Popsicle Sticks

1915 Model T and a pain in the arse building this one. One of those that nothing went right..

I have in the past, but it turned into fulltime and occupying all of my time. It does now but no pressure to finish anything and I work on them when I want. Years ago I used to shoot competition archery and was a staff shooter for York Archery when they were in business. It got to the point I was shooting 4 to 5 hours a day 7 days a week and had to shoot. I really got burnt out with it. I don't want that to happen again with my sticks so I do it for fun and if anybody wants something then I go from there, usually just friends. All for fun....

I've gone through the same burn out phase with cars and computers after doing it for a living. Now I just work on my cars , but out of necessity more than hobby

So, when do we get to see a full-size, fully-functional guitar made from popsicle sticks?

C’mon...chop, chop...time’s a wastin’!

Sure tempting as all get out. I need several clamps a lot bigger than what I have...

Is there a working mechanism in that clock? Either way, it a amazing piece, great job. Cheers

 

[Truss_rod]

Thank you ivan, no there isn't. This is my first and there are a ton of bugs I need to work out and then I am going to build one with working mechanism. There are kits that I can purchase.

That's really nice.

It's still not a guitar...

But, it is really nice!

 

[Truss_rod]

A guitar is definitely in the planning stage smitty. I am actually making a tools needed list as we speak....

I am so happy you are sharing this impressive and very pleasing art. Do you ever sell them, or display them at shows/conventions.
