Pictolic"Our hands are not for boredom!" Probably Blake Burles is one of those people who adopted this expression. After seeing numerous crafts made of colored pencils on the web, he decided to do something similar, but at the same time much more weighty. After a little reflection, he took up the manufacture of an electric guitar. Evaluate the result for yourself!
The guy created his unusual musical instrument for about a month, while working every day for 2-4 hours. As for the cost part, it took him $ 500 (about 33 thousand rubles) to do everything about everything. This amount also included equipment and some consumables that he did not have.
The guy also had a saw that was not expensive, he needed it for sawing pencils into two parts.
It was sawing, as he admits, that was the most tedious part of the project.
Laying the halves.
And this is Berls already filling pencils with epoxy resin.
Removing about 1/8 inch (approx. 3.2mm) and creating a pencil plate with a flat surface.
Outline of the template.
Gluing the template with superglue and adhesive tape.
This is how the side faces of the future electric guitar were processed.
Milling of cavities.
Grinding.
Opening with varnish.
Polishing.
Installation of tremolo.
The finishing touch.
And this is the end result in all its glory - an electric guitar made of colored pencils.
