Really interesting, could you tell us a bit about the acoustic design? One of the best acoustic improvements I made to my stereo was when I put my elliptical shelves on the wall behind my settee and opposite my speakers. I assumed it was because they diffused the sound waves. Edit - just...

It’s wood that you drop on your toe!

I’ve started a conversation (whatever that means :D)

Sorry Droogs, I thought twice before posting for this reason, but thought the historical and woodworking interest was important to share. What are you going to do with all that tin anyway?:unsure:

12 grit is a bit coarse, maybe 120 grit? 😂

Definitely need to switch that cross grained control panel 😉 Been ages since I read a build thread on a guitar. It’s how I started getting interested in woodwork; reading AJCoholic‘s threads over on Harmony Central EG years back (haven’t been on there for years either). Might get myself...

It would be nice to see some more photos of this. Control cavity on the back? Pickups look interesting too

I can report that it works a charm too. I’m really pleased with it.

I’ve never been number 1 at anything before. I shall retire now 😂

I love crusty bread , but the crumbs go everywhere when I cut it, so I decided to make a breadboard that catches the crumbs as I cut the bread. Beech with a beech faced ply base. The grid is jointed using half lap joints. The grid lifts out for emptying the crumbs.

Looks great, reminded me of the longship sculpture from the harbour in Reykjavik.

Decathlon have a good reputation for well specced bikes. If you are riding on the road I’d avoid suspension, unless you are particularly...erm...how to say this delicately...prone to gravitational effects. Wider tyres (e.g. 30mm) on a road bike will make for a more comfortable ride without...

That’s pretty much the set up I have now...

Yes, 10x magnification is usually the upper limit for hand held binoculars. Beyond that you really need some sort of tripod. For decent optics most people go for a spotting telescope anywhere up to 60x magnification. The lower the second number, the dimmer the image, so 60x80 will usually be...

Plough a narrow groove at right angles. Remove the bottom of the groove with a chisel to give a triangle section groove, then shape the base of the tray to fit the groove.

Because they want the kids to get it. The delay part is for those groups that might require hospitalisation, young people get mild symptoms and they are relying on those that have had the virus being immune to reinfection. As a teacher, I’m on the front line of this as I will be surrounded by...

Bloody hell that sounds like a crap job. There was a programme about quantum entanglement on bbc 4 last night where they said planning an optimised route around 30 addresses was beyond normal computers and would require a quantum computer to check all of the permutations. So I’m guessing you...

And David Gedge, frontman of awesome indie powerhouses The Wedding Present

That’s a great article, thanks Novocain. I still have a couple of Accles and Pollocks pencils and a book of matches somewhere.
