Phew almost didn't make it - but here we are! Get in early so you don't miss the new INTRO!!!!
Measure twice, cut once...
It was a good session today longest one ever I think nearly two hours. Your trip sounds good we are still not allowed to go anywhere.
Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.

Say what?!?
Total lockdown as in stay in the house or at least on your property? How do you get sundries and such?
Practice on scrap...
We are allowed out for essential food shopping only and there isn't much else open anyway. Even take away food shops are delivery only unless they have an outdoor serving hatch. Also for exercise which can be up to five miles from your home but home has to be the start and finish point, so you can't drive to the country and go for a walk.

That sounds roughly what we have here. There are more places open then what would be considered essential but as our numbers are low I guess more and more places are slowly re-opening.
But certain shops are 'click and collect' only which is nice but we haven’t really used them that much. But we are allowed to 'travel' a bit so a half an hour drive to some random forest for a couple of hours walk is a nice change of pace. Sorry you guys aren’t able to do that!

And we can't even stop off for a click and collect at Toolstation on the way home from a hospital appointment, even though its only 50 metres off the route. It seems that buying tools to build a guitar is classed as non essential, as someone said you only need a screwdriver. But I'm going for my covid vaccine tomorrow, that'll be like having a day out.
That was an epic session today - thanks Mark for all the time put into that, and thanks to Carol too!
It was so long, that I had to eat my lunch whilst watching. Don’t think anyone noticed though.

Apart from a fortnightly takeaway collection (the - only - decent restaurant within 10 miles started doing a takeaway service during lockdown1, and we committed to supporting them so they stay in business!), I’ve probably been “offsite” <20 times since lockdown1 started.
Cars to garage for MOTs, village petrol station for fuel (lawnmowers!), village shop to collect some fresh fish orders, postbox at the end of the lane and that’s about it ...

Hope that goes well @robin. Spoke to my old mum earlier this eve - she had hers a couple of weeks ago, and had no reaction whatsoever. Said the whole process was painless ....

Great session today!
Mark, please don't be too frustrated with the lack of practical in balance with the questions.
They were excellent Qs and fascinating informative replies.
The same information may be on the tutorials, but it's fun learning/confirming stuff along with the community live.
Great channel run by lovely people, it can only grow!!!
