Merry Christmas to me, can't open it until the big day though! @peebee Nice! 🤘

Had a go at a belly carve today on a scrap wood tele body that I have made as practice. Turned out pretty well, draw two lines, make two facets and join em up...simples. I will add a picture tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to me, can't open it until the big day though! Thanks Mark and Carol for getting this posted out nice and quickly, excellent service. Attachment : 20201216_123942.jpg

A couple of little jobs done today. First swapped my bandsaw blade as it was blunt. Made the headstock thickness jig, nice and simple that one and three sanding blocks made from some mdf. I think that...

@peebee Have a look at my video for the Wilkinson wraparound bridge and double check your drawing.

I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. @rocknroller912 I haven’t actually made any or experimented with making any but I have looked into it before. It is all inexpens...

. I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. I've got an ancient tin of Galvafroid paint, I painted some on a peice of wood as a test, but it wasn't conductive.

I bought some from Cat Music on eBay - seems to work - once applied and burnished it has a metallic sheen - conducts well - it was quite expensive for the volume but as I didn’t need a large quantity ...

During the summer Mark was shielding control cavities and asked if there is an alternative to the Stew Mac paint from America. Discussed this with my chemist friend yesterday and he suggested using gr...

Those encounters with John, alk those years ago, sewed the seed for wanting to make guitars. @eddie6string That’s an interesting story Eddie, love it. It’s always a shame to hear about people with m...

Michael Schenker had mental health issues along with other related horrors, to contend with - on one occasion he was so excited to be joining the Scorpions on stage, that he smashed his favourite Flyi...

But once they did that Wind of Change song, I tuned out... @mattbeels You can’t beat a good ballad Matt, I love “Wind of Change”, it coming again, can you feel it? 😁

I’ve always been into Scorpions. Rudy Schenker is a great rhythm player and always wrote cool sounding, melodic riffs. Matthias Jabs is a great, underrated lead player. Hard to stand out after followi...

My First concert was The Scorpions at Glasgow Apollo on 17th May 1980. Tygers of Pan Tang were the support. Hearing hasn't been the same since. The Apollo has been long gone but it was the start of a ...

Darrell Way came up to me when we got off stage at a local festival here in Devon, about 8yrs ago. He was very complimentary about the band and he listened enthusiastically as I told him about 'The Ho...

First professionally promoted concert (As opposed to the plethora of very good local bands, who commanded a reasonable ticket price), was Rainbow Birmingham Odeon 1976. My ears wrang for days! Got to ...

That Chicago concert really stood out as it was the first time I smelled weed and a bit of an eye opener as we saw a couple having sex under a blanket, it must have been weird for my Dad as well as he...

As far as I can remember I was probably around 10 and my Dad took us to see his favorite band Chicago at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, Mi. I guess they could be considered rock back then but it was defi...
