Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Debman - thanks for the welcome - & your artwork in the 'other talents' thread is brilliant!
Brendan/ FrankenWashie - I grew up playing the game they play in heaven (prop until I grew a neck, then I became a breakaway) but went right off the game when they started messing around so badly with the laws of the game. I'm now more of a leaguie, yeah I know it's a thugs game but I was a prop rememberI still catch the occasional Brumbies game though.

BillB I am currently fighting the pre season battle, My rugby Club says "Come back to pre-season, we need a couple o good props" I say, I am RETIRED!! And my right ankle no longer works properly. It doesn't seem to dissuade them.
And props are not thugs, we are simply masters of a dark art known to few, and feared by the weak, callow and foppish. You know them, they're called backs.
