Well done Robin, really didn’t think you’d get it done last weekend, we had horrible weather on the Sunday, though I know it was much better in Edinburgh. Congratulations👍😃🎸

@tv101 Catching up with this a little after-the-event You're not too late, Its still quite fresh in my mind. Norfolk would maybe be a bit of a stretch, but your donation is very welcome, thank you.

Catching up with this a little after-the-event. Congrats Robin, and a small addition made. It will cover Norfolk, right?

@nsj Yeah sure, I know about that. I’ll try some. 👍

@boo it would take an awful lot of soldering to get any harm from the lead, not nearly big enough amounts. It's like a lot of things, 2k spray etc, the danger can come from using it all day everyday.

@nsj See, I know that little about electronics and soldering, I didn’t know there was leaded and unleaded solder. Is the leaded stuff not dangerous to health? Is that not why they created unleaded? T...

@boo Heat the item, add the solder lol. And use leaded, that lead free stuff is naff, I can do everything with a simple 30 watt iron using leaded stuff.

@tv101 Oh wow! That looks like a nightmare for me. Good job though, very neat work T, I’m impressed.

Practice @Boo, just practice! This took a bit of soldering, but it all works Attachment : 20230815_113750sml.jpg

Yeh he's a proper nosey git lol Anyway, board radiused to 12 and got the fret markers in Attachment : 20231016_175342.jpg

@nsj Very nice. I love your little helper too! 😺

Got the trussrod slot routed, headstock angle done and fretboard glued and clamped. I like cutting the headstock angle wide of the line with the bandsaw then using a handplane to bring it into place. ...

What a neat idea - I'd never have thought of doing that!!

Dear Mark, don't cut 26 fret slots on my bass fretboard, it just confuses me 🤣 Anyway, fretboard from Mark and Carol arrived so I can crack on with the bass. Also got the 9.5mm radian rou...

@robin Well done! I’m glad you landed on the ground at a safe pace that you could walk away from it. 😆 You got more than your target. The air ambulance is such an important service here in Sc...

I completed the abseil yesterday, the most difficult part was the getting up there with my dodgy lungs, luckily it was busy and we had to stop a couple of time, so got a chance to get my breath back. ...

Howdy! Welcome and I agree with everyone else about the size of bandsaw blade, I think most of us do. Nice soldering station by the way, think I’ll make something similar. I need all the help I can ge...

@nsj Looks great! I’ve used resin a lot, especially blue and green, it always looks good against the contrasting wood colour.

Thank you for the warm welcome. So I've built and just taken the clamps off the case - at 43", it has enough capacity to take a larger guitar and act as a wood store in the interim of the build to kee...
