  • By the way, from one teacher to another, I think you deserve teacher of the year :)

  • That is an awesome project!!!

  • Excellent project! And I'm sure your students appreciate your dedication.

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

  • Excellent!  Thanks and good on you.

  • 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  ; ) 

  • Wow, nice ones for sure.  Tell us the story.

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