I had a thread on it at 'the other place' - but had to delete it in the end owing to some weirdos out there. If people want to see the build (I have stalled a bit for a while) I will open a thread and post some pics of the build so far...

Up and my folks for NYE. Dad is mid 70s and still tinkering with shit. In the past it was motorbikes then woodworking. He's made furniture for the house and other projects. The last few years it's been buying, restoring/repairing old army stoves. He's got more crap crammed into a double garage than I thought was possible... :clap:
