Hi All
Self-taught home woodworker, with the habit of buying old tools, then getting them to work again, hand tools mainly.
Not doing much woodwork at present, following a dream at present, crusing the UK inland canals, and rivers.

Hi Bod,
I normally say welcome aboard but you seem to be aboard already :)
I do not think therefore I do not am.

So, Coventry, Oxford, then Grand Union. A tunnel at Crick and Husbands Bosworth, then Foxton Locks. That's a fair trip around the houses.

Were going from Crick to Bulls Bridge and back. But the hole appearing at Lock 4 on the Watford flight, meant that to definitely get back to Crick, we have now taken on the Leicester Ring, clockwise.

The sliding toilet cassette cover slipped off and fell down the Elsan hole at Long Buckby services when was there last month.

I didn't fetch it out.

Hope I didn't cause a blockage! :D
