Instead of a whole new topic, I thought I'd bump this one back up.

Bernd came to visit me yesterday.  He saw my relatively small and messy shop area, and I talked his ear off for a couple of hours.  I had the pleasure of seeing his HUGE (but still messy) shop back in February, and meeting his wife.  This was the reciprocal visit.

We both agreed that we have far too many unfinished projects going on at once.

It is always better if you can get the occassional visitor.

We tend to lead very solitary lives in our own little castles, and the odd visitor really does spur you on to get things done, and catch up on th latest news.

Off this site I have a couple of fairly regular visitors, and the odd ones who have dropped in.

I think Mal likes the visitors as well, as she never stops beating her gums when they turn up. In fact, when Ralph turns up it is choccies for him, and here is me rooting around for a grotty broken biscuit. Just joking of course, we save all the hard ones for when Ralph calls, they are the ones with teeth marks (or gum marks in my case).

It is such a shame that most of us live so far apart, meeting someone face to face is a wonderful experience. That is why I like to keep in touch using Skype. It is like being in the same room with them. Even Bernd, in his grossly oversized shop, is welcome.

I can not tell a lie.... I do have a bit of a sweet tooth  :)  Oh, and I can talk for hours on end about all sorts of stuff!!!   :lol:


Yep, it's fun to go visit people.... I've been so busy this summer that some possible visits have been ajurned..... Winter will allow some of them to happen.... Cold but free time rich in the winter months  :thumbup:


One day I might get that Skype thingy set up..... One day!




Ralph.

Aw shucks Bogs. It's not that grossly over size, it came with the house.  :lol:

It sure would be great if we did live closer together. Can you imagine the things we could build?

If you didn't have a messy shop I would have thought something is grossly wrong with you.

As the saying goes: "A clean shop is the sign of a sick mind."  :D



I did get to play with Roger's Plastic Finger Engine.

Then it was out to the garage to see Roger's other projects.

A 1/4 or was it 1/5 scale Sherman tank that he had started.   :bugeye:

All made out of plywood up against the wall so he would have room for that Mazda Miata (SP?) he's souping up.

Talk about to may projects and not enough time or money. Oh well, guess that's what keeps us young. Right?  :lol:
