Agreed @Boo “You’re not paying me for the couple of hours I’ll spend painting that thing.  You’re paying me for years of experience I’ve earned, so that I can paint that thing how you want it painted” !! @tv101…   Read more»

I love a Runaway

Yeah @tv101. I remember “Cherry Bomb”……at the time I thought they were a Punk band. 
🙏🎸🙂🎶

Well the Kitchen is nearly done, moved onto the dining room now, all joined together so cant do one without the other.  @tv101 – Tea and biscuits is what we get at work if we’ve screwed up! Here’s a pic our…   Read more»

@tv101 Yeah I understand completely, online disinhibition is real alright and it does cause endless trouble. In this forum, I think we have grasped the fundamentals of each of our personalities and I think we all have quite a good…   Read more»

@tv101 and everyone, don’t ever stop larking about and having the crack (again, this means having a laugh), it’s what binds us all together. The world needs laughter, especially in times like these. 😁😂🤣👍

I was aiming for humour, not rudeness. Perhaps it’s time for me to stop making non-guitar-related comments.  It’s too easy to misconstrue meaning in on-line comms when you get into “other” topics. @tv101 Oh for goodness sake, don’t be daft,…   Read more»

@tv101
Ahh got it, thanks.
Funnily enough one of the best girlfriends I ever had was from Charleston, SC so it must at least be better than Lancashire. 😆

1 hit, and 2 sympathy buys 😉 @tv101 Yeah I hear you. I‘m not a big Boston fan but that first album was YUGE when I was a kid so it’s ingrained in me and for the most part I…   Read more»

I know, I’ve got 2 of them, but still … “1 hit wonder”

@tv101
C’mon man, they were at least a 3 hit wonder! 😆

Now, that is a guitar to admire!!!

@tv101  Your first Bandsman build truly is the most special one.

You couldn’t pay me enough to do that job.  Poor man.  I don’t envy the  Royals at all.

@tv101 I agree totally. I’m not a royalist, certainly not in light of recent events. I won’t comment further. 

Do you live in a castle @tv101.

@russ I think @tv101 lives in a palace, he is Prince Charles in disguise 🥸 

Once that’s done, spring will have sprung, and the garden will be taking a load of time ….. @tv101 Indeed, I’ve already had people ringing me up, booking me for the new gardening season. It’s a good thing but it…   Read more»

To give an idea of the work involved, that included 15 doorways.

Do you live in a castle @tv101. 😂🤣 
🎶🎸🙏🙂

@tv101 and @deej Thanks. I experimented and it didn’t work so it’s only right that I pass that knowledge on so others won’t (maybe 🤣) make the same mistake. I have avoided spraying maple fretboards because of the frets, I was…   Read more»

Have you got an exit plan @deej?  I think we know what @Boo’s is! I’m defo considering it @TV101 and yes I have a plan…unfortunately my liver won’t take it! Recent events have really made me think if I should…   Read more»

TBH, I’m a bit disenchanted with the whole business/work thing. It’s where I’m at @TV101 @deej and @tv101 #meToo I’ve got too used to not going out to work (it’s been about 16 months now), building guitars is all I…   Read more»

TBH, I’m a bit disenchanted with the whole business/work thing.

It’s where I’m at @TV101

Looks easy enough to wire into a guitar (just put it between the hot/earth and output jack).  The circuit board is small enough – just needs space in the cavity for the 9v battery. @tv101 cheers for that. You’ll have…   Read more»

@tv101 Sounds like a nice idea. I did see them live once (sans Roger of course) at the Oakland Coliseum on The Division Bell tour. To say that it was one of the most amazing shows that I’ve ever seen…   Read more»
