Sorry to all - I had a last minute unexpected obstacle to my participation, so couldn't make it. Well done @rocknroller912 @robin @koendb for managing to get out just before @jamesbisset turned up. S...

Posted by: @koendb This guitar will be called Dotty Parton. The dots will need to be bigger.

@jamesbisset James sorry we missed you. I think it will take a few weeks for the video calls to become a regular thing. Catch you on Thursday maybe.

@jamesbisset Have I missed all the action? It’s 21:30 here and I seem to be the only one in the room... You must have just missed us, thats just about the time I left the room. It was good to meet ...

@koendb Which one is it, I’m guessing fret 3

Posted by: @rocknroller912 My only comment is that if we are going to do video chat on Thursdays when Carol is not doing Bliss, then we should make a distinction between the two nights or it will gui...

@tv101 Tagging@robin- and anyone else who fancies joining in! Thanks, I'll try to be there, my Internet has been a bit temperamental lately possibly due to the weather we're having, hopefully it'll ...

Join us on Jitsi @boo and you get to see the guitar too.

@koendb Incredibly neat, clean and precise work, I’m enjoying watching you build this guitar. 👍
