I’m getting close to being finished with a guitar for the winner of the drawing I had months ago. It is a copy of my 3rd design I named Maria after my wife yet using a variation of her middle name, Ma...

@brie I didn’t realise how much I’d written until I posted it. 😂😂😂😂👍

@boo Wow Boo, thanks for all the info, chapter and verse right enough🤣🤣 You could get a job with those people as a salesman🤣🤣 Seriously though, I think we might give it...

@brie They will assess everything to do with insulation and then see where you can improve and/or whether what you have already is adequate. They checked roof in, wall insulation, floor insulation, yo...

@boo Does the extra insulation just go in the loft or are we talking about tearing out the walls? Don’t think I could be doing with a major upheaval but then again, we are planning having some redecor...

that's a really nice work, especially for a first attempt making it from scratch.. great job!

well that is some nice equipment right there, now if only I had the right budget to afford one.. 😥

I re-carved the top, got rid of the volute and thinned out the neck then re-finished it, feels even better now to play. Just need to add on strap buttons, and then it's officially finished, the one th...

@russ I'll be down in Falkirk today for the top of the league clash with Hamilton I'm in Polmont, about 3 miles from the Falkirk Stadium, your welcome to pop in after the game if want ( but not a w...

The guitar sounds great on the wee video @robin. If you're moving from Falkirk to Dumbarton you should get yourself signed up for the course at Anniesland. It's only about a 20 minute drive. I'll be d...

@robin Ah very nice. When sorting through your stuff, be ruthless. I did it with 20 years of stuff and quite a bit of what I've brought here, I've ended up getting rid of. Keep the most sentimental s...

@robin Link works - guitar sounds great! Awesome job -thanks for posting!

@boo Are you moving to another area or same region? We're looking at Dumbarton or near there, we need to be closer to our granddaughter. The tough bit is clearing out 35 years of accumulated junk ...
