@tv101 You’ve just ruined the surprise.

Thanks @boo, it’s not like one those xmas cards that spreads glitter everywhere when you open the envelope is it. 🙂

Thanks @tv101, but boo got in before you.. I do have a little bag of rosewood magic dust,           in my hut at the caravan though, a 7 hour round trip away.

Hi @tv101, that’s probably what ill do, but I haven’t got any rosewood to make dust from. I’ll fix the maple part today, the chip in the rosewood won’t look so big then.

@tv101 reminder to look in the morning (not supposed to be online this eve!)

Go for it @tv101. They very rarely play outside Dublin these days if at all. I might have to take a wee trip over to Whelans sometime.

@tv101 Thanks I think I posted photos of some of my builds before but here’s a Strat in bubinga from about 2000 and my fiddle started at the Cambridge Violin School,

what might be good … when you do the other stuff tomorrow, could you take some “before” pics, and show them next to the “after” pics, hopefully in lighting conditions that are consistent-ish. @tv101 Yeah, I guess I forgot to…   Read more»

I’m still happily listening to 1970s OGWT shows …

I saw them about 10 years ago @tv101. They still had it. 👍😁

April Fools Joke fail @Boo

Am I the only one expecting to see persons in various states of dress, and undress, running around the workshop in the background? No @tv101, you’re not. We didn’t get a lot of British tv as kids but we sure…   Read more»

Who wants to turn on noisy machinery and do some work when, instead, you could get comfortable on the soft furnishings, switch the coffee machine on, listen to some music, light some candles ……. That’s it @tv101, you’ve convinced me….   Read more»
