@peebee Yeah it can make it easier but I like it when I get a bit of artistic licence too. If you look at this one on paper, it looks simple but there...

@mattbeels Yeah I’ve thought about it but 2k filler doesn’t shrink and I’ve seen someone else use it in the same way. This is the cool thing about exp...

@cheesewhisk Nice job with the design and drawing, it’s a build I want to do at some point too, it’s a shape I’ve always loved.

@mattbeels You did read correctly, I will not be having a neck pickup or a cover. I do have another trick up my sleeve, an experiment. I plan to get t...

@mattbeels 🤣 Hardly big time. 🤣 Yeah I forgot to mention that this one is for myself, it’s a practice run (a prototype) before I make one for my cu...

@mattbeels You are correct, Axminster are a great company and have superb tools and materials, very good quality.

@forcesterbill Thanks for the second opinion Bill, much appreciated. 👍

@mattbeels This saves me a job, thanks Matt. 👍

@peebee Exciting times eh? I always take my time and do a lot of thinking before I do anything. Think twice (more really), do once! Ive started to ...

@robin That’s what I’m counting on Robin, it sounds like my idyllic place. I like to live life at a slow pace. For years we toyed with the idea of liv...

@robin If Scotland get independence, they will have to call it SST (Scottish Standard Time). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Or..... SFT (Scottish Freedom Time) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@lizard You are not alone in that man, I do it too, we all do. That timber looks amazing, I wish I had such easy access to a yard like that. We have s...

Cool. 😎 Can we talk about kill switches? 🤘😁🤘🎸

@mattbeels Thanks Matt, I didn’t know such a thing existed, I’ll store that info away for next time. This is my first kill switch project so it is fun...
