My son wanted to learn the steps to build a cigar box guitar, so I had him do the steps while building his own: 3-string fretted with a maple neck and walnut fretboard mounted to a "Star Wars" lunch box. If he never builds another, at least we had a great day bonding over building!

I certainly don't WANT him to stop. I was just amazed he was willing to take a few hours off from video gaming in order to do it! It's really the first time he's shown an interest in building with me, though he has built a few christmas presents with his grandfather. I know I only intended to build one myself, and built #56 this weekend... hopefully he will remain interested enough to come join me again. Though I suspect he's going to wait until it's a little warmer out in the shop!
Way cool, Mark! And LOL, Jerry! Hope he enjoys this for years to come - would make a great family heirloom way down the road! Sign and date that beaut!
"never build another", has that ever been done? Never thought I'd ah built so many...great pic and story.,.,good luck on the "build stop" ( I hope he happily builds plenty )
