So for my 2nd home build i thought i'd try some binding and purfling, but didn't want to fork out for a bending iron. Turns out my wife's curling tongs are just the job and cost me nothing - other than a costly divorce if she finds out! Works a treat though

Be careful borrowing the wife's stuff. I was putting a couple of guitar hanging brackets on the wall the other day and being a considerate husband, I hoovered up the brick dust. Now obviousy I didn't wash the wrong colour of dust out of the hoover or put it back on charge. Maybe she'll start talking to me again tomorrow.
