You won't be quite as twitchy if you've watched someone else do it before you have a go.

Pretty easy, I have done a couple and they have turned out really nice, things like the specialized phat-wrap gel strips make things a bit more interesting, just taping up a bar though is not that hard. I found an inch or so of double sided tape round the bar where you will start and finish made things a bit easier.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
