Are you in Victoria?
I don’t understand - are you complaining or bragging?
Oh yeah, it’s on solid.
Clausing is packed up and gone.

Seems when I was leveling the base I managed to push the headstock up against the wall so the whole shop was like a big amplifier.
Moved it away from the wall and it’s much quieter now.
