Sander,
When I was a boy I had three different paper routes at different times, of course. It was a rough way to make some spending money but WAY better than not having ant money to spend. Once you lerarn how and where to collect your parts for these things, you can make one up fairly cheaply. Two of the biggest parts, the box and the neck, you can probably scrounge up. Boxes can be had at cigar stores, in malls, and thrift stores. Many pallets over here are made of Oak lumber. If you can find a jobsite where they are building a building, the heavier equiptment like the central airconditioners and furnaces will ne either crated or palletized, Usually with Oak lumber. Second hand stores are good places to look for Oak or Maple pieces of ratty furnature that can be cut up into pieces for necks. Good luck with your parts list ! Bob H.
