Nice to read about someone fairly local - Is Dan a member?

"The only sign of modernity is an aged radio in the corner."

So not the bench grinder, sprays up on the shelf, 4 way extension lead, drop forged tools, engineers vice, corrugated iron roof or plastic basket then... ok.

cheers for posting Robin, Dan's just round the corner from me too. Glad the craft is getting some media attention

He's about a mile up the road from me by the looks of it, giving him a ring in the morning to ask about the courses he runs.

The thing is, it has the http://www.robin-wood.co.uk link at the bottom of the text - If Dan Watson makes nice stuff like Robin does (I love much of what I have seen posted here), why sugar coat it? Why make him sound like a damn hobbit without photos of his work? It's just poor writing for people who watch reality TV to get the wrong idea about people who work with wood.

Dan makes nice stuff, and not just wooden, the foods not bad either.
Glad he has got a mention in the press.
