@suttons_seeds thanks for great service replacing some plugs in my order damaged by @RoyalMail and for expedited delivery. Much appreciated 👍 Maybe a new delivery partner that doesn’t force live plugs through the postbox?

@RoyalMail Booked a return parcel yesterday, nobody turned up. Rebooked for today on your email instruction. Nobody turned up. AGAIN. I’m self employed and have lost 2 days work. Are you going to recompense me? Ever turn up to collect. Terrible, awful, couldn’t care service.

@RoyalMail Took time off today for you to collect a parcel. You told me “09:00 to 17:00” collection time. I waited ALL DAY. At 19:30 you sent an email “update, we couldn’t collect, update your order”. Self employed, so now no income today. What are you going to do about it?

Cold workshop. Possible snow later. The guitar finally reached setup. Neck relief. Bridge height. Intonation. The quiet adjustments that make it playable. Full episode now live on YouTube @luxeresinuk Explore LUXE RESIN pieces here: mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi…

This might not be for everyone. I’ve started a guitar build. Played for 30 years. Never built one. Learning in public, on purpose. Episode one is live. youtu.be/ulMTRZIlyww?si…

Dark, cool workshop light. Spirit stain on basswood. Gloves on, sponge in hand. Another episode done. Story moving.

Very cold again. Basswood, rasps, files, sandpaper. Shaping by hand. Filming quietly. Dog remains unimpressed.

Deep frost. Blue light. First cuts today, router shaping maple. Poppy the dog still tired from yesterday’s frozen fields.

Snow on frozen ground. Day off, but still learning. Episode one filmed. Now mixing. Quiet progress still counts.

Happy New Year. Cold, wet morning. Workshop back to being quiet. Dog back in bed. Yew on the bench and basswood for the first time. Starting gently, on purpose.

Christmas Eve. Workshop quiet. Tools down. Thank you for the support this year. Back in the New Year. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

One of my last posts of the year. A few hand finished boards remain at a seasonal price. After Christmas, it’s back to commissions and slower work. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Two days until Christmas. Handmade boards. £99. Same quality as commissions. When they’re gone, that’s it. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

A few finished boards remain at their seasonal price. When they go, they’re gone. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Last parcels sent. Tools cleaned and put away. A pause before the New Year. A few boards still available if you’re looking. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Most Christmas gifts don’t last past New Year. A few of mine are still available. £99 until Christmas. Built for years, not seasons. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Workshop closed early. Quiet evening. A few Black Friday boards remain. £99 until Christmas, then back to commission pricing. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Morning calm in the workshop. A few sale boards remain. £99 until Christmas, then gone. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN

Workshop tidied, paperwork tamed. Dog walk up on the hills after. Cold, wet, wind straight off the ridge. Glad of the descent. Shop is open if you are looking for a handmade Christmas gift. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN #ukmakers

A calmer Wednesday morning. Soft light, no rush, just easing into the day. If you are still looking for a handmade Christmas gift, the shop is open. mademe.co.uk/shop/luxe-resi… #LUXERESIN #ukmakers
