    Pushing Back .......

    OK ...... I've been waiting patiently for the balsa to dry out. In hindsight I could ( read that as should ) have cut the blast creator before applying PVA as the balsa wood will now be harder but never mind ..... no big deal. But .... give a man time and this is what happens ..... My mind got...

That could take a little...

    Pushing Back .......

    Hi John, It is a very slight camber but it is amazing how noticeable it is once you start to lay the cobbles. Loads ofsetting out to do tomorrow. I will take some time out tomorrow to turn my attention to the special cobbles. These get away from a plain grey finish and define gutters and the...
