Want to take a stick, some wire, a can and some wax and make a $10 electric guitar? O’Reilly has a free webcast tomorrow, February 11, 2011 @ 10 AM PT, presented by David Erik Nelson that will take you from a pile of scrap wood and hardware to a working one-string electric guitar, all for well under $10. Along the way he’ll talk about magnetic pickups, induction, musical scales, fabrication improvisation, and the history of blues.
The $10 Electric Guitar is Project 13 from Nelson’s book, “Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred: Seriously Geeky Stuff to Make with Your Kids.”
