Have you been able to do any practising during the lockdown years? Though it sounds/looks like quite a tight band, so I guess it'll all come back to you all fairly quickly once you can get back toget...

For the older folk: @jamesbisset I'm pretty sure I've seen and heard that very track being broadcast recently. Are you famous really? 😉 Really enjoy your Bliss appearances!

I look forward every week to seeing what you and Mabbot are up to. You might just change your opinion @jamesbisset if Carol plays this week's contributions ... (mine, not Mabbbotttt's!).

Anyone watching Bliss last night will have seen this - well, seen most of this before the subtle editing towards the end from our host. For anyone not watching Bliss last night, here's something you ...

Its proper daft this problem with stocks of these machines. Supply issues will sort themselves out over the next few weeks/months. Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now, and then struggl...

Cheers Matt for the welcome. 😀 Yeah I'd seen it had only 4 inch depth of cut. I had also considered splashing out on the 350 which has a bigger depth of cut and wouldn't stress the motor as m...

Welcome to the forum @hursty! Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. With regards to the Record BS 250, it has a rather small depth of cut of 120mm so before you buy make sure that any headstoc...

Hi Tej, Thanks for the welcome and advice. It's going to be a fun journey. 😀

Thanks TV1. 😀 Your words are really encouraging and I can see your advice is really sound about following it all step by step and walking away to re-evaluate it when it goes wrong. I'm de...

I’d never contemplated butchering mine, will investigate later!!

The bit that slides up and down is some kind of plastic - I trimmed some of it so that it could slide up a bit more - I’ll take some pics later.

did a bit of surgery on the bit that adjusts the height of cut @frocesterbill What did you do for this?

I have a cheapo Titan bandsaw from ScrewFix - added a decent blade and did a bit of surgery on the bit that adjusts the height of cut - can now do just over 90mm. Also watched a couple of YouTube vi...

Welcome @hursty I used to live in Leeds many moons ago, my god I love Yorkshire. Anyways, I'm right there with you on the no experience, or at least nothing since GCSE CDT, of course this all shows wi...

I've no experience of wood working at all so this could be a disaster or a new love. I was there, many years ago. When you say "no" experience - I did have experience of wood working, but all of it h...

Cheers Boo 👍

@hursty Hey Hursty, welcome to the forum and congrats on buying your first Bailey Bandsman guitar kit. You will find loads of help here in the forum so whenever you run into problems or concerns, just...

Use a hand saw if you’re only making one guitar

Hi all, After much pondering I took the plunge and became a premium member and ordered a standard Bandsman kit. 😀 I've no experience of wood working at all so this could be a disaster or a ne...
