You need to sort out your life and start making changes! :mrgreen:
I needed one and I'm sure as hell not paying 7.50 for one on eBay when I can spend a few hours making one. ;)

I'd probably put a bit of foam or rubber on the touch points though, I'm not precious over my guitars but over time you'll probably end up with marks on the touch points and it's easy to fix.
Yeah thanks, that ones not quite finished yet, I normally just cut up a bit of old inner tube. Helps stop it sliding off as well.

Serviced my lads Corsa and fixed a bust fog light, then dragged out the leaf sucker and hoovered up 3 big sacks of leaves from the bloody Ash tree.
Then realised chain needed adjusting on my Trumpet, so did that and also filled up the Scottoiler

Thats me done for the day bow.....

Accidentally, but somewhat successfully, did some shoplifting. :oops:
Picked up a phone card at the store while acquiring vittles. Put it on my shirt pocket, then forgot about it until I got home & discovered it. :shock:

Had to go back & pay for it anyway as it wasn't activated. Quite happy with my 90 day/$19.99 phone bill 8-)

My Stepmum died today and I had to break the news to my Dad. Not the best day ever.

Covid restrictions are making the funeral arrangements very difficult,I feel like I've spent the day wading through treacle.

Over here we rarely get above 60. It's a great off road car for the price, and not too bad generally. It wouldn't be my first choice as a road car. But for the price, we can bang it off road without worrying about all the scratches and dings. There's a lot LOL.

Scared to think about the resale value ;)

Condolences. It is hard breaking news to family. Lost a good mate yesterday to brain cancer.
