I was looking through the benefits of the various levels of membership.
I noticed that one of the benefits of the standard level is to "make friends".
Now, I've got quite a few guitars already, probably enough, and quite possibly more than enough. I'll carry on making more of course, but not because I want more!
However, the opportunity to make some friends sounds great to me. I've got far fewer of them than I have guitars.
I've had a quick look around, but couldn't find the plans or templates for making the friends anywhere.
Anyone know where they are?

@TV1010101 Nope, no idea! Move along, nothing to see here! ?
Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸

I am of course joking!
I know where the master template for “Friends” is.
We are in it right now, it’s this forum and I welcome it. ?

This forum is the template and like a real one, it has edges, boundaries, constraints and you have to carve out your own way to great projects and make friends along the way. How well you do it depends on how sharp, neat and deep you cut!
Happy templating Bailey friends! ?✌️

I hadn't even intended to make a guitar, making new friends is a bonus.
@robin We are all virtual friends through the medium and miracle that is the www but one day we may all meet in person, killer viruses allowing!

@johnnierox-boo Surely Mark is the template, making a whole clan of guitar makers in his image (or at least using most of his techniques and know-how). Anybody want to volunteer to be the bearing guided cutter?
One day there will be a guitarmaking.co.uk convention, I can feel it in my bones!!

Wow! This site is a template for making friends - I never expected that but it is true - thanks folks for all your kind words - it really makes it all worthwhile...Big Up the Guitar Making Revolutionists!

Our time is coming I can feel it...
Measure twice, cut once...

@darrenking I would say @markbailey is the designer and creator of the guitar making template but that is just the start. All of us here can go on to morph the template into something beyond the sum of its parts. And yes, although we are some of those parts, we are also the lifeblood of this living, firebreathing, creative, shape shifting template that is Guitarmaking.co.uk ?????? We are Frankenstein’s Monster, or rather Bailey’s ragtag, eclectic mix of guitar making worshipers that is taking on a life of its own.
Mike drop! ?

I'll book the NEC because by the time we are allowed to meet there will be enough of us to fill it
I'm not sure whether it's a good thing that we'd be able to fill the NEC
Or a bad thing because it means that the restrictions will have to be in force for many many years ...
😉
I think I'd settle for just being able to fill Mark's workshop with another set of course attendees!

@tv1010101
Ive just been looking at the photos of your instruments which are all wonderful. Don't think you will have any problem making friends with this quality of work, especially if you have more guitars than you need. Everybody will want to be your new best friend.
Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.
Most of my friends are coming back to me over the last few weeks mainly to get free setups and string changes... ?
it’s nice to see old builds though
I have too many guitars...said no one in the world..ever!
Hey Mark
Is it possible for the site to incorporate a World map with pins showing where all the forum members are? It would be great to watch your membership spread over the surface of the Earth like some kind of virus type thing (if anyone can imagine what that might be like!)

@darrenking Yeah a map would be nice to see how the Bailey Empire grows.

Don't like to be a wet blanket but it would have to be careful how closely people's locations were identified. The web is full of scammers trying to find out who you are and where you live. Only two pieces of information are needed to start an identity fraud.
