    I used 120 grit wet and dry to knock the colour down and get a decent contrast going. Will be interesting to see how other colours look when mixed in..

    Also sanded the three dark colours down from the first batch ready for a second colour to see what happens…
  3. Bridgehouse
    Got bored. Did other colours. Dark out so can only take shot inside…

    So, that's set one of the raw colours. More to come and then we will start to look at combining colours!

    And here they are inside under artificial lighting:

    Here's all of them labelled up in the (slightly failing) outside light:

    And finally Crimson:

    Then Yellow:

    Black. Now, I suspect Black will need a stronger concentration as the same number of drops gave a washed out look, but still pretty nice:

    Interestingly the colours do play off each other quite well:

    I then managed to get a few more done before timing out for today. Next came Green:

    So, 10 drops sounds about right per 100ml. Switched to 50ml batches and 5 drops. And first up is that Phthalo Blue pictured wet, and then dry:

    Ok, this might take a while... Shots arrived. Tried the Phthalo Blue first. First job was to see what sort of dilution was needed. Used 100ml of water and using the droppers did 3 drops, then 6 drops, then 9 drops:

    Front and back.

    No, that debate was ended when it was concluded that trouser flapping wasn't as prevalent nowadays due to lack of flares compared to the 70's rather than due to any amp technology at all..

    Ey up! Nice to see you've found your way over! You'll find a lot of suggestions for basses for the smaller-handed gentleman..
  17. Bridgehouse
    I'd certainly say that's a big part of it...
  18. Bridgehouse
    That's what you want. Bit of grovelling and then a new lead posted to correct the situation - I'd call that excellent service.

    Bolted on by B&Q's finest by the looks of it...

    You've overheard Mrs B describing me then...
  21. Bridgehouse
    I may start without for general consumption, and then add in some creamy plastic for those of a specialist disposition

    Oh, and stains are due for delivery tomorrow, so best make sure you've got plenty of popcorn on the go and I'd have at least a couple of loo breaks as well...
  23. Bridgehouse
    That's okay. I'm partly doing the offcuts staining for my own benefit, and partly as a bit of BC community service to see what happens!

    I certainly don't want to be regularly trying to get it into the car. The neighbours are a reasonable distance away, but I suspect the missus might have something to say about me using it at home regularly (not that I'd be able to hear a word she was saying...)

    I suspect the potential market is actually limited to those with the backs and stamina to cope with it, those who have very tolerant neighbours, and those who have a vehicle suitably sized to cope with the beast!
