Check the video, he really made it out of pencils.

Excellent!  Those screws will pull out eventually though!  Have you seen the ones made out of old skateboards?  Just as colourful but probably harder wearing.

Yeah, it did occur to me that the coloured pencil centre bits wouldn't be very hard.

The main thing it did was make me wonder what else you could make a body out of, skateboards sounds cool.

Making a guitar out of pencils?A bit like building a model of St Paul's Cathedral out of used matchsticks. How empty does one's life have to be?

Someone will try Surfboards next. Then clothes pegs

I also remember seeing a studio tour with Dave Grohl where he had a Les Paul made from NASCAR parts. Can’t find the video though.

Approximately 3/7 as empty as the person who finds time to complain about it?

Another skateboard build...

Prefer skateboards to pencils or clothes pegs
