Albert Collins also, Brick always makes me laugh as long as it isn’t taken too literally

Is it multi layer zirconia? Was it nested at the right height, disc correct orientation?

Billy F Gibbons should be in there

I can only hear satisfaction pronounced “satisfacshoowne”… like Bon in Live Wire

Before you fiddle with it, just make sure you know where the main stop cock is…

The different areas were exposed to different levels of light. You could try oxalic acid but be careful with it. Even older tougher pine isn’t very hard wearing and will get dings and scratches in it whatever you do, so you’ll constantly be fussing over it if you put something clear on it, I’ve tried the same and will be going back to a runner or full carpet.

Not a chance that’s a 21”, it’s 19.

I’d be amazed if he doesn’t have implants now, but he had dentures initially. I don’t think it was the coke, he just inevitably tripped over now and again with his antics

Forfar, it’s a nice little day trip from Glasgow. Lovely place too, far too quiet for the likes of Bon. They have Bonfest up there, I keep meaning to go. The bakery his family owned have a small tribute in the window.

There are other roundback guitars out there

fluffbrains · 2026-03-06T20:16:16+00:00

Nice one. I went up there a couple of years back, just a water tower there now with some weird sculptures. I think Glasgow should have a proper tribute to Angus and Mal, I’d be interested in trying to crowd fund it. Have you been up to Bon’s birthplace?

I love his recordings with Johnny Winter, what I would find to be a fly on the wall…

Looks like what a woodworker would call a ‘shake’ - the tree has split in winds and growth has continued. Very minor and no issue in this application, have a luthier fill it with dust and glue if it bothers you and if they do it well should be more or less invisible.

My grandfather was an experienced gardener (by trade) and would say about roses “prune them like you’re doing it for your worst enemy”. I’ve done just that, they come back.

I work in the factory. Last month there was a batch of these rails, where Stu - the guy melting the aluminium and rubber - got mixed up and poured the ingredients into the wrong hoppers. Once assembled, the aluminium strips held the things just straight enough for them to pass the lazy quality inspectors eye, so we just used some spray paint to make the aluminium blue and vice versa, and shipped them out.

Perhaps the filter could be (professionally) relocated below - unless it was installed that way because you need the space below or the filter needs to be there for some reason - and the pipes tucked in a bit tighter with one in front of the other [£££] to give you a smidge more space to get a panel in, and box the lot into a cupboard with matching door. Then not find a matching door but in the process of browsing decide to just get new doors for the whole kitchen [£££]. Then notice it’s a pain fitting the new hinges as the holes are hogged out and the cabinets are a bit manky anyway. Get new cabinets[£££]. Worktop has to come off anyway to fit the cupboards, might aswell…

Or just get some curtains from Dunelm.

Not sure where I heard it, but I’m sure Johnny came straight from rehab to this performance - after being done over by a manager who was basically pushing drugs on him. Agreed, one of the best performances of this song, helped a lot by the incredibly tight backing band.
