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???

I could probably turn the stills of my Bandsman build into a slide show with commentary
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...
I have too many guitars...said no one in the world..ever!

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.

Interview on camera....had to do that a couple of times at work........ Rabbit in headlights spring to mind 😳
🤣
This is as good as it gets from me..
oh that Lancashire twang 😬 I sound like Andy Kershaw..

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!
