I had an 2.6 Audi A4 estate that was that shade of green! Paradise Green it was called. Bloody loved that car!

Do what makes you happy you must. The main time drag has been a decorating project that my wife "suggested". Hall, stairs and landing. It was a *big* job. But that's now done, the weather's gettin...

Will do TV. I have just sent the drawing of the shaft over to my favourite engineering company in Sandy so I'll see what cost they come back with. I'm going to use a 750w (1HP) servo motor, designed f...

Pictures to follow in the next week or so but if anyone is interested please let me know as, if there is interest, I might run a small batch of them to help reduce costs. I don’t need any kind of firm...

I better start checking things twice If only someone had mentioned this concept to you before, this might never have happened!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

So, what, @Boo - are you suggesting that Carol takes *all* the blame herself? Not very gentlemanly ... hope she doesn't see this thread ...

Well, I'm certainly older (and a lot less firm) than I used to be @Boo - but the schedule still said end-April for my jab - ie I'm not collecting my pension for a while yet! I'm guessing it's linked t...

Rather happy to have received a (bona fide) text from my GP surgery a couple of hours ago, inviting me to make a vaccination appointment. 😊 Jab #1 next Tuesday. 👍 👍 👍 ...

#faileyguitars (and @boo got the credit, wtf!) to be fair, that was more due to Carol's "speed reading" than Boo's fault 😉 Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame??? 😆

@tv101 But somehow, I never have the right parts for the next build. 😆😆😆 #faileyguitars (and @boo got the credit, wtf!)

"But somehow, I never have the right parts for the next build." When you could have sworn you had two of something but can only find one of it ...

Until I get a bigger hut organised, then the little hut becomes timber to make a workbench and shelves. I like your planning!!

@TV101 Nice workspace extension@Robin... won't be long, and you'll have "re-purposed" the whole garage There's plans for change if lockdown is going to continue and I can't get back to my west coas...

Hi Brad I'll add my (slightly belated) welcome too - always good to have another member on here posting pics of their builds. I'm always envious of the timbers that seem to be available in the US th...

@TV101 I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? I got them on ebay, I can't see them on there any more, I'll have another look later. I can't vouch for the...

There was a tiny flaw in the body blank and I'd positioned the body shape on the blank so that I would remove this little blemish with the belly carve, or so I thought. The deeper I carved, the bigger...

. Gets top marks from me. Anyone who takes the time and trouble to make the back look good like that gets my vote. I *hate* using cheap bits of black plastic as cavity covers!!

I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. @Robin - have you got a link to that? (Sorry for all the individual posts btw - I'm catching up on your thread, and posting replies as I get to ...

Simple temporary jig but effective. It will wear out eventually. Just simply make another. Just make scraps are square to start. Ingenuity 👍

I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Rubbish @Robin - you've carved an easy-access neck joint heel there - great design improvement ...
