I just couldn’t resist. I got a few off-cuts of wooden, laminated worktop off my brother-in-law and I just had to make a body blank (I just needed a fix 😬). It’s thin stuff for a worktop (abou...

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Cheers James. Very much appreciated. If you need any specific details or measurements just let me know. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@russ cracking job buddy

Bloody hell Russ! That's just made my evening! I've been away from this forum and my shed for too long but this post has spurred me on beyond belief. Thank you for taking the time to post this and to...

It looks great. Experience and practice pays off!

@koendb Wow! Really impressing work and skills.

You've got me interested in looking a bit more into this @koendb. Cheers. 🎸🙏🎶🙂
