@steveadams The templates hanging on the wall make it look like a real guitar makers workshop, if you didn’t do sound no one would know the differen...
@tv101 When banjo players walk into an Irish music session al the eyes start to roll especially if it has a resonator
Yes I think you do need to do that so that the ends can be banged in first then the middle. I was watching Mark’s video again the other day and the en...
@darrenking You have my email address so let’s start spoofing, if you have any ideas let me know. I’ve got one forming.

@lemonshoes I think if you installed binding on a non radius fretboard and then tried to radius it the binding would probably get damaged. For insta...
Glad to see that you will be back soon. Watch out for Mark & Carol the video game, it’s under discussion.
@rockpile99 Thats a nice looking build
@boo Thanks for sharing the video it’s brilliant. It’s on another level to what was thinking and I can imagine it would cost a lot to make.
@robin Top prize would be to reach the Carol Cam
