Curious as to the motor on the right back by the glass window wall.

Looks like a C6 or T2 sitting there. I zoomed it in a bit.

Righto Don, we're cooking with Propane, knickers up and box on, ONIVAR!!!!!!

Started this last week, might be the off golf tourney Trophy, unless anyone fancies a crack at it----a bit huge and futuristic, still within my capabilities but a bit more adventurous.

I finally let the cat out of the bag! told my wife about you and your guitar project! I showed her some of your scuptures,big mistake! when she saw steves boat art, [That's cool]. Our honeymoon was at the world champs key west 87 while crew chiefing a pro stock boat!English bloke walks up and starts asking about the new marriage and interviews us for a british boat magazine article!wondered if any of your friends might have a copy covering the 87 worlds and if there's any mention of us!anyway, looks like I might need another piece of your art for her 50th this year!

OK let's take one step back here and ask------87-----only two English boat race reporters worth a light were Baverstock----( who was in decline) and Bulman.
Bulman is evergreen and his stuff was syndicated world wide and has "done" Key West on numerous occasions.------married to the long suffering MARGE but has a deep understanding of idiots like me who love the sport.
Will probably be able to tell you who won and who came 10th in 87.
will put the word out-------something may turn up.

Hey Don, sorry about your bad luck, every thing I got is for sale------there's shed loads of it.
I' m not cheap, but you get value for money, and I do sign everything.

Your like a bloody elephant Stavros------never forget who owes you a drink-----so, I'll buy the first two.
cracking piece of kit ,that camera of yours, makes the " SIROIS" look half decent !!!!!

Jackie: your instructions don't seem to work for me. I get as far as "tap on computer" and all else stops.

Wow some every cool stuff all.!
I use to build custom pool tables and with the scraps I started making fish carvings.
I used a CNC router for all the table stuff and for the carvings. i guess that is cheating
but most people use the tools they have and thats what I did.

Yes, but do you use your own name? Mine is signed by someone named the "Duke Of Cumerbund".....

This is a piece I did some 40 yrs. ago. The rotor is a slice off an actual rotor I was working on. It's seen its better days from storage, moving, kids etc.

This is one of several bows I have made. They are not kits, but start as blocks of wood and strips of fiberglass.

Very nice work Dago, keep at it-------if we didn't cheat and lie we wouldn't be "old farts".

That's where ALL rotaries should be, there are no "better days" for 'em.
