Make the neck normal size

@markbailey That’s good to know Mark, thanks very much. @tv101 it will still be interesting to see what those measurements are. There is no rush now though. 👍

Also a small announcement…

@markbailey You are not pregnant again are you Mark? 

@markbailey Set my reminder!  It’ll be live at 8AM here in my neck o’ the hills, and I start work at 9, so I’ll catch the first hour live at least!

@markbailey Fingers crossed for ya! Looks the BIZ.  Thanks Mark, a quick question, do I put my earth wire into the end stop post or the bridge post?   And also my drill was a bit wobbly and the end stop…   Read more»

@markbailey  I’m not nearly ready for finishing yet, but I’m trying to think ahead. I saw some cheap lacquer in Aldi’s a couple of weeks ago so I  bought their last three tins to give it a try. It says…   Read more»
