A fellow luddite hitting bits of wood with other bits of wood and sometimes metal when we are feeling fancy. There's got to be a competition in that - who can make a servicable cbg using the most basic of tools - axes at the ready boys!

Good to meet you this weekend mate. Got home rooted through the booze cupboard and found a very nice 12 yr old Glenlivet - better than that it was in a tin presentation box. Weird shape sort of roundy triangular but I think I have figured it. That is now on the list for the dark nights

Will have to do it again some timel
