    My classical has an infinite radius board, but I am pretty sure @King Casey was gently poking fun at my typo.

    Yeah I think a 12 foot radius would be fairly flat eh?

    cheers Mark.

    Yay, my bottle of Zip thin CA arrived today so I should be able to get to work sealing the faux rosewood fretboard this weekend (once I find some latex gloves). I was really happy it arrived just a few days after ordering when all my other packages are taking forever. I got the 28g bottle so I should have enough for lots of projects.

    Ahh, I love those books. I actually thought that "it's turtles all the way down" was also from one of the Discworld books, but it seems not (or at least not originally):
    “William James, father of American psychology, tells of meeting an old lady who told him the Earth rested on the back of a huge turtle. "But, my dear lady", Professor James asked, as politely as possible, "what holds up the turtle?" "Ah", she said, "that's easy. He is standing on the back of another turtle." "Oh, I see", said Professor James, still being polite. "But would you be so good as to tell me what holds up the second turtle?" "It's no use, Professor", said the old lady, realizing he was trying to lead her into a logical trap. "It's turtles-turtles-turtles, all the way!”
    from here.

    I once deadpanned the following response to an LDS Missionary when he asked if I’d found God:
    ”Yes, But he didn’t realise he’d been lost, so we had coffee and a brief chat and agreed that I’d ignore him if he’d ignore me. Seems your branch didn’t get the memo?”
