Wishing a very happy Doctor Who Day to all who celebrate!

I do love Philip Pullman's writing, and wholeheartedly support every political stance I have ever seen him take, but this really is "Tell me you don't understand Tolkien without telling me …"

Very much the sort of irredeemably mawkish nonsense that would go down a storm at Bob's Country Bunker.

Hurricane Guitar #2: front view. Today's progress: rounded the sides with a router, front and back, and then lots of sanding on the top to get it level and remove saw marks. Still loads more sanding to go!

The Great Sylvester McCoy once again demonstrating why he shall forever be My Doctor Who.

Hurricane Guitar #1: back view!

Yesterday's post about the guitar I started building from the tree that fell on my house in a hurricane is the second guitar from that tree (and only the second one I've ever attempted!). So Guitar #1 is a little further along in the process. I will be sharing them both! @shabbyroads.bsky.social

Hurricane Guitar Update: after some sawing, it is looking slightly more guitar-shaped!

This morning, I started building a guitar out of the tree that fell on my house in a hurricane. Regular updates on progress will appear here.

Very much hoping Robert Eggers' new vampire film gets a sequel, so we can try to talk about "Nosferatu 2" without picturing Count Orlok as a Ballerina.
