@tv1010101 Ive just been looking at the photos of your instruments which are all wonderful. Don't think you will have any problem making friends with this quality of work, especially if you have more ...

I'll book the NEC because by the time we are allowed to meet there will be enough of us to fill it I'm not sure whether it's a good thing that we'd be able to fill the NEC Or a bad thing because it m...

guitarmaking.co.uk convention....... I'll book the NEC because by the time we are allowed to meet there will be enough of us to fill it ?

Yes, very different. I never confuse my virtual friends with my imaginary ones.

I've got lots of friends, most of them virtual. Is that different to imaginary? I have many many (imaginary) friends. I like to think of all of the voices as being my friends. Otherwise, what are...

Our wives will all hate you! That's ok as long as their husbands don't.

So I just gave it to him. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? @david-johnson09 will be along again in a minute wanting to make friends ...

And so did my oldest son 26 years ago. Attachment : image.png

And to make matters worse, before I started to play guitar and bass I played conga's and timbales in several bands.
