ooo nice

I wanna be the guy in the bowler hat

Look at the early part of the video, when one guy is standing on the ring, see where his hammer will go if he missed.

They certainly can swing them hammers

That would be a nice winter time job but it must get awfully hot in there in the summer months.

Thanks for the pictures.

End product no idea ,,,,,,,,,good fun to watch the lads graft and they do graft .


Rob

Graft? I could understand the lads might need a skin graft but somehow I don't think that's what you meant.

Rob
Interesting to see, I hope the place is still going.

Thanks
