Watched the upholsterer make the pattern for our canopy a few years ago and he did much as Duncan's said, in fact sounds so similar could have been the same chappie. Only thing he did slightly different was to use clear polythene as the pattern material. He said it was easier to line everything...

They're all sending you the boring way. How about turn right out of Solent instead of left? Then down to Torquay, Lands End, then turn right up past the taffs to the land of the sweaties. Through the Caledonian canal, (brilliant), then out at Inverness, turn right (don't forget that) then down...

Or put it in an insulated box in the cockpit of the empty boat next door?

And then put this sticker over it?

How disappointing to hear that, he'll give the rest of the industry a bad reputation if he keeps that up. Job done on time and on budget? Sounds like he needs some training in customer disrelations. Well done VP.

Funnily enough I was just looking on another forum and came across this recommendation: Kustomsport who are based in Carlton near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, have got perfect replacement set of carpets for caravans. They hold all the floor plans for a wide range of vans and cut/bind carpets...

If it were me I'd have Andy59's bloke make me a set like that then get to him make a drop in set with bound edges to pop on top for normal day to day stuff. Then when "naice" people visit, hide the drop in set.

Like the idea of fingers from a rubber glove, though could also be an alternative use for a condom

IIRC aviation specifically bans soldered joints due to vibration problems

I'm on the mailing list of an auction company and just received today's offerings. There's a pair of engines up for auction that look quite tempting. It's not helped that I don't have a boat to fit them in at the moment, but generally speaking would it be worth a gamble to buy these and then...
