CHECKING emails and socials in bed with a coffee and an order for a guitar pin comes in. It’s for a pewter guitar with wood inlay….and we sold the last one in Finland. Guess I’ll be making one form scratch today!

After a late breakfast I pack up and print postage for a couple of merch items. I want folks to get them tomorrow but alas too late for today’s collection from our nearest post box.

Margaret has some stuff to go too so offers to take everything to the post office in Balloch. I go for part of the ride then jump out the car at Kilmaronock and have a nice walk home listening to an interesting podcast along the way.

Back home I cast a couple of guitar pins and another prototype for guitar earrings. The last ones had no sound hole and I wanna try another version with a sound hole. The pins are fairly straightforward to cast but the tiny guitar earrings are hard going and it takes a few pours to get an acceptable result.

I’m out of raw pewter so get an order in for more then we wander along to Betty’s for dinner where we have a grand evening 🙂
