I know what you mean by not throwing anything away. I live in Iceland and there was a guy that lived here who never threw anything away. I mean NEVER. He kept everything and sorted and filed it all. He had a garage full of used nails all neatly categorized. 30+ kettles, thousands of light switches, radios not to mention an impressive tool collection etc... When he died the community were so impressed that they made a museum out of it. His name was Smámunasafns Sverris Hermannsson. To me this sounds like heaven but if the police were to look a bit closer at his death I bet they would find that it was his wife that killed him. I uploaded some photos, check it out.

Hi Dave. Thanks for the comment. I am posting some more photo's of the Lille Million. Glad you like it however I am not a lefty. Made the video on an old mac computer and for some reason it made a mirror image. Still, no matter. You just change the strings around. As far as the build goes, this is about build no.10 for me, so if this is your first build I think your going to have to make some mistakes first but its all fun. I will give you some stats if you like? I used a 60cm scale length. The headstock I cut at a 15 degree angle, the neck width is 4cm and the neck thickness is about 3cm with a fret board added. All boring stuff. I think the hardest thing is adding the strings and setting it up. With my first guitars I had a lot of buzzing from the strings which was due to the string tension at the head or the base being wrong and also the thickness of the strings (try different strings). If in doubt ask anyone here, they love giving advice. I was just thinking what would I do differently if I started on my first build again and I would say, nothing. The fun is in trying to figure out how to make a good looking and sounding guitar. Sometimes its a pain but keep at it and it will all work out. Keep me posted on your build and feel free to ask question although I just tend to make up the answer. 

Good luck.
