@clinton What is in Blackpool? I can't advise you on Blackpool as I've never been there. But I think I'd rather be in the middle of the Pacific.

@clinton Twice now this happens. I am laughing out loud in pure stupidity The advice is to walk away now Clinton and it won't seem so bad tomorrow. I'm not sure if that fixes our stupidity though.

@tv101 I'm told that the presence of spiders in a workshop is a good thing. If the conditions are right for them, then the conditions are right for the wood too. Maybe I should bring my woodstore i...

@hootmacher That is a great build, I admire your inventiveness.

@clinton I’d say average temp is at 21 degree at night to 29 degree C throughout the day. Perfect to swim everyday. Truly is wonderful. We've just had our first snow of the winter last night, not so...

@clinton That is nothing, minor. I spaced out and inlayed wrong fret spots of fret markers after the 12th fret. I didnt even catch til days after I finished the build. Thanks Clinton that makes me f...

@darrenking I’m sorry but momentarily forgetting the you’re not ambidextrous automatically disqualifies you! Ambidextrous, I'm not even dextrous. I should have known there would be a get out clause...

Welcome to the group Osceola. Nice looking guitars there.

@boo That really has made me chuckle Robin! I’m sorry to laugh but that has tickled me I laughed myself, eventually. If anybody spots that little repair, I'll be be claiming that it's just a knot. T...

@darrenking There is a special prize for anyone who comes up with a new mistake but it is highly unlikely anybody ever wins it! I can't believe that anyone else has drilled the bottom horn for the s...

I've never even held a 335 so would have nothing to compare it with. Having watched the Gibson videos now, I like the idea of building a hollow body archtop. I think it would be a huge challenge to me...

We need a finishing course that covers (pun intended) stuff like this too. I'm still spraying lacquer over my headstock waterslide transfers. That's ten coats now and I can still see the edges of the...

@boo No, don’t bother with Blackpool unless you like seedy bars, stag nights, hen dos and all that comes with it. It’s not for me! It's not for me either, I've never felt the need to go to Blackpo...

My favourite instrumental at the moment

@boo so am having to use whatever I have or get my hands on I've got a Bailey kit for my next build, but I'm thinking about searching the charity furniture shops for real old solid wood for my third...

I'm trapped in Polmont near Falkirk in Scotland just now, but I usually spend most of my time in a caravan on the shores of Loch Sween in Argyll on the Scottish west coast.

@boo Hi Boo, I'm very happy with my pine body with mahogany cap, so why not? Attachment : 20201113_170001.jpg

@steadda Do you have a link please, as usual there's loads show up in the search These are the ones that I've ordered. It says dispatched from Cambridge UK, but the Chinese seller seems to have a US...

@boo They are easy to find on Amazon Thats my bearings ordered, £3.99 from ebay for a set of 8.

@boo I made this a while ago Thanks Boo, thats excellent. I'll be copying that soon. I was trying to use junk that I had lying around.
