Naz, I think that's because it isn't an exact book-match. If you look it over you can see the grain doesn't repeat on both sides; probably two separate pieces matched as best possible; although they could have done a better job of lining up; but then I don't have OCD, thankfully. Either way...

I can sing well, (At least better than Macca!) I just don't bother; no one would want to listen. Besides why sing when I can play a guitar! :lol: :lol: :lol: Right! I am off to surf for some more tools I won't buy 'cos I can't use them any more! 8)

Yes it is indeed. If I sell a few power tools I might be able to fund the purchase. The 'short scale-length' would suit me fine. I think the figure is known as 'Quilted Maple' BTW. Regards John

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-Byrdla ... SwU9xUS9KR I know this isn't a 'Uke', but just look at the grain, on the back of this Gibson... I am trying to resist buying this guitar, and it's getting more and more difficult to do so! 8)

Apparently, Lennon boasted he could write a nonsense song, and it would still sell; so he proved it with 'Yellow Submarine'. I think it was a remark which in sentiment was akin to 'We're more popular than Jesus'. Also Macca recently proved he can't sing, trying to record 'My One And Only...

The Beatles 8) Mind you, I haven't ever heard of most of the aforementioned groups, and the Beatles were the only band I could think of. Oh! Wait! Duran-Duran drove me crazy when my daughter was a teenager! :lol:

Sadly I am having to call it a day for heavy, serious woodwork. I am having great difficulty in caring for my wife, who has Parkinson's disease as well as suspect Alzheimer's. My own health is also borderline, as a type 2 diabetic, frantically trying to lose weight. So enough of my...

Doc told me to continue eating the right foods and I would keep losing weight steadily. I might even get my blood pressure down, and banish high blood sugar. Only problem is since when are Wheaties, porridge, spuds and pasta the right foods for diabetics? My weight is falling, and I am getting...

I would think the amount of work needed to make the Sellers bench is worth the effort for what you end up with. I don't like aprons on my workbench, and I prefer a laminated, thicker top. However, the Sellers bench, properly made, would last any hobbyist a lifetime. Another plus is, if ever you...

If you look around for a decent supplier, you could use ash; at least what's left of the ash, before it's all gone. It's reasonably stable, it takes a hammering, and it's not too difficult to work with. http://www.sykestimber.co.uk/timber/european-ash.html I'm not suggesting you use Sykes, as...

Aye Bob. I grant you that. But I like floorboards. I also agree with you. Chipboard is just about fit for walking on! :lol: :lol: :lol: Point taken re the 45 years time-warp though! I'll use it in my new shed! Cheers John

Yorkie, That's much the same as my loft space was when I moved in to my drum. I enlarged the loft hatch, by reinforcing the rafters., and then cutting away the plasterboard and sections of rafter to enlarge the hole. I trimmed it, and boarded out with floorboards. I bought a loft-ladder...

NP Paddy :)

Paddy Roxburgh Please go to page 104 of this thread and read my post there, about immigration. I defended Hiemlaga and Phil.p because I am not naive, and I do appreciate bad eggs can be found in any basket. I had no reason to disbelieve those two members, so I expressed how I felt, regardless...

FOR JACOB. Here you are Jacob. A history link you might find interesting, unless as I imagine you already knew about it. I heard about it on a visit to Cromford. some years ago http://www.allaboutlean.com/industrial- ... evolution/ Arkwright wasn't the only one then! :D

Okay Jacob. You live in a fairly large town and a civilised part of the country, so if I upset you by having a go at your corner of England I apolgise. Your area is one of the most beautiful areas of the UK of course, but topography and geology aside, you can't really know the social problems...

For Pete's sake Jacob. You live and work all day in a dusty little hamlet, soaking up the peace and quiet. When you're not doing that you are escaping the 'lunacy' in your allotment. Just like the hundreds of other country dwellers in the 1940s, out of touch with reality, reading some...

Wuffles My post was connected with this one, but for some reason I neglected to actually 'quote' it with my post. Also I happen to agree that the vermin are starting to emerge from their sewers, but it has to be left to the law o sort them out. Lets hope it an be sorted before the bottles and...

Wuffles. You are entitled to your opinion, but I would be obliged if you would stop accusing ALL BREXIT voters of racism. I voted 'leave' because I don't like being considered as 'nothing but a dog turd' by smug, arrogant toads like Junker & Co. Immigration didn't enter into my reckoning...

the QA! That takes me back to the fifties. :wink: 8)
