@e-den-hertog Thanks, I will visit your country one day. I understand your feelings about Amsterdam, I feel the same way about Blackpool.

@tv101 I agree with you entirely Tony, pretentious guitar snobs are full of it! I think it’s all absolute nonsense and at the end of the day, does it ...

@darrenking Thank you very much for this information, I really appreciate it. And....... YES PLEASE! I would love to try a laminate guitar build. I am...

@e-den-hertog That’s somewhere else I’ve never been but would love to one day. Actually I haven’t left the British isles for over 39 years, that’s pro...

@clinton I think you have the best deal as far as accommodation is concerned. I have never been to Hawaii but it sure does look amazing.

There are now a few joists missing too! 🤣

@tv101 I wish! Unfortunately it’s one of those new fangled, bullet-proof composite front doors, could be a bit heavy for guitar making and a bugger to...

@jamesbisset 🤣

I have no money right now but my guitar building habit must be satisfied. I am eyeing up other bits of the house as we speak! I’ll continue this conve...

This is the best I can do right now. An old mahogany (I think) window sill, 18mm thick.

@darrenking I think that quilted stuff is unbelievably beautiful and I agree, I would only ever buy it for caps. It’s just ridiculous to consider havi...

@darrenking That is why I can’t consider using expensive wood like that for the foreseeable future, the cost is out of my price range now, too much de...
