Agreed @Boo, waste of money, best car I ever had was an old Pug 306 that I ran on veg oil - bomb proof - in the end let down by a rotten wiring loom. I would sooner buy wood and tools these days.

Now we've got a ~10yo van, a ~15yo 4WD estate car (both of which are for practical use) @tv101 Yep, that’s my thoughts on vehicles these days, practicality. Our cars are a similar age to yours but wh...

I'd prefer your old Mark1 Escort That's probably - almost certainly - worth more today @Russ!!! But I prefer the comfort (and performance) of the MB. Gone are the days of me poking about under a bon...

I lost interest in cars a long time ago after realising they are all &hit! They all rust, fall to pieces and cost you money. I keep two bog standard cars on the road and only use them when I absol...

Yup. I'm of that age now ... 😉 @tv101. I'd prefer your old Mark1 Escort. 🤣😁🚗

or is it a Merc? Yup. I'm of that age now ... 😉

You generally need a straight edge before you can create a straight edge Cheers @tv101. I'm going to give it another go. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

My trouble has always been that I don’t have any truly flat surfaces anywhere. Even my kitchen worktops are not completely flat. My wife caught me checking them for flatness and figured out why, she s...

I struggled for a while, trying to create properly accurate - straight - edges. You generally need a straight edge before you can create a straight edge ... or you have to be reasonably adept with the...

i think this was discussed on one of the live streams and Mark suggested using car body filler which works very well, sticks ok and is easy to sand Cheers @rocknroller912. I might try and give it a g...

Does anyone allow any extra on the template to allow for sanding @jonhodgson. Hi Jonathan, I used the measurements that Mark suggest. Just wish I had his skills to make it too. 🎸🙂&#x...

@frocesterbill. Thanks Bill. That's how I tried to do it but I guess I'll just have to get better at planing and sanding. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

I’ve ended up using the straight edge of something as a router guide and routed the straight edges of the template. Cheers @boo. Sounds like a good idea. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Does anyone allow any extra on the template to allow for sanding? I wonder how much shaping and finish sanding will take off, but with a neck even a millimetre can make a difference (it's a regret of ...
