@tv101 I would like to say we missed you but ,,,,,,,,,
@tv101 The 2 dots wouldn’t be level with the fretboard would they. Flat would be no good. I’ve been on the Dolly Parton tour bus by the way, just t...
@koendb Excellent result, you are gaining confidence in your own ability which is going to move you up to another level of building. It looks like you...
@koendb I would clamp a straight edge on and use a sharp knife to get a clean edge line. If you taper the patch slightly from to to bottom, you can ...
@jamesbisset James sorry we missed you. I think it will take a few weeks for the video calls to become a regular thing. Catch you on Thursday maybe...
