Hi Rocknroller,That sounds an awful lot more complicated than most of the ‘winding your own pick-ups’ videos I’ve watched on YouTube. They mainly seem to be concerned with the the pattern of winding and the overall resistance of the winding,…   Read more»

The odd thing was, when I was pointing out these failings of the film to my wife, she just told me to shut up and said that she was only watching it for the views and the scenery. I just…   Read more»

M&C, What can I say? What a truly wonderful way to say thank you to all your members and supporters! Clearly heartfelt and very moving. It was the first thing that has made me feel in the least bit Christmassy…   Read more»

Fortunately, it’s not a very large kitchen!!

Does that mean that I should hold off on booking any exotic foreign holidays on the back of it? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Hi Boo, No problem. Just email me a dimensioned sketch of what you need and I’ll machine it over Christmas once all of the parties are over, the theatre and restaurant trips out of the way and all of my…   Read more»
