Applied some egg white as a pore filler today which has worked well to the back plate but not quite so well on the sides. Another egg required. ... free range I hope....?  Keith Yep ocarolan - Free range, brown with freckles |

Thanks R the F - moved on and almost there:   Let the lacquer harden now and then finish off buffing.  |

Couldn't wait - found an 'old/new' set of Rotosound 12's and had to try them -   Used the small brass tubes from the StewMac intonator to find the intonation points for these strings. Will do this again for the Elixir's when they arrive, may even now order some 12's rather than the 11's I normally use as the 12's seem very easy going - sound is great (even if I say so myself  ) |

Can I 'fess up here and now that I don't understand the intonation thing? I'm not sure what it is, nor how not doing it would affect the guitar. I accept that I'm a total eejit. Please don't hate me.

I've heard about you webcam warriors, francis. I put on a little show private show and the next thing I know it's "£5k or it goes on YouTube". I'm not falling for that again. |
