@tv101 I think Mark is a master of the understatement. Whack is probably the technical term for precise fitting.

@rajbcpa Have you got a photo to post. Mark did a demo on this during last weeks live stream about how to cope with a split side. It's not always a disaster.

@russ i think this was discussed on one of the live streams and Mark suggested using car body filler which works very well, sticks ok and is easy to sand. My favourite is chemical metal brand from Hal...

@jonhodgson Sometimes firms round up orders for low value small qty items to the size they are supplied in, known as "nearest unit qty" because it's not economical to split into smaller sizes. The st...

@frocesterbill I'm giving you points just for being old as we oldies have to stick together. I will be 68 in a few days (scary thought) so you can image computing and modern technology didn't play any...

Hi all good to see we have an @deej thread going, it gives the forum another dimension supporting members who are not keeping too well. Also that there is some IT instruction for people who are not 10...

@russ Dont tempt fate it can always be worse

@usadave good looking job so far

@boo @tv101 Thanks I used couriers a lot when I was working mostly taking deliveries as I was purchasing officer in a big organisation. We took several deliveries every day from all the UK firms. Herm...

@peebee Thanks I will send you an email so you can get mine. It will be Spring/Summer maybe before I start serious work but I will be looking for light jobs next week when I get my stitches out (yippe...

@mattbeels I think it's a great idea. Sometimes for beginners plans in two dimensions are difficult to interpret so tips from a person who has built one are great. They don't give you the kind of deta...

@mattbeels I would be up for sharing any resources that are not available on the Bailey web site, but would be careful not to undermine anything that Mark is doing. I have templates for a few things I...

@peebee @mattbeels Paper templates will be easy enough to send I wouldn't even want anything for sending them (big fat Govt pension ha ha) @boo Couriers are easy if you have an account but they are no...

Seb Looks great

@boo I wonder what it would look like at a concert with coloured stage lights flashing

@peebee If you don't have plans for the Les Paul replica I can make some paper templates and send them. Could also make a second set of router templates but they might be pricey to send. Finishing fla...

@tv101 Yes it's fun being a Guinea Pig. Don't think we need to leave our bodies to medical science we've already done our bit.

@peebee I'm planning to make a Les Paul replica later on in this year as well. I already have the flame top, pick ups, body blank, plans and some part made templates from clear plastic which I'm going...

@boo Spectacular result. When you move to Scotland I think a custom paint business would do very well, just don't paint the Union Flag anywhere. Perhaps video courses in custom painting would work and...

tv101 Thanks still don't really know what it was but it looked a bit like sepsis starting to take hold. Everybody was calling in to have a look see something unexplained. Nobody said not to drink Guin...
