Well, we always knew Larry was galoot through and through.  I can see through
the journalistic rosy picture and imagine the amount of sheer hard work needed
to avoid the ‘industrial apprentices’ we each turn to for the roughing out.  At
the same time, I think we all understand the sense of satisfaction and
appreciation of the final products.


And - for the benefit of any other galoots outside the chinook area, you need to
sidestep the geographical filter by using a gdpr neutral browser. Tor did it for
me.  Well worth the minor inconvenience.


When I’m in my cave, I shall salute you Larry.

Yorkshireman Galoot
Yesterday was dig out the pile of saws and dig through looking for something
suitable for a timber framer - a request from an old friend.
Contrary to one of our strict rules, I put them all together and took a photo.
At a modest 24 panel saws, nothing to shout about here of course, but lots of
clean up time needed before I can dispose of (most of) them on the open market.
