ABOUT
ME . . .
I
was born in Whitstable,England,and grew up on the Kent coast,where my love of
Thames sailing barges first inspired me,at age seven to borrow my
fathers woodworking
tools and build my first boat......from an old orange crate, with a
lot of extra
strips nailed on.
On
launch day my creation sank very quickly-an inspiration for me to
“do things
properly” next time.
A
lot later on “doing things properly” meant studying for my City &
Guilds of London certificate in Carpentry & Joinery (Distinction)
and studying
furniture making at the International Boatbuilding Training
Centre,Lowestoft,England.
(Advanced Joinery Certificate -Distinction).
