If only someone had a surgical truss handy...

Anyway... OT: Some volutes are bigger than others.

Priceless.

As OP, you are entirely within your rights to hold your hands up to the mods and respectfully ask their forgiveness for taking the weewee. I'm quite sure they'll lock it if you ask them nicely.

Dr Mondeaux too I hope. Try not to eviscerate the ophthalmologist before he's done, even if your sight does improve enough to do so.

Not the body... no. Has anyone seen @Raymondo lately?

Shhh! Andy's going to be back any minute and we'll all get lines if he catches us out of our seats mucking about.

Do you reckon Bob's head would look like Ben's if you shaved off the afro?

Lovely. I have some of my Grandad's stuff. One of my favourite things in the workshop is his pocket knife. He always seemed to have it on him. Seemingly on a whim, he would get it out and prune the raspberries, roses or owt else that needed a sharp knife. He'd have it back in his pocket by the time you'd realised what he was up to.

I'm liking what appears to be a seal around the cavity edge. Is that right?

Apart from Vinnie, Michael's about the only one there that I liked. I stopped watching after Vinnie left.

Silent Movies are back! Hooray! I really enjoyed that.

I don't mind you lot relentlessly extracting the Michael either. Not that anyone asked.

I do too. You have to admit though, he's a bit of a middle class fashion hero. It's a good thing I can see past that as he has taught me a few things I would not have known otherwise.

Entrapment.

Why are you trying to distract me for 25 minutes? What are you up to? Heeheehee. This chap cracks me up. @Ben of Crimson Custom Guitars; If you're watching - Sorry. I do appreciate your work, it's just difficult not to think of the sketch below while watching your clips.

Put two volutes on it!

I'd say it's a brave experiment but one you've got to try to find out. If it works it would make Gibson look daft(er). @BassTool, I'm sure I don't know what you mean... Heeheehee

You got off lightly lad. Elsewhere folk have been lynch mobbed by bedroom bassists with an overdeveloped sense of self-entitlement for saying as much.

It's not a well defined area seemingly. Generally though, shorties are more popular than ever.

One of those would make a great turntable stand though. If you like the smell of creosote.

Fair enough.

The term Barncaster reflects the shape of the instrument. I'm wondering what the general term is for the style where recycled (and flawed) timber is used in a variety of body shapes. If it is a thing that is. I agree with @stewblack that it isn't relicing in the strictest sense.
