    Certainly some great workmanship, and great to see the end result, But, in another way its sad that when he and other tradesmen of that era pass away they take with them the skills of yesteryear. I realize some have been retained but others are lost forever..........AL

    Just as a matter of interest...this man has just gone into a nursing home. I guess there's now 1 less practicing artist.

    I hope his family are using his tools, appreciate his work, and haven't just hocked them off for a few $
