    Default My Screen Name

    OK

    Five Thumbs is meant to convey, literally, my ineptitude at woodworking. By that I mean making furniture, I can repair and refurbish furniture fairly well. I can do minor electrical work (very carefully), small plumbing jobs, install sprinkling systems, build fences and gates, prune roses and hedges, put floors into roof spaces, hang new doors, build interior walls in garages, work out drainage systems and install them, build retaining walls, fix small problems in washing machines, make leather belts and handbags and stitch them with waxed thread.

    On reflection I may have been a little hard on myself. Anyway, starting next week I am going to miss golf on Fridays (so only play on Wed & Sat) and start doing woodwork on Fridays. If I start improving I will post a picture and the members can tell me whether I can start taking thumbs away.

    Cheers

    Lucky you

    Cagey doesnt refer to my demeanour. I happens to be my initials KG. A guy I worked with labled me many years ago and Ive used it ever since for all kind of things including personal plates on the SS Commodore.
    Thanks Kev.

    I have a daughter who we call KT, works for her.
    I also have heard that SS interprets as Stock Standard (I don't drive a local car)
    Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
