So it ended up being the year from hell
Everything started well enough, moved into the new workshop, work started to flow in, my fella was there to help and support me and I put together a good crew....
And then the bad things started to happen....
My fella died in December after a short fight with cancer....
Then we fell out with the landlord and had to look for another workshop.....
And then I caught one of my crew stealing from me....
I guess anyone other than a complete Bitch would have given up and gone home, but NO, this old Witch has stopped crying and sulking and is clawing her way back....
The new shop is starting to settle down and we have more work coming in now then ever before.....I also have a mostly new crew including a 16 year old apprentice.....
So believe me when I say the Witch is back, and will be posting pics of various builds soon

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

"And then I caught one of my crew stealing from me.... "
Is he still caged ? And how many fingers are left ??
The only thing I dislike more than a thief is the one I catch stealing from ME !!
