So cool! What are the dimensions? It looks very intricate, great work!

By RYOBI Nation, on October 1, 2018
- Thank you very much. It is about 6 inches long so that kind of gives you a idea of scale.

Great work!

By RYOBI Nation, on October 4, 2018

Thank you. I've always thought that a bird house should be something that would be your first build with your father or grandfather. This is my first I have ever built and was enjoyable.

By RYOBI Nation, on October 24, 2018

Yes this is my first and hopefully not my last but certainly room for improvements...

Those are very fine details! Did you use a scroll saw on this project?

By RYOBI Nation, on October 29, 2018

Yes I did, I decided to take a break from the sticks and play with my scroll saw for awhile...

I need one of these in the worst way! Good Job!

By ForgottenCoastDesignAndWoodworks, on November 13, 2018
- Thank you. It really is a neat deal and so simple to build. Cost was absolute zero...
  
  By Siclestix, on November 13, 2018
- Can't beat that price! I may just have to check my scrap pile.
  
  By ForgottenCoastDesignAndWoodworks, on November 13, 2018

Great solution for clamp storage! Did you repurpose parts of something else or build this from scratch? Thanks for sharing!

By RYOBI Nation, on November 14, 2018

The scrap wood is from a set of old TV Trays I took apart a while back and decided to take advantage of both worlds. I lowered the scrap wood pile and the clamps aren't just sitting on the floor in the way. Worked out perfectly...

By RYOBI Nation, on November 29, 2018

Thank you.....

By Siclestix, on November 29, 2018

I love this one too, do you build from a kit or make your own designs?

By B_Holton, on November 30, 2018
- Totally from scratch, however I study each one a bit on the web but pretty much each piece is trial and error and trust me, more error than trial.
  
  By Siclestix, on November 30, 2018 (edited)

Amazing and beautiful!

Looks incredible! We can see how this project took a lot of skill and detail work. What part of the process did you find the most challenging?

By RYOBI Nation, on November 29, 2018

The wheels are pretty much the most challenging as you can see there are several mistakes but I tried turning them on my lathe but that failed miserably. I have a idea to make them come out better..

By Siclestix, on November 29, 2018

That's so amazing, well done

By B_Holton, on November 30, 2018

this is fantastic! I love it. How's the tone? sustain?

By cvfraser, on December 6, 2018

Not sure on the tone as of yet but the sustain is pretty awesome. I still have to order some parts. She was a tough but fun build regardless. Thank you.

By Siclestix, on December 6, 2018 (edited)

WOW! This is incredible! What part of this process did you find the most difficult?

By RYOBI Nation, on December 7, 2018
- If this double post's I apologize. Gluing is the most difficult because I can only glue up two sets of 50 each day. 24 hour glue set at least. There are 36 sets in the guitar body. Anything more than 50 sticks I cant run though my planer/jointer.

This one looks very advanced. What was the most difficult part of this build? The details are incredible. Great job!

By RYOBI Nation, on December 10, 2018

Thank you. The most difficult is probably the exhaust. It never comes out like I want it to. This was one of those projects that I only worked on when I didn't have anything else to build so it was sitting around waiting to be finished for a couple of months.

By Siclestix, on December 10, 2018

That is so fun! How did you create the checked pattern on top?

By RYOBI Nation, on December 26, 2018

I actually learned how to do this when I was in Shop in high school. It is very simple to do but can be difficult to line up the strips of wood. I cut strips about 10 inches long and glued them in a dark light pattern and then cut them in strips again in the opposite direction then shifted them one block every other strip. It saves trying to glue each and every block together in which I believe would be a nightmare....

I love when you upload new projects. They always blow my mind. This is awesome!

By Klomp16729, on January 12, 2019
- Thank you Klomp. I have built several parts guitars and only two popsicle stick guitars and as of right now I have 17. This newest popsicle stick guitar is by far the best sounding and playing guitar I own. I love it.
  
  By Siclestix, on January 12, 2019 (edited)

Awesome job. I can't even imagine the glue time. This is amazing.

By Robzbrz1992, on January 14, 2019
- Thank you Rob. It definitely is a long drawn out process because there is so many sets I have to glue up.
  
  By Siclestix, on January 14, 2019

  By Siclestix, on January 15, 2019

Just when we think we have seen it all, @Siclestix, you post a 2,400 stick guitar! We couldn't have imagined. Thank you so much for sharing your fun and super creative projects with us. You're top notch!

By RYOBI Nation, on January 16, 2019

  By Siclestix, on January 16, 2019

I have been scrolling through projects for the last couple of days. All of your guitars are amazingly beautiful!
And every time I eat a popsicle, I will think about your guitars!

By Anymouse, on June 27, 2019

This is some AWESOME workmanship.

By JohnCassell, on January 17, 2019

These guitars keep blowing me away. They come out so good. I bet they sound as good as they look.

By Robzbrz1992, on February 6, 2019
- Thank you Rob. I have 16 guitars in several different styles and believe it or not the popsicle stick guitar's are my favorite guitars. They sound fantastic and the sustain "the length the note rings out" is by are the best. I am more than happy with them and each one I build seems the quality gets better.

  By Siclestix, on March 23, 2019

That is a wonderful peace you made. I do have a question though. Is there a link or plans that I can purchase to make a guitar like that? My son just deployed to Afghanistan and he's a guitar player. I would love to have something like that waiting for him when he gets back. Thanks in advance.
