It's my firm belief that, when you stop learning, you're dead - or you might as well be. This is a place where I hope to share many of my hobbies and interests, and hopefully encourage others with creative and enquiring minds to have a go as well.
The website keeps growing, plenty of new pages added on Messier Objects and starting to add some Free Plans.
As real life is just far too boring, I apologise in advance for the nuggets (easter eggs?) of cheesy humour hidden across these pages, but it's all good clean fun. Well, mostly.
Enjoy!

So far the topics covered by this website concentrate on four main areas:
Model engineering - the making of working models essentially using the same materials and techniques as the prototypes.
Typical model engineering project - Norden Steam Engine
Metalworking workshop - not just for model engineering, all sorts of hobby engineering
In the workshop - make this Quick Change Toolpost
Projects - mostly boats so far, but I will be adding other stuff! All the things that aren't mostly made of metal.
Fast model boats - Miss Britain III
Astronomy - a hobby that offers opportunities for photographic, engineering and electronic projects while also opening my eyes to the vastness and variety of the universe.
Astronomy and astrophotrography, probing the universe!
That's not everything though, I will be adding reviews of some of my favourite music, and perhaps a few of my own tunes, some of my photography and you will also find the obscure Adept Lathe Register on these pages.
