Thankfully my office was free of restrictions apart from no plonkers. @rocknroller912 No plonkers 😂😂😂😂 Sounds like an interesting job though. I bet the hardest part...

@boo Ive also got a clever friend who is an industrial chemist, 3 degrees I think he’s forming a band soon.

@boo Not exactly I worked in a place where explosive hazards were present so you had to know all the stuff that was dangerous. What is liable to cause a hazard and what can set it off. Work could be ...

it could just be a “hobby” - might be better not to ask too much detail. @tv101 I wasn’t planning on asking for detail. I know better not to ask military personnel for details, I wouldn’t put anyone ...

I was thinking about this only today, is shielding paint necessary/ advised?

@cheesewhisk Yes it’s pretty much standard in quality guitars these days and Mark uses the Stew Mac brand. A while ago there was a discussion on the live stream about finding cheaper alternatives to b...

Ahh. The plan unfolds @boo. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

OK, here we go. I still need to route it flush with the top but I made a routing template for the wooden plate that I’ll bond and pin in to cover the neck joint. I’ll then use more high build primer t...

@russ Sharon is great I listen to her a bit as well. She posts on Facebook and reads all the comments that people make, during lockdown anyway. She even replies sometimes. Last year she did a challeng...

It doesn’t matter where we are all from, so long as we are all having fun here. The world needs love right now because people like Plump (and others) are trying to divide us with hate. We are all diff...
