Yes it's it bit of a conversation piece when there's people here, its usually quite quiet during the week. @robin It’s good to see you getting attention for it and it’s great that it is stimulating y...

@johnnierox-boo Thanks John. Yes it's it bit of a conversation piece when there's people here, its usually quite quiet during the week. My friend next door is a retired tech teacher, unfortunately ...

I'm really enjoying making the neck. @robin Good lad Robin, it’s looking good. Does anyone every walk past and ask you what you are doing?

@tv1010101 It's great working outside when the sun is shining, but the natural dust extraction was blowing a bit cold today. It's so satisfying seeing the neck gradually taking shape.

I'm really enjoying making the neck. Seeing you do that, @Robin, on a workmate in a field - I'm embarrassed really that I've not got stuck into neck building properly, in my indoor workshop. That's m...

I'm really enjoying making the neck. Finished thicknessing the headstock, chiselled the shape and drilled for the tuners. I used a step drill for the tuner holes, drilling from both sides. By the time...

@tv1010101 Most of my mistakes involve the router. I haven't made a headstock template yet, just a paper pattern, I'm thinking about using my new found chisel skills to shape the headstock rather than...

Absolutely @johnnierox-boo! I think I now get as much satisfaction from fixing the problems that invariably arise as I do from completing a build! Every build, every piece of wood, is different. As...

I've had some mishaps with the router already @robin Don’t worry about it, like @tv1010101 said, we’ve all been there. On my first Bailey Bandsman build, following the online lessons, my router bit r...

@tv1010101 Another mishap with the router today and split an edge of the heel. I wedged the split open and doused it with superglue. I think most of the split will be cut off later anyway. Attachm...

@robin I've had some mishaps with the router already We've all been there, done that! It's a great tool and incredibly versatile, but it's also very easy to do something that you didn't quite intend...

Have you got a jigsaw? @johnnierox-boo I do have a jigsaw but iv'e bought the wrong type of blades (I hadn't realised there were different types of shank). So Iv'e only got one blade, and I think i...

By the time I wake up tomorrow I'll have thought of some way to do it. @robin Have you got a jigsaw? Use a jigsaw for the most of it and finish it off with your router. At a push, you could do it all...

@tv1010101 Pigeon breast, lightly sautéed in butter and served with an apple and red current purée is really what pigeons are for. (Sorry to all our vegetarian and vegan members). It really makes even...

It sounds quite idyllic where you are with all the wildlife, I’m quite envious @johnnierox-boo Iv'e got all the wildlife but iv'e not got access to a bandsaw here. I not sure yet how I'm going cut t...

Fantastic! The best bit of wildlife we’ve had in our garden in a sparrow hawk, it took a pigeon out and feasted on it in the bottom corner. Ahhhhh - that's what pigeons are for!!

When I came back, Dad had disappeared, but Mum & Baby had arrived. So I took some quick shots! @tv1010101 Fantastic! The best bit of wildlife we’ve had in our garden in a sparrow hawk, it took a...

@johnnierox-boo Great photos, great that they are in your own garden. I was sat in the kitchen one lunchtime, and "Dad" appeared around the end of reeds around the pond. Don't often see him so clos...

Can't match that ... but we've got some of these guys living in the garden ... @tv1010101 Great photos, great that they are in your own garden.
