A model engineers blog

This is an occasional blog covering model engineering and home engineering as I go along and learn

Name:
Location: Sussex, United Kingdom

I was born in march 1968 in a small village in Hertfordshire, just north of London. My father was English (English father Irish mother) and my mother is Welsh. When I was 2 months old the family moved to the Lebanon. I had some very good times there. We left due to the war in a convoy that was miles long and travelled by road from Beirut to Damascus in an 8 hour journey on the 4th of July 1976. Since then i have lived in Croydon then various parts of Mid Sussex where I now live.

So what's it all about then?

Well, this is an occasional blog on various model and indeed home engineering projects. The first full article I plan to write is about making a Stuart Turner 10V from castings. Stuart Turner used to be based in Henley on Thames, where in fact their pump division still is but is now based in Guernsey under the name of Stuart Models.

I will also cover things like making shelves from solid wood.
