Thunderbird Club

Yes.;):D It's not really the Cobalts, it's the uranium in the cobalts that breaks down the tissue in the fingers due to sucking out all the intracellular fluid. It's a fact not a conspiracy theory. I've got to go, I'm hearing the voices from outer space again.....

You were right, that wasn't easy. :sour:
Or pretty. :rollno:
If I ever do that again, I'll figure out the more proper/easier way.

Got the cuts cleaned up okay-ish, but when I'm off next, I'll go look for some thing(s) that can improve the appearance a bit more. :facepalm:

Otherwise, it turned out as I'd hoped :thumbsup:

Just not pretty :vomit:

Enjoy! I’m working today as I have a big upgrade to do soon. I’ll have an out of band labor day later.
 
Nice job @KaraQ !! On a scale of 1 to 10, how difficult was it to remove the black plastic from the pickups?

Not super hard, but more than putting on strings; would have been a lot harder without the xuron cutters suggested by @TBird1958 in her post about the "procedure"...maybe a 3 or 4?
Took about 20-25 minutes, partly because I hadn't done one before, and also because I was trying hard to not stab myself or cut off a finger, or something else painful like that :smug:
 
I know that cat, but can't give out the name. It's not really a cat. Just looks that way when he wants to. We've been in negotiations together with the extraterrestrials concerning best practices survival. Would you believe the ETs use Zoom?

For the record I haven't drank in over 30 yrs. But did so much then there's likely still some in my system.....
