This is a killer axe. I’d love to attempt a build like this. The only problem is that I have no skills. I guess I have to try a build in order to gain the skills. Watch the videos where Tom makes it looks incredibly easy.

This rocks too:
In fact, dude has a TON of cool guitars made, like a chess board one, a cricket bat one, a Millennium Falcon one, and more …
That cigar-box doubleneck is badass.
Mr. Bingham appears to make these for fun & the sake of art. The only official online presence is his YouTube channel: MrSambollet
