Welcome Newton and I'm looking forward to see your build diaries.
Nr 1: Red Widow LP-1MQ (Finished) ->Diary<-
Thank you for the kind words of welcome. I am currently pacing the house awaiting the Australia Post contractor delivery van and my first kit. It feels a bit like Christmas. I shall start a build diary just as soon as it arrives. Discovering this forum and the fact that kits actually exist has been a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to an autumn/winter build of two great individual guitars.
Welcome Newton! It always feels like Xmas before a kit arrives![]()

Fretwork,
I am sorry, I do not know of the history of a slippery dip down at the pool. I have only been up here since 2008 and I have never been to the local swimming baths apart from two days ago which I drove to; to check for you, if a slippery dip still existed. (What a nice peaceful hidden area of Blackheath!!). I didn't see a slippery dip. Just the changing blocks and the swimming pools. :-)
