Thinking aloud.

 

Mark's put a huge amount of time & effort into his YT vids.

I wonder if we could help out a bit?  Something that reinforces the Bailey brand.  Something that takes a little weight off his shoulders.  Something that builds more of the community spirit here.  Something that's fun.

 

What about if .... we were all to build a Bailey Bandsman, but with our own twists?  

 

What about it .... we did some content for Mark to add to his channel, build diaries, maybe some videos, show how we take the basic shape into different designs, maybe some sound clips.  

 

Maybe start with a Bailey kit - or at least a set of templates - to drive a bit of business through the Bailey shop too?

 

Put a timescale on it - build before Christmas perhaps?

 

As I said ... thinking allowed ... what do you think???

Sounds like a great idea @TV1010101. 

these are the bandsman I’ve built so far (they are clones as only Baileys can make a true bandsman)

I think a good build off should be good.

Yesss!!! Already starting on my first Bandsman! I am super pumped to make a Bailey design. Call it “The Great Bailey Bandsman Guitar Build Off 2020” It has to be well documented with Bailey method building and sound test demo!

Granted that all content should have Mark’s approval  to show.

I could probably turn the stills of my Bandsman build into a slide show with commentary - might give another view of the process?

Measure again.........

That sounds like a neat idea @frocesterbill ... it all adds interesting content for Mark's channel and perhaps brings a few more people in, from different searches, etc.

I did that with my first few on put on YT and you might have seen them in the showcase section. I think the commentary addition would be a bonus...

Perhaps we could all (individually) do a pseudo-interview "to camera" piece to accompany the pictures?

We could come up with a set of Qs, about the guitar itself (or themselves), the process of making them (following Mark's courses), the forum here, etc.

It's all content for Mark's channel - and the forum too.

I did a short one of those after my first workshop build - didn’t after the second because the guitars hadn’t been sprayed.

“The Bailey Bandsmen” that’s a good name for a band! I am down to play drums. I’m a pretty decent drummer on the cocktail kit I have. Too many guitar players here already.

I might be dreaming this but I think Mark asks people to do a vid of their experience as part of the online course..?

So then, @markbailey, would this sort of thing be useful for you in putting some more content on your YT channel?

If so, any thoughts on what would be good (or not)?

Or, if not, perhaps we'll just do it for a bit of forum fun ... make some Bandsmen over the next few weeks & months and share some decent photo stories and sound clips here!
