Morning all, I'm new to this forum but may have come across other members on UKW, WWI, UKAP etc. Turning three years, made several thousand pens and have a small craft business as a result that came about as a way to dispose of the proceeds of a hobby that got out of control! Day job comprises working with wood, designing structures for architects and designers and interior decor.

G'Day Neil,
Welcome to the forum from the slightly warm centre of Aust.


Mark,

Good to catch up with you again, last time was on the UKAP forum. last conversation you were berating your van as it had let you down when you had gone out for the night and it had broken down on the 800 mile round trip! Trust you got a new one!

Welcome Neil. We're prepared for our religious experience (the holy bowls ...)

:funny:

Nought holy about the bowls! One of the first I turned was in sycamore at a friends house where we had a get together and I went through the bottom of it and it has given Steven much pleasure in dredging this story up many many times! Wish I'd still got a picture of it - Have you Steven?

Great to see you here as well, Any idea how long ago that was? Still got my old girl, done two or three trips down south since then aprox 5000km each time.
