It would be interesting to see what a good hard whack with a hammer and hole punch would do to that mother of pearl.

I find it hard to describe what you do as
little building!!!
My point here is that it shouldnt always make sense!
For my first guitar, I had no wood working experience, no electric guitar experience (and no electric guitar!) and would have to spend a lot on tools and stuff, which add up to quite a bit more than a ready begginers guitar - it made no sense to try and build one myself at that point in time! But i had a lot of fun doing it and learned a lot (and ended up with a wonderful sounding and playing guitar, thanks to the help of many people).
But I believe that if I had an easier access to markers, I would buy them and not make them myself...
It is just so much fun though!!!
