Another big reason is to show everybody that it doesn't take a shopfull of tools to build an instrument. If a 16-year old with very little woodworking experience could build an instrument in his spare time during summer break, any of you out there can.

Dude, you are a total MacGruber... I love it!!!
That kind of project would scare the he!! out of me... that's biting off a giant piece to chew...
that's why I think you kick ass.
I wouldn't sweat the finger wound - after about a week or two you'll be back to healed... if not, your lapsteel will be built and you can just use the slide bar :)
I am still holding off on my lapsteel until I can get my hands on two string benders (I want to tune it in Open E and put benders on the G and B strings for full-on fake pedal steelin')... but you're inspiring me to perhaps just build it and worry about benders later!!!
I am loving this thread and I can't wait for more updates!!!
For all of the MacGrubers out there (hopefully including me):
