Argggh, I remember hunting this one down a few years back. I wanted to find a copy with the other (Mark Bailey 😂) cover as it looks a bit better but wasn’t able to actually find one. Perhaps t...

So here it is, a real book after all! Attachment : image.jpeg

[edit - or unable-to-edit in this case] Actually Boo, that just shows how *easy* it is for a pretty skilled painter, who will have gone through the spray/rub/spray/buff/etc cycle more times than anyon...

@Robin That would be fairly easy to do, but I'm not sure it'd be worthwhile. Easy to do using something like a JamJar kit (see I got one of those last years and built it, with a small (4") speaker,...

The front, back and roof of the old 6'x4' hut will be moving to the caravan though. They'll be getting resized to fill the 3' gap between my two huts that are there and that'll let me clear some worki...

@tv101 How are you planning on moving the shed-shop when you move over to the caravan for summer? It's well nailed to the ground, it's going nowhere. The front, back and roof of the old 6'x4' hut w...

How are you planning on moving the shed-shop when you move over to the caravan for summer? You should have built it on top of a trailer so it could be hitched to the car, and towed ...

My workbench is finished now and shelves under it for some storage boxes with lids to keep the sawdust out. I've started making a stand for the bandsaw now and discoverd that planed shavings fill the ...

Thinking some more ... I think I've got some heavyish Ash in the workshop, so I could chamber that to make it usable (ie suitable weight). I've also got quite a few caps, including some that came fro...

Laminated neck with a bandsman body shape and cap or drop top. yes a laminated neck! @rocknroller912 @koendb I'd been thinking about a laminated neck. As it happens, one of my "tidy the workshop" ...

Laminated neck with a bandsman body shape and cap or drop top. yes a laminated neck! 🙂

@tv101 Laminated neck with a bandsman body shape and cap or drop top. Try something stupid with the electrics like wire the pick ups for stereo instead of mono. David Dyke has some good tops at the mo...

I think I’ve got to do some inlay work somewhere @koendb 👍 Binding too perhaps

@tv101 just dropping some ideas.. hipshot babygrand tailpiece, filtertron pickups, binding and a nitro finish, maybe a nice inlay pattern on the fretboard

My first book by Irving Sloane Attachment : F0570ADD-D29E-4DAD-8F76-39945471DAEB.jpeg

@russ I have that book (I think) I’ll look tomorrow...

@boo @frocesterbill. I think the first book might be genuine as it has the authors name on the cover but the second could be a fake. I'm sure I've heard Mark say that people have asked him to do a boo...

Check out these two books.....look at the names of the authors, especially the second one......are they genuine? 🤔🎸🙏🎶
