@boo No worries mate, I am an engineer who was a young student in the (failed) US pilot program to convert to metric in the early 70's. I'm fluent in both actually and PREFER metric. It also didn't hu...

very nice job @boo I learnt a lot reading this, love how it turned out.

My favourite song today. They won't be able to sign in to this website. And now I'm of to the airport to get my flight to Glasgow, visiting some friends in Ayr.

Posted by: @mattbeels How did the strap balance work out and what was the wiring trick that you learned for the killswitch? @mattbeels Cheers Matt, that pickup really does sound great. The strap tri...

Nice one @boo! The guitar came out great and that pickup sounds good, you can hear a bit of that VH sound in there even though he was playing more like AC/DC. How did the strap balance work out and wh...

I am, of course, using the “Bagpress Fret Slotting Jig” from @darrenking to slot my fretboard blank (I still don’t know what wood this is). This jig really is super simple and easy to use, consistent,...

Has anyone heard the British Eurovision song entry this year? I really don’t care that it’s the British entry, I’m not a nationalist, I just like the song. I found Sam Ryder on TikTok during lockdown...
