Handsome. I don't think anyone would criticise you for that. Plus, when you get it back you may learn enough from it to tackle the job on your next build.

Mmmm. There's some nice grain in that chair's legs too. Does Mrs AJR have an full inventory of the furniture in the house or could it one day just simply... disappear?

Great choice to go with the black binding. I like that a lot.

Welcome ADV from Abq. Hot dog! Is that the "Albert Querky" that Prefab Sprout made famous?

Welcome D.A. Now we know who to take our case to when things get out of hand in Gotham.

Welcome Attie.

Welcome CB, albeit belatedly. Good of you to introduce yourself. I wish you well with your recovery.

Welcome Sherak.

That's not bad looking (for a guitar).

^What he said^

Let me guess; In the tradition of Blue Peter, you started one a couple of days ago and you've now done a switch with the words (all together now); Here's one I did (thirty years) earlier? It's not my thing but I can see it stands up well against some I have seen. I'm looking forward to the fully assembled project.

I don't see how.. I mean, have you ever tried to catch a hipster in a butterfly net? It usually takes several attempts. They're a bit like squirrels - the beard acts like a decoy in the same way that a squirrel tail does. Fly paper doesn't really work with hipsters though, I agree.

Welcome Bogdan.

Beats pulling the wings off of house flies when you're bored.

Love in an Elevator? Going down...

Murder is the most PC of crimes it seems, Persephone.

You should've taken up tap dancing. You'd only have had a short drop until you hit the wash basin.

There's hope for a Rolf Harris comeback yet.

Since you are a cabinet maker, I thought you might enjoy this cabinet... Heeheehee. Am I forgiven?

Yup. Basschat was a much needed shot in the arm for this lapsed bassist when I joined three years ago. Thirty years without a gig had made me complacent and I wasn't engaging with the instrument very well when I came back to it in my fifties. Great topic. I'm looking forward to checking out the recommendations.

I saw that one as well. 1967. What a year! I recall bitter disappointment however. In the weeks leading up to the first colour broadcast we had been getting regular announcements before and after my favourite programs of the time - Tomorrow's World, Star Trek and Mission Impossible. I believed Aunty Beeb when her minions announced matter of factly that we would see next week's episodes in full and glorious colour. They didn't tell this five year old that Dad would have to buy a colour telly! Bar Stewards. Heeheehee.

She of whom Pink Floyd wrote: At boarding school we had a resident nun who taught history and was in charge of the infirmary. She was of a similar hard-faced puritan attitude. She was very small but VERY scary. She kept an entire boys-only secondary school in fear for their very souls. Impressive in hindsight but I wouldn't want to live it again.

I have to agree strongly with this. I was one of the kids who sat with family watching Black and White telly when there were three channels, all terrestrial. I think it might even have been pre 625 broadcasts (405) and certainly before the BBC announced that they were going to turn the colour on for the first time. We LOVED Rolf Harris and Jimmy Saville. A lot of my generation have now got a foul taste on our palates post disclosure. That is all.

Nah it's just a jazz version of a rock and roll middle eight mate.
