WE’RE still in bed drinking coffee and dealing with emails when the doorbell goes…it’s my guitar student, Dawn.

Normally she’s not here ’til 10am, but she did ask to come early when we were arranging this week’s lesson. Jeez, it’s even in the diary! I get sorted, put lint he tea and coffee and a few minutes later we’re in business.

After the session I continue Betty’s batch of custom mugs and sort out the fans and venting in the office to accommodate the new machine.

Once the mugs are finished I deliver them and get back home for lunch.

In the studio I prepare a 3D file in the hope I can get some wee sleeves to reduce the bolt holes in the Acoustasonic to take the slimmer carbon fibre neck bolts 3D printed. I upload the file to a 3D printing service but get an error saying the walls are too thin…the sleeves are just under .4mm and the thinnest walls the recommend printing are .5mm. I email for help.

Suddenly it’s time to head into Glasgow. We have some stuff top drop off then a Christmas social/networking event at the Scottish Music Centre.

I’ve booked a table at Celino’s in Partick for dinner. We’re a little early so enjoy a drink in the Lismore across the road before enjoying a lovely meal courtesy, in no small part, of some vouchers my cousin Fred gave me for my birthday back in August.
