the axe of the gods
Built the aforementioned axe of the gods for my A-level final piece. It was a matte black rock machine, and sounded every bit as amazing as you'd imagine an MDF electric guitar to sound. However, college informed me that I'd need to pay £175 or summat for my second year work to be marked, which I had no way of paying. So, deciding to scrap my future in musical instrument design, I didn't bother handing in my final project work. Imagine my delight then when my grade arrived out of the blue a month later, and I'd failed my A-level due to a lack of work at the end of the course. The bastards never even sent me my bill, proving that the whole £175 issue was probably just a test of faith. I'm not too pissed off though in retrospect, as I spent most of my final year getting stoned and cutting and pasting magazine clippings and talking about shit with my mates, which was worth the bus fare on it's own.
