Posted by: @tv101 Sorry to all - I had a last minute unexpected obstacle to my participation, so couldn't make it. Well done @rocknroller912 @robin @koendb for managing to get out just before @jamesb...

Another great job @clinton. 👍😁 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Decided to build close to a classic 62 design minus the skunk stripe truss rod method. I had a full scale plans of this for years and never attempted til now. Glad I did. It is for a friend who is alw...

My favourite song today:

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🎶🙂🙏🎸

@robin thanks very much
