@steveadams.

Another great job well done Steve. Good tip to use the offcuts to practice with first. I'll have to see if I can find myself a helping hand..... great double act.Ā

@steveadams

Good job and very brave to let someone else work your wood. I don’t like those European type mains plugs where the earth is an open terminal on the outside, alway fit a UK plug once the year guarantee is up.

Thanks everyone...@bpower @koendb @mattbeels @rocknroller912 @russ

Really appreciate your comments..I'm afraid to say that I had to sack my assistant, he was making too many demands and becoming very high maintenance...!!!

Next video coming v soon...

Thanks @markbailey I was a little bit worried when I noticed the split...

Cheers

Steve

@steveadams Hey Steve, I haven’t forgotten about you and these videos, I just haven’t got around to watching them yet. I think I watched the first one so I’ve got some catching up to do.Ā 
My gardening season has just started so I’m out at work and then I am building guitars and other stuff when I get in.Ā 
I’m aware that your videos are legendary and I am not ignoring you, I just need to find some time.Ā 

Keep going man. 🤘😁🤘🎸


Make guitars, not war šŸŒāœŒļøšŸŽø

I tuned in today expecting (not really) to see it all finished.

What's going on @steveadams??Ā 

Ā 

I haven’t forgotten about you and these videos, I just haven’t got around to watching them yet. I think I watched the first one so I’ve got some catching up to do.Ā 

Or are you still waiting for the laggard @boo to manage to catch up??

Hey TV

I haven't been slacking... I haven't been in the country!!! I had a job last week in Abu Dhabi and I'm currently in the midst of quarantine before I can come home..

Luckily I'm not spending 11 days in a hotel room at Heathrow as when the govt opened up Portugal we were able to slip in there...

Ā 

So once I've left the Algarve and get home around 30th I'll be back on the job. .

Ā 

Can't wait

Cheers

Steve

Sorry, but I'm not sure how that's relevant.

Surely you could have taken the kit and a few tools with you??

Ā 

Enjoy the holiday!

Quarantine in the Algarve hmmmm doesn’t sound too difficult, probably warmer than here. You would have missed the hailstones last Sunday afternoon then.Ā

@steveadams

Glad I’m in tune with your family thinking, it just proves what a hive mind the Bailey community is. I believe May is a record cold month here so make the most of whatever sun you are getting, it might be your only chance this year.
