    Lol, I'm an old guy Warren. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagrams etc, and prefer to use real names where I can.

    Yeah I know, I'm a fossil. ;P

    all good Rob, I'm a massive fan of nicknames and rarely call my mates by their christian names

    Look forward to seeing how the sanding of the epoxy goes - you are going to have forearms like Popeye all the sanding you have already done on the fingerboard !
    By the way Rob, think I've asked you in the past, please tell us one of your nicknames ? haha surely you have a few !

    Do you actually know any of our real names, Woks?

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Still got the girlie arms mate. lol.

    But I am having a bit of trouble with my iPhone. I swear this is true. After all this hand sanding my thumb is starting to get a wee bit tender and more often than not my phone will refuse to recognize my thumb print as a pass key. I'm only about half way through sanding the FB and I still have several hours to spend on the rest of the neck and the bass body. By the time I'm finished I will need the FBI to break into my phone.

    The one nick that I used to use from ages ago is Westie07.
    Westie - because my little care is a Westfield
    07 - because it is a replica of a Lotus Super 7

    Darn, now my secret is out.

    cheers for letting the cat out of the bag Westie !

    looks similar to Dave Kings car he races,

    You will get there with the sanding mate, you have built what at least a dozen axes with no power tools and one a scratchy !

    G'day Wok,

    About 12 months ago Rob had a pic of his car as his avatar, silver & blue if I remember correctly.
    Regards

    Yep, totally agree Tony. Although I can't say it's my fav thing, I find it curiously relaxing.

    Hey Dave, close but no cigar. Silver and BLACK. But unlike me, you do have a good memory.

    Hey DB, I do know most people's real names but much prefer nick names are more personal with your mates.

    Some of my old friends didn't know my real name for a couple of years, just knew me as Wokka haha
