I've got to finish a a 7-string fretless guitar, a 6-string bass, a Les Paul clone, rewire a Jackson, install some new pickups and I also need to sell/bin enough stuff to make space for a 16" P/T.
b*ll*cks to christmas shopping, the internet and a helpful sister eases that burden.

Well, I reckon that when the carol singers come knocking on your doors, you'll probably do an Alf Garnet.......Just hope the vicar isn't with them  ;D ;D ;D Cheers  Paul |

Jason, Dom - HOW can you put so much pressure on yourself this time of the year?  ? 1st December = apply brakes on all work, go to Makro and stock up beer to last till end January. Shopping - give 'em cash. ;D ;D ;D |

Ive got.....
Four mdf cabinets on wheels, 9 quality doors to hang, a set of stairs (winder section only) to make and fit, a reception desk in ash for a large company.
A built in to fit (finished the build yesterday) into a 16th century manor house, so you know that will be a day of scribing, oh joy.
and a gate.....
Can see it all happening, so which ones to push into the new year I wonder.
Why does everybody want before Christmas, after all its only a couple of days and then its back to work as usual.
