..... but never introduced myself, 23 years before the mast both RN and merch, now a Heating engineer by trade although should have retired 6 years ago, numerous hobbies boat building is only one of them.

Currently have Hatchetts Bismark (I have all the issues), New Marquette Le Spinx, Italiri Snellboot, a plank on frame victory and a few more all on the go so you can see my workshop is pretty full.

I also paraglide, abseil, tree climb (with arborist equipment), canoe (sit on top 13mtr kayak), mountain bike, computer gamer and other bits and pieces, reside in Chatham, Kent.

Think that will do for present, hope to talk to you all (all ready talked to Stan) soon, hello and well met.

Good on yer mate. I admit to being retired at age 59, the best I can manage is a leisurely walk with the dog in a morning, swim a couple of lengths in our pool and vegetate the rest of the day. I know if I exercised more I would be fitter and leaner, but I just love to many cakes and telly. {-)

A 13 metre kayak?  All on your own?  That's a heck of a paddle!   %%

(Or is it 13 feet?)

Anyway, welcome to the Madhouse that is Mayhem - a piccie of your workshop should be interesting!

It should work by itself,  it's not locked

Click attachments
Click browse to open up your computer
Select picture  (under 100K is best)
Select  'More'  for another picture
select  'Post'

Cheers

Yes I can open the attachment box and clip on browse but nothing happens, it looks as though it should work the button changes color but nada, I'll try it in another browser.
