He got a kick out of it as well as his wife and mother-in-law who was out on a visit.  I now sits on top of the DVD player in front of the TV.

Saw a few in Barnes and Noble on our last outing there.  We ended up not buying that trip, or a couple would have followed me home.  They look really cool to play with.

I wasn't sure either when I got them.  All the bends are pre scored and can be done with fingers, just need a pair of mini pliers (either needle nose or square nose) to bend over the tabs after they go through the slots, or give them a 90* twist, depending on where they are at.

Cutting the pieces out of the fret and getting rid of the burrs was the hardest part, but a new #11 and a 120/240 grit stick took care of that. 

Fun way to spend an hour and I think I gave around $15 for the pair sent to the door.

I've seen these things in stores and they have an amazing range of kits.  You did good on that one but I don't think I could build one, I'm having enough trouble building things anymore.
