RE: New Workshop

The front, back and roof of the old 6'x4' hut will be moving to the caravan though. They'll be getting resized to fill the 3' gap between my two huts that are there and that'll let me clear some worki...

RE: Need some inspiration.

@Robin That would be fairly easy to do, but I'm not sure it'd be worthwhile. Easy to do using something like a JamJar kit (see I got one of those last years and built it, with a small (4") speaker,...

RE: Need some inspiration.

Thinking some more ... I think I've got some heavyish Ash in the workshop, so I could chamber that to make it usable (ie suitable weight). I've also got quite a few caps, including some that came fro...

RE: 🎶🎸 Your Favourite Song In This Moment 🎸🎶

I did and I didn't. Never heard of this band nor this song. Probably a bit of a UK thing @Marcel - and a pretty small UK thing too. Not sure they ever had any significant chart-type popularity. They...

RE: 🎶🎸 Your Favourite Song In This Moment 🎸🎶

This probably has more meaning if you lived through the mid-70s and played a cover of this in a school band ... Still a great tune even if you didn't and didn't.

RE: Part 2 of my acosutic kit unboxing

You sound just a little - errrr - excited ?? 😆 And reasonably happy with the quality of the materials ... What made you decide to have a go yourself, rather than doing an acoustic build work...
