Drak Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 *** ? I'm totally lost on that one. Have I just been lambasted and charbroiled without even knowing it?

bassman Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Less than 40 hours- I might finish my current bass in about 30- I am getting faster and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 35 hours of classroom work to build the guitar should be enough, as the consensus on this forum goes. However, bear in mind that you'll be doing a lot of homework yourself. I remember my shop teacher staying behind for hours helping students finish projects or even just tidying things up a bit. There's always going to be one body or neck that comes out screwed up that you'll have to pull an all-nighter on rebuilding yourself so the student can stay caught up. Even if you've allotted 35 hours in perfect little time slots, teaching anything is never just a day job. You'll probably wind up spending another 35 hours in your own shop fixing little mistakes and rebuilding key parts. Just be prepared to make your students and THEIR guitars a priority if you're willing to take on the responsibility of a teacher and mentor.

Southpa Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 It would be in the students' best interest to have something to study when not putting in shop time. Got a manual?? And it certainly wouldn't hurt to let them know about all our fabulous online resources if they aren't aware of them. I usually won't start a project until I have everything right in my head and on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
