Having seen photos of some of the incredible work he has done right from the very start, it's such a shame. I wish him and T all the very best for the future

I was only able to read a bit due to probs with computer..
The bit I read seems to indicate he is no longer able to carry out the work..sorry to read this. Its one thing to chose to give up..u r then ready but its totally different when u have to because of health...
I hope he is still able to faff about with a few DIY projects...

He used to be a lorry driver, if he has poor health he might not be able to back to it, which is a real disaster

Well i was about to post a thanks to you all. It was a lot of you guys n gals way back than that encouraged me to give the Boat Works a go. So glad i did even though i have had to end sooner than wanted. I would of rather tried and the business failed though than try and its working great and have to bloody shut shop. but hey ho. So yes as Joihn says i have closed business due to health. Just tendon troubles in my elbows and shoulders, fingers playing up again. thats the cold weather now though on the fingers. Hey some good has come of it, i need T to help me shower  lol If it comes to i cant wipe my back side though ill be getting an anchor round my neck. Been a shitty few months getting no better so i have had to go back to driving so sent out a few jobs applications and got offered one to start this Monday. Infact its a good site better than just driving as this job is engineering aswell as driving making stair lifts/components. Not a dead end job but we can work up departments and more departments you work in an dget a tick by the more money you get paid. Dont get that often nowadays, More like old ways of work places. Well end of an era again, another dream gone but good things to come, still got a good boat to work on when i can, not going to be easy but got T to help me now and odd friend. So thanks all for the encouragement in the past for me to go and do it  Captain Faffer |

BTW faffer - sweet new project; don’t know as I’d want to feed a pair of thirsty petrol Volvos to feed but if you hit the jackpot a pair of KAD 32’s will go in there without too much shoehorning 🤪👌👍🍻 |
