There is one high poster on here who has not yet enlightened (entertained :) :) ) us with his 'brew' . Think of a character in 'Winnie the Poo' but with a 'R' in his name!

When I first started teaching I felt that I was imparting useful knowledge to young 'uns, it changed first to child minding, then to zoo keeping just before I jumped ship.
My lifelong friend from Hull, who I often meet up with for motorcycle trips served his apprenticeship as a patternmaker - company (Rose, Downs & Thompson) now closed of course but he still turns out some excellent artifacts in wood in retirement.

I pass Rose, Downs & Thompson on my way to the dodgy 'Whalebone' pub every Monday night Ian and it's still up and running ..I don't know if they still have patternmakers though. My bro's old company Broady Flow Control in Hull, which he owned, still has one pattermaker I believe.. up to a year or so back they had 4. The Wadkin shaping machine lathe thingy they use has a motor/generator dated 1912 ...same manufacturer as the ones on the Titanic.
