- I bought a cheap Thicknesser/Planer and modified it. Plus built a very sturdy portable bench. Then finished my guitar pedalboard and tried it out. The pedal board works great. - The "trying out" didn't go so well. I don't do retakes on this channel... maybe I should change that policy.
I have never heard the Welsh national anthem rendered quite like that before. I am glad I live in England. Best wishes. James
Funnily enough, the CZcams copyright checking algorithm didn't recognise it at all. Either that, or Bob Dylan (famous Welsh poet) had a quick listen and decided he wanted nothing to do with it.
Cheers, Paul
Hey Paul, look at you ! Getting proper tools together in a proper workshop, you’re getting quite a collection together…. and you know how to use them…. great job!
And the tease, again, of a motorbike based restoration….. you can just imagine the ‘thigh rubbing’ going on around the country as you waggled a pair of beautiful oily carbs in front of the camera….. almost too much….. I for one can’t wait .
And please don’t beat yourself up over the Bob Dylan song, if Bob didn’t recognise it, or Google, or anyone else for that matter, then just claim it as an original composition and ‘publish and be dammed’!, and lest we forget Les Dawson had a whole routine based around playing the piano….errrrr….. ‘differently’, you could be on to something here !
Great film as always Paul, your confidence with wood is increasing day by day…. please keep ‘em coming.
All the best,
Richard.
Richard, my apology was to Bob Dylan. However, having said that, I once queued up for 24 hours to buy a ticket to his Earls Court show (1978?) - so I feel he owes me one.
This motorbike is not really a project as it is actually a 'runner'. Although it needs a bit of work to make it safe - plus a service etc. But it will be the subject of the next video. I see a lot of similarities between motorcycling and sailing. Quite a few sailors seem to ride bikes.
Cheers, Paul
@@verynearlyaboutsailing8114 I may be lambasted for this but I went to see Bob Dylan at the Docklands Arena in the early 2000’s…… I lasted 10 mins……. Sorry, but it was awful 😞
Yes a lot of the freedoms are associated with both bikes and boats, just don’t get ‘em confused 🫤 boats float…. bikes don’t !
Love your videos Paul, now stop reading this and get on with something useful 😉
All the best
R.
Ps: how’s the piano ?
Yes! The beds ARE terrible!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I'll watch the rest now...
Yes, literally awful and completely unfit for purpose.
Cheers, Paul
I wanna see you do some looping like Ed does. A little practice and you'll soon be practically as good as him ;)
I really should have practiced doing that before I hit record. Oh well. Yes, there will definitely be some looping going on in the Christmas special. I have tried it before on a different setup ... and its' not easy. Hats off to Ed.
Cheers, Paul
I only recently in the last month or so discovered Ed and looping. A cruising friend showed me some.videos of him performing. I had no idea that your soundboard project had a looper included or even what that was before this.
It looks impossible to me what Ed does with his looping. But then again I can't play guitar -or even sing. I cant even remember any lyrics other than a few words of most songs.
Ed is probably the best looper out there. His pedalboard rig is astonishing (and cost many 10s of thousands of pounds). He sells a couple of (very cut down) versions of his rig under his own brand.
I need to do a lot of practice to learn how to use my feet as well as my hands. I think you will probably have to wait for the Christmas Special before any 'proper' looping happens.
