No Blackpool is not a great place to visit, only for drunken weekend. It’s full of people who want to rob you.

So many interesting places besides that sh*tehole….

@e-den-hertog Thanks, I will visit your country one day. I understand your feelings about Amsterdam, I feel the same way about Blackpool. 

Me, I live in ‘t Netherlands, Heerhugowaard to be exact….. @e-den-hertog That’s somewhere else I’ve never been but would love to one day. Actually I haven’t left the British isles for over 39 years, that’s probably why I’m utterly sick…   Read more»

I’ll give it a go then! Thanks Tone!

Get the order in quick @e-den-hertog – you don’t know what shipping will be like once Europe cuts itself free from the UK at the end of the year …

Looking good, I’m looking forward to seeing your build in progress.

@e-den-hertog

I use the same crowing file with a piece of 400 grit to remove the file marks and 600, 800 and 1000 grit to remove the scratches of the previous grits. @e-den-hertog Thanks Edwin, that’s very helpful, thanks for your…   Read more»

@e-den-hertog Thanks, I think the way I’m going at the moment, I would batch spray a few guitars and necks so I could calculate how many cans I would need. So, with doing more than one job, 400ml cans will…   Read more»

Thanks @e-den-hertog 🙂   It had been kicking around the workshop for a while.  I’d jointed it, and rough cut it, years ago, intending to use it on a build but then changed my mind. It then sat on a…   Read more»

Hello Edwin @e-den-hertog!
It was a great week 🙂
But then they’ve all been great weeks – I think it’s one of Mark’s laws!
