Wow, thanks. Really appreciate the offer, that's really generous, but i'm not especially short on cash atm and this hopefully wont be my last build, so i'm gonna buy one.
I just need to wait till i'm actually ready for it - the wife has no problem with me buying all the tools i need, but she gets very cross if i buy things too far in advance. I bought the top, body blank and the neck blank all together and got a big telling off :<
-"And what's this bit?"
+"that's for the neck"
-"And when are you going to start that bit?"
+"Umm.. in a month or two, maybe" [oh dear, i can see where this is going]
-"rah rah rah, anger anger"
