Thank goodness for the live streams at least there's still life in the Bailey world That’s how it’s been for me too @rocknroller912. Carol probably thinks I’ve been joking when I’ve commented that t...

I think our government are finally pulling their finger out, only 12 months late. I believe that all the logistics behind vaccine distribution is being run by the military. Want a job doing properly...

Pictures to follow in the next week or so but if anyone is interested please let me know as, if there is interest, I might run a small batch of them to help reduce costs. I don’t need any kind of firm...

So, what, @Boo - are you suggesting that Carol takes *all* the blame herself? Not very gentlemanly ... hope she doesn't see this thread ...

Well, I'm certainly older (and a lot less firm) than I used to be @Boo - but the schedule still said end-April for my jab - ie I'm not collecting my pension for a while yet! I'm guessing it's linked t...

Do what makes you happy you must. The main time drag has been a decorating project that my wife "suggested". Hall, stairs and landing. It was a *big* job. But that's now done, the weather's gettin...

Rather happy to have received a (bona fide) text from my GP surgery a couple of hours ago, inviting me to make a vaccination appointment. 😊 Jab #1 next Tuesday. 👍 👍 👍 ...

Hi Brad I'll add my (slightly belated) welcome too - always good to have another member on here posting pics of their builds. I'm always envious of the timbers that seem to be available in the US th...

Until I get a bigger hut organised, then the little hut becomes timber to make a workbench and shelves. I like your planning!!

I’m slowly coming back to painting and I’m not limiting myself to guitar bodies. I’m looking at motorbike helmets, petrol tanks, even shoes and trainers. If it's OK with you @Boo, I'll leave the petr...

#faileyguitars (and @boo got the credit, wtf!) to be fair, that was more due to Carol's "speed reading" than Boo's fault 😉 Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame??? 😆

There was a tiny flaw in the body blank and I'd positioned the body shape on the blank so that I would remove this little blemish with the belly carve, or so I thought. The deeper I carved, the bigger...

. Gets top marks from me. Anyone who takes the time and trouble to make the back look good like that gets my vote. I *hate* using cheap bits of black plastic as cavity covers!!

I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. @Robin - have you got a link to that? (Sorry for all the individual posts btw - I'm catching up on your thread, and posting replies as I get to ...

Simple temporary jig but effective. It will wear out eventually. Just simply make another. Just make scraps are square to start. Ingenuity 👍

I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Rubbish @Robin - you've carved an easy-access neck joint heel there - great design improvement ...

@markbailey you did say and bench right? Just don't treat the top as "sacrificial" like Mark does with his bench tops @osceola 😉

Once the nuts, washers and especially the knobs are on, no one will ever see it. Exactly as @mattbeels and @frocesterbill have said earlier. A 1mm difference in diameter is just 0.5mm either side of...

My drill bit decided not to properly follow the brad mark Are you using a pillar drill for the holes @rockpile99, or a standard handheld? To avoid risk of recurrence, you can make a complete headstoc...

I don't have any exposed corners on my bench due to it being built in with shelves. So I've bolted a beam where my big engineering vice used to be, perfect for clamping to. Nice workspace extension @...
