Geezer found it in the attic when he moved into the house. Got watching one of those 'Flog It' sort of TV progs,remembered it, and decided to advertise it.
Sounds like a project, as you say. I'm kind of interested to see the similarities and differences between it and the modern handmades. Also, it may be good to learn a bit of repair work on. In case I ever have to tackle my other boxes.
Dunno about Gloucester. Who's on? Might hink about Ramsdonksveer in June. After Saulieu, cold and rainy Gloucester in winter isn't so attractive!
