fleabag

I guess i just dont like waste. In the end, what i ordered from Jabbs link is about the best for price and wastage. So, happy days ! Things left to do - sand the areas where screw heads are sunken and filled with PVA and sawdust, and then re- Tuff cab, ( 4 panels to do where the baffle sits ) Fit corner and edge strip protection, cut and screw and seal grill battens, cut grill to size and spray paint, fit driver, make grill badge Still a bit to do

Thanks Stevie - i mulled that over in my head about the wadding, but then if you read the mighty wadding in cabs thread, there's a 50-50 debate about it. There didn't seem to be a definitive answer

Apparently so Rik Mayall also did that in one of the Comic Strip stories - Beat Generation IIRC

Bah humbug - who cares. Ordered - about £11 + shrapnel. Bargain - ta Jabb

Blimey Jab - that last one is cheap. Cheers Is 1.5mm thick enough to offer some protection ?

Now that i know what to google ( extrusion, thanks guys ) i found these on ebay. 20x20 x 1000mm Now my maths is howibbly howibbly bad ...so can someone work out how many lengths i need to order ? I can get more than edge 1 out of each 1000mm strip ? Would Measurements 545mm x 4 strips / 460mm x 4 strips / 395mm x 4 strips ( that should be all 12 edges : ) And to add to the maths confusion - i found the same sellers with 2500mm strips, but they ramp the postage up. £10 for 2500mm. So now not sure whether to buy less strips of the longer stuff ( 2500mm ) or mores strips of the shorter stuff ( 1000mm ) And there's also the postage difference Check last post - the stuff in blue , 2500mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-20X20-mm-ANGLE-TRIM-1-METER-Gold-and-Silver/282218801567?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D48421%26meid%3Dd1d7d88780024d0baca9ee8e5978e0b6%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D232030527177%26itm%3D282218801567&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Oh goddammit. Maplin says no delivery on those strips, so find nearest store - which is Oxford ( close, about 12 miles ) and they dont have any. Nearest next store with stock is Mansfield , Notts. and they only have 1 strip ! Jeeez, people must be smoking 'em, eating 'em , making sheds, etc

Too late on that Richard - bought 8 large corners on Ebay - £3.99 delivered - but ta They're bigger though, than the Maplins ones, but exactly the same style

Blimey guv, that looks like a winner

Wickes Oak would be pricey at over £30 + del. The black plastic angle is probably the cheapest of the lot, but the cheeky oik's postage price is £10 for something that weighs the same as my bedroom slippers. This is a sort of scam where they're avoiding ebay fees by selling the item cheap, but ramping up the postage. Still, if it works out cheaper ...

I looked at your link, and yup, too expensive. I need approx 4800mm ( the 8 corner protectors take up some of the millimetres )

I think blokes like to exaggerate size. He thinks he has a biggun, but actually has a smallun.

It has an ironing board for a fretboard ?

Things not to do in a music shop........ Perhaps not light up a fat jazz ciggy next to the Ritters ?

More work done .. Speakons attached

Anyone know where i can get some protection strips ? Sort of like aluminium angle , say 25 x25 mm x 2 or 3mm and however long, but in plastic. Ally is too expensive I did the usual, check Blue Aran and various, but they only seem to supply corner protection, and i'm after angle strips for the edges between the corners. B&Q , Wickes, Screwfix - been to all of them, and its either ally, or white plastic. White is no good, terrible colour for external protection, but black isn't available Wood seems too expensive too. Not sure what the answer is, but shirley someone may have found something that'll do the job Any ideas peeps ?

Didn't it start with gitwrists always whacking out Stairway to Heaven , and the rest is history

Have to say it Higgie - that is a beast of a track. If any amatuer band deserved to make money from a cover, thats would be it, despite whether reality says otherwise Superb musicianship from everyone

DR should have called them Smaug strings. Then we could desolate them.

Tell him he's sacked
