I though that I had better use the opportunity of this, the post that will earn me my promotion to woodworker \/ , to introduce myself. I know, I know, it's a bit late for that really, what can I say
To paraphrase Kevin Ley in F&C; On leaving a career in IT, Nick turned a hobby into a full-time business. The move happened very nearly three years ago, after one too many take-overs, and with the generous and loving support of the LOML. The first half of year 1 was spent converting and extending my double garage into a bigger workshop, though of course it is still too small :shock: . In year 2 I actually made a small profit (<£100), and at the end of this year, unless my accountant can come up with something really clever, I may have to pay some tax :evil:
Most of my time in IT was spent creating high end CAD and GIS software, hence my interest in SketchUp, though I also use an AutoCAD-alike, and as soon as I sort myself out with a decent amount of permanent web space, I will start posting some stuff from there, along with some pics of my work, workshop, :tool:s, Avatar etc..
