Wish I had picked up on this earlier. It can be very confusing as some UK institutions like banks still use the old letter size for printing which was pre decimalisation in 1970. It’s not much differe...

@russ Lucky you I’ve never seen him or the ISB live. Think he lives in the Borders somewhere near Selkirk.

@boo Most of their music is like that

This one came into my head tonight when I was discussing the demise of live music in the pub due to Covid and wondering if it’s ever going to return. For anyone that is too young it sings about what l...

@boo I forgot to say that I did look for a pot in my spores box but don’t have one sorry

@darrenking Ive recently watched the video on this and I think that Mark said its because the other braces are flexible enough to take the curve although they are glued on flat and once the top is cur...

@tej Ive thought about doing things a different way, like doing a two wood headstock say rosewood and ebony instead of a plain one colour. Tried it once it worked ok.

@bpower Very neat job

@jamesbisset You’ve certainly stirred the pot with this topic, all you have to do now is compose a rag time tune and call it the Oily Rag.

@poco7 Looks like a good start

I did try sanding sealer before cutting and it helped. This is a really cheap piece of wood soft and powdery. I’m sure it will be much better on a quality piece.

@tej I didn’t explain myself very well again. I meant to raise my work bench up by a lot maybe a foot or more as I’m 6 ft 1 inch tall and working on a folding bench kills my back.

@tej Thanks I’m glad I tried this as a practice first before using the expensive wood. I’ve never used a Dremel before and I’m thinking of ideas to raise the work height.

@koendb You have made some good tools there. I’ve never been keen on router guides.

@tej Its the camera angle, I checked it with callipers

@tej Tested my new bushing and pin cutting out the sound hole. It works much better. I know Mark uses a big router to cut these inlays but I wasn’t using a standard 6mm inlay only a DIY one from a bit...

@boo It certainly jumps out from the screen

Looks like I’m in trouble, my bike mechanic workshop and my guitar workshop are the same place.

@tej Im not very sure which fish oil but I heard an old radio programme a while ago where the company that was commissioned by the US Govt to find a rust protection/treatment talked about trying diffe...
