Hi,
Perhaps you'll have a go at French polishing Jim? Once the basics are grasped then it suddenly becomes much easier and wonderful results can be obtained from a mirror gloss to a matt finish. Regarding my Palm Beach cycle Jim I dumped it on my 16th birthday when I could ride my first motorcycle legally on the road having obtained my driving license and insurance; this was a BSA 250 C11 and what a difference this made to my journeys to and from work; I've not been on a pedal cycle since apart from in Physio when some idiot driving a frozen up car hit me head on in 1970 whilst I was riding my Norton Atlas 750cc. I wonder how many such crashes happen every winter whilst car drivers cannot see where they are going because they are just too lazy to clean the ice from the windows.
C'mon Gary; me scared of heights; it's only a couple of months ago I was taking the top off one of our 40' trees using a bow saw; one thing I do not like is snakes; I'm not scared as such because I've stroked a snake at the vets but only if I know it to be non poisonous.
Apprenticeships David; the good old days when we were taught by skilled craftsmen how to do a job without injuring ourselves.
Kind regards, Col.
