I can't seem to find an adult to help me cut an oval in the box.  :(
Why should we buy postage stamps? We can make our own.

I might use an old shoe box and sell it on ebay as having M@J@ and that Kurt Cobain entrusted me with his trusty rubber band for this project....... Okay so I wasn't exactly 'sober' when this dream came to me.

We made these in primary school, so much fun! Although the bands have a tendency to snap and whip you on any bare skin  :(

It was the two handed tapping solo that did it for me. My locking nut made of PVA glue and an orange pencil failed on me.

Technically yes, but you wouldn't be able to tune or fret. So it seems like a waist of time. Although,as I said  just now, it is possible...... to an extent

I made on e of these in school as well, you can imagine my dissapointment when the rubber band broke!
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.
