lol that might be a step to far. Effort would infer doing it right, which he didn't. he half assed it, he knows he half assed it and he has an unplayable monstrosity because he half assed it.
He put effort into building this like I put effort into the paintjob on Mustang Kali. Just enough that it would look decent in internet pictures.

There's no determined effort here. He quickly set about making a shit guitar.

Steady on you pair. While yes, he did carry out the steps to make a guitar, it is, pretty much, a piece of shit. Let's not go berserk and act like he's Princess Di or something.

This.

I'll commend him on his follow through, he said he'd do it and he did it. But there was no effort here.

I am going to ride fifteen miles on a Vespa in a few minutes. Please lavish me with praise when I carry out this task.

Fucking hell, he's said he's going to do it, and he's only gone and done it.

Pussy.

I rode mine to Northern Ohio and back. That's about 350 miles each way. And I have a vintage shifter, none of this twist and go crap.

Last night a bee climbed into my glove and proceeded to sting the fuck out of me on the only stretch of A-road on my journey.

If I were mcconaeadjaowfeh I would be pleased with that - which he will be... unbelievably smug too. I didn't think it would get as far as even being assembled. It's an eye-burner but to have something like that behind him at 15 is promising for his future talents, provided he learns anything from it.

He didn't. I promise.

I MADE IT!

Hoorah!

I was hit on the chest by a leaf at about 50mph which stung a bit, but other than that, it went OK.

And I'm only 34. Could you do that when you were 34?

When I turned 30 I noticed that after an hour or two on the scooter it felt like someone was trying to pull my spine out of my body Scorpion style. I still need to invest in a more comfy seat for cross country riding.
