I voted live streams, but you can download them and chop them up and do a best bits kinda deal. There is a place for both kinds of videos though. Quality of the live streams is great though

Live streams have their own advantages that it would give a certain confidence to whoever is watching that there is Mark who is doing it on the spot, down to earth with all the mistakes that we all do...

But Mark needs the views/viewers on YouTube, 5000 subscriber for the amazing Mark & Carol doesn't make me happy at all. 100,000 maybe I can partially smile then. I think you have to keep in mind ...

The builds look great. The blue burst look really nice. Are you lacquering?

-- attachment is not available -- I like the look of that!! I'm surprised at the number of people who tackle a build like that early in their building career - I always assumed that would be one of th...

I love the idea of finding a lump of wood under a caravan (I mean, who hasn't?) and then turning it into a musical instrument, it's is just so amazing! I think we can all get so wrapped up in what may...

Its going to be a semi hollow body with a hardwood cap Great stuff - post plenty of progress pics. Apart from the fact that I love watching builds come together (and generally learn some useful tip...
