This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... just heard it on the radio......takes me back... TOTAL CLASSIC @Russ ... takes me back ... ahhhhh ... those were the days (etc)! I know it crappy poppy ...

That'll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you've routed there. 😆 @robin!

That is a *very* neat way of doing it. Neat, and precise. It's like a proper engineering solution! I guess the problem is "drill bit wander" - ie the bits don't drill through perfectly perpendicular...

@mattbeels I believe it would be “glittery as feck!” I believe you are correct!!!

I'm not going to add anything critical at all - if I ignore the dotted line of the "original" and just focus on your drawing in isolation, it all looks A-OK to me. And bonus points for using a proper ...

@everyone As the guys said on today's stream, adding comments to YT (which you can only do after the stream has completed) really helps them with the YT algorithm, and getting better rankings for Mark...

@jonhodgson - you & me both (buying it). I'd registered a few months ago (his website, IIRC) to be informed when it's released. From all that I'd heard, his contributions to the book were done, ...

that was one of the most terrifying livestreams so far... I was hiding behind the sofa for part of it. 😉 Tackling a job like that, LIVE, takes some balls. Getting it all perfectly right, in a...

Is there any information on what happened? I believe it was cancer. He'd been struggling for a while, but had hoped to see the 3rd edition of his book finished and published. Sadly, he didn't make it...

The Glitterball will be ready for polishing in a couple of weeks or so, I’ve got a lot of painting and sanding to do before then. I would be happy do some test polishing on other guitars if you want m...

Clever man.
