    Finally had to chuck out the triple screen idea——- way beyond my capabilities.
    First time I tried working with carbon——— I was a tad heavy handed ——- with carbon you have to be super clean——wear surgical gloves and change them regularly.
    As my old teacher used to say —— “COULD DO BETTER”.
    Think I ve found the screen I want to make——— that’s the pattern ——- has a removable cell cover.
    Was also in too much of a rush with the white leather bucket seats ——- but I’ll nail it next time !
    Trailer came out well ——- as Butler knows, one of the worlds finest advertising platforms!
    Jackie re. the screen.....The method is- first of all to do a card template from an old CornFlake box or similar, if it takes more that one piece then glue them together and allow the glue to dry before moving on the next bit....When you are happy with final shape lay it out on a big enough sheet of something like acetate sheet of suitable scale thickness and cover to area to be trimmed with masking tape...Lay the completed template on the taped area and pencil around the outside including any bending angles.....Cut around with a decent pair of Jilly's kitchen scissors...... Have you understood so far????........Model making requires patience and understanding a bit like undoing yer first bra strap..................!

    Just maybe——- you might begin to understand why I don’t do “MODELS” ?
    By now Phill, you will have seen the Donzi 44 and the three into one screen——- if you’re that smart—— why not have a crack at it ?
    Let me know how you get on !
    Was clean up time yesterday—— replaced the bandsaw blade with a new very expensive carbon six toother——— changed all the discs and sanding belts—— chucked out one of my favourite angle grinders, ( faulty switch proved impossible to replace) !
    Need to empty the bins, sweep the floor and sharpen the lathe tooling—— took all the scrap alloy to the yard——- ten kilos——- enough to pay for a stack of new material !
    Im having a purge before I start anything new——— tired of disappearing up my own arse—— maybe I should slow the rig down ——- step off and smell the roses once in a while.

    Still beavering away in the shop—— trying to get the place back to how it used to be before the mad fitsof depression.
    Cannot believe how much needs doing —— and how long it’s taking me !
    No doubt about it —— time has taken its toll, even though time has been kind ——- weariness and intolerance creeps in——- do not suffer fools gladly——— and still tell the majority——- sex and travel is the only way to go.
    Have no idea how the Miami Boat Show went for the Wilsons——- saw a couple of items on Facebook, but that’s all I’ve seen or heard.
    Should be back in the saddle next week——- have a couple of outrageous ideas skulling about among the little grey cells.
    Did .the car boot this morning——- that was next door to a waste of time——- same old crap—— different day!

    Thought I might try to get BONHAMS, the auction house, which sells off very expensive historic vehicles, for ridiculously excessive amounts of money in a one off “CONCEPT”.
    Had the idea bubbling around in my brain for a day or two——- do have a few old “BARN FIND” cars (models of course ) kicking around the shop, cluttering the place up.
    Let you know what transpires !

    Her majesty decided she’s she’s having a loft purge——— “go through this box——- I’m throwing out everything you don’t want to keep” ! Ultimatum!
    Was horrified to see this was a box that hadn’t seen the light of day for over twenty five years!
    I knew I had ROLLS ROYCE SILVER GHOST BY THE FRANKLIN MINT somewhere, but damned if I could recall where it was !
    Then spent the rest of the day in LA-LA LAND———- remembering a time I thought would never end.

    My mechanic and best friend CHAS SHOOTER—— was with me for ever——- right up to the time of the Cosworth DFV.
    He went on to look after Bob And Tom in the V8 F1 series with Hodges.
    A wonderful man and a great friend as well as a genius mechanic!
