Looking for a Chippy!

[tonyc07]

I'm looking for a carpenter in the Swanwick area; either a professional looking for some extra ££ or an enthusiastic amature to make up a pair of Teak Gratings for the heads on my Benny 393.

Locating one of these chaps is like trying to find the Holy Grail. Hoping that one of you learned forumites may have had experience of a good & reliable one?

Cheers,
JS

Astroturf is better & a load cheaper

If you can't find anyone locally, then this lot will quote you for one if you send them a diagram and dimensions

I don't have their number to hand, but the guys at Solent Shipwrights in Deacons Yard are very good. There is also another guy in The Cabin Boatyard by the the Riverside Chinese.

But we use Solent Shipwrights as they have never let us down and do great work -or should that be grate!

You can find them here - Solent Shipwrights

A forumite known as Big_Southern_Jesse has his own business in Emsworth www.southcoastshipwrights.co.uk and does all sorts.

Forumite Cuchilo is an excellent woodworker, but I don't know if he accepts commisions. Try a PM.

Second the recommendation for Howells. Have three of their teak gratings - not too difficult to DIY if you fancy but competitive to make to your template.
