    Good on spurring kids' interest in Music. Most aren't able to afford good Arts programs these days.

    I'll be teaching 6 homeschooled 6th graders how to build CBGs in February.

    I've got boxes and 1x2s. Purchased tuning heads and strings, etc.

    Did you let the kids handle tools, saws etc.?

    I'm considering pre-cutting the necks, drilling holes for the heads and letting them decorate and glue the boxes.

    Any suggestions?
