Old Boggy Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 I had arranged yesterday to go to Bushwakka`s house to pick up the 16 bore cartridges that he had recently advertised. He advised that if no response at the door bell, to give him a call on his mobile as he could be in his workshop. Once he mentioned workshop, I wondered what he could be busying himself with in there. As it turned out he answered the door with a very welcome greeting. It so happened that he was into wood turning and general woodworking and showed me his workshop and some of the lovely things he`s into making. Having only been doing it about a year, his expertise was amazing with beautifully turned bowls, pens, hand crafted spoons and a host of other items. I was able to pick his brains on much to do with lathe work and he was most generous with his time. I felt that we could have chatted for hours but realised he was in the middle of preparing his family`s dinner when I arrived, so didn`t wish to overstay our welcome. He made my wife so welcome too. Not only did I come away with the cartridges, but a pack of cold smoked pigeon jerky he very generously gave me. What a lovely guy and I only hope that he manages to post photos of some of his projects here on pigeon watch. Many thanks Pete, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you.

marsh man Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 The good guys on the forum far , far outnumber the bad ones ( I haven't met one yet ) and it's nice when the good ones get a mention now and again so we know they are a human being rather than a so called robot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwakka Posted October 23 Report Share Posted October 23 Well what a lovely post I feel greatly humbled. I find its very easy to click with and chat to like minded people. I have over the years met a few PW members and have found them to be a great source of information, knowledge as-well as being interesting to talk to. I hope what little knowledge I passed on to Chris will cultivate the inspiration to have ago and be creative. I for one can’t wait to see the fruits of his labour.
