Z...

Tey do all that alone (directed of course) and finally I do a complete fretdress and the setup (to complicated for them) ; ) It's a big job and I'm soon happy to have finished it !

It's every time a great Aventure for everyone ! The teens are proud and they can !!!

PS: excuse my english I'm a french speaker  ; )

Nice! Guitars.... Lots of them :) Did the kids assemble and finish these themselves?
