Interesting trike you have there. A friend of mine tried one similar to yours recently and was very impressed. Unfortunately, he had a stroke some years ago so is unable to ride a bike. However he got on very well with the one he tried. He said that one had electric assistance which in his case was essential.

Coincidentally, Mrs B has been suggesting recently that I should get a lathe and take up wood turning. I did have a dabble years ago and found it very satisfying. The trouble is, whilst I would love to do just that, I'll be needing another shed first to park it all in.
The use of resin is a new development since I did a bit years ago.

Love your work.

Thanks for that , I have my lathe setup in the garage . not a lot of space but enough to get by. I was just about to start selling the pens , bowls etc at local craft fairs but the current situation has stopped that. I can make stock instead.

i have had the trike since 2008 it’s an ice trike, made in Cornwall . Not an electric version though it’s great to ride support for back and neck. Flying machine down hill , a little slower going up At probably down to my athletic ability

I have a modest collection of Coleman lanterns, the ones that use camp fuel. Plus a few Tilleys.
Here is one that needs cleaning up, with a few there in the background.



I'm also a concert photographer but that is not happening much these days...

Wow, you’ll certainly be ok if ever you suffer a ‘power cut’.

Visited here on a business trip last October. Amazing place. I think we spent 5hrs in total in the place

My wife used to collect miniature houses. We moved to our current place in 2006 and they are still in the shipping boxes in a cupboard. £1000s of pound worth.

My set up.

That is very neat. I'm guessing you made it?

 

[MattBW]

I just have a mount on the VW roof bars for VHF UHF.

I want to get a nice earthed mount for my ATAS120 but Ive not figured it out yet

Did you make this? It looks amazing

 

[Swiss Cheese]

I've only got as far as putting a mag mount Wilson Little Wil on the top of the boot door. It won't stick anywhere else! Obviously not a long term solution especially when the roof is raised... I have a springer that I would like to try but no mount bracket that works.

Yes and it’s tied into to awning mount as the rail is only glued on.

By that, do you mean there is another section inside the rail that goes as far as the awning and is fixed via the awning bolt too? I can't quite make it out from the photo, other than what looks like the earth cable?

I have to say, Nick, it looks really good. Do you have the dimensions and angles for it? Otherwise I think you should make some more and sell them on here!!!
