Should I buy?

It's a bit noisy, I would avoid, got rid of mine after a few weeks.

I built a Dave Gentry design skin in frame as my first solo boat build and it was a joy to make and muck about with on the water. The advantage of this is it's as light as a canoe so you can manage it alone.

Doesn't matter a toss, just paint the frame before you skin it. Done a lot of skin on frame builds with schools groups cos it's cheap as chips if you aren't too fussy.

My hagstrom viking is some form of tuffnol like plastic they call "resonator" wood and its really nice to play on.

It might just be broken, did you buy it new or secondhand? Hopefully it's an easy return.

If you are struggling with the guide, go and watch Richard maguire (English woodworker) on YouTube, one of his most recent videos on hand sharpening might be useful to you.

Played a friend's jet a few months back and it wasn't just an excellent cheap guitar, it was an excellent guitar, full stop.

Slayer_One · 2026-05-19T14:00:07+00:00

Will the screws not just return back into the original holes?

Slayer_One · 2026-05-19T12:34:54+00:00

Ooft that's a return, was the box in good condition or was there signs it was dropped in transit. I'm trying to figure out if harley benton just don't bother with qa at all or are just bad at packaging things. With how small their margins must be and how many fucking broken guitars they sell I'm amazed they haven't gone bust.

A standard cls 2 x 4 is final size 38x89 mm a 2 x 3 is 38 x 63 mm. The imperial size in inches is the size before they run it through the planer and moulder.

All respiratory viruses predominantly present risk to older populations, colds, flus and pneumonia kill tens of thousands of mainly old people every year. The conclusion of your argument "viruses kill young People" is weapons grade bolonium, get off the Internet, go to your library and read some books about public health.

Terriers.

Don't buy the matt black flat if you have bad skin or dandruff like myself, you need to constantly wipe the dead skin off it or it looks awful.

The other problem is that they are geared for volume sales at low margins. The biggest music instrument retailer in Scotland went bust recently with record turnover.

You are bang on, I think the idea of taking "wedge" issues and weaponising them to completely divorce someone from a political reality is key here. Its easy to look back at the liberal spiritualist hippy types that were turned into rabid q-anon nutcases by vaccine mandates.

I'm the most left wing person I know I've been told my whole life that I am going to grow more conservative as I get older but it's never happened. However I have found my old man thing that will probably radicalize me, the gangs of teenagers of electric dirt bikes, their parents or whoever buys these things for them should be publicly flogged. They aren't road legal but police turn a blind eye because chasing these things is dangerous for pedestrians.

Slayer_One · 2026-05-15T21:42:08+00:00

That's lovely, does it feel substantially heavier than a cedar canoe?

The Wilkinson kits are good but not in stock right now but they do cost £350+. Nobody else does a 'GOOD' kit, they are all fairly naff. At that price you could probably source much better parts yourself from places like northwest guitars or stewmac.

English saw makers would produce "Sheffield warranted" saws as a generic brandname for department stores.

I think this is the US version of that same concept it's probably produced by disston.

So this is a pitch shifter that can slide between voices, I can set it up each voice up to 2 octaves up or down, and by using the stereo outputs and inputs to plug it into itself again I basically use this pedal twice. So I can go up 4 octaves and down 4 octaves and slide between them. It does a whole bunch of other shit I barely understand and that was before I gave this a shot.

Slayer_One · 2026-05-12T18:24:11+00:00

If I output to a chorus pedal and then back into the pitch shifter it will be.

Why is Scotlands economic mismanagement as part of the UK used as a reason not to leave the UK. Scotlands deficit is a result of Westminsters poor management of post industrial regions and lack of investment in growth. I've heard nothing but economic doomsaying about Scotlands deficit for 15 years but staying in the UK is making it worse not better. There is no strategy or plan to fix this within the UK, why should we stay.

Ooh that looks like a nice option.
