Trevor's Models

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."

Now then, don't get me wrong, I am no wood working expert, in fact quite the contrary. I can not cut a straight line to save my life.  My greatest wood working achievement was way back in the 60's at the Bishops Stortford Boys High School when I made a pencil box.  
I am just somebody who has found the great therapeutic value of doing a spot of wood work. My name is Trevor Russell.  I spent over 30 years in the motor trade before being put out to pasture.  20 of those years for the same chap.  I now work in the food industry. From boardroom to back room in less than the time it took to read this sentence.
For the first time in my life I have found myself with oodles of free time.  There are only so many hours that you can waste on computer games.  Anyway, one day while surfing the web I came across a hobbies plan's website.
Moving on slightly, I have always had this fascination for Windmills.  My dream would be to live in a windmill or a lighthouse.  Crazy eh!  I do not know how practical that would be and lets face it, short of winning the lottery I doubt that I will ever find out.  

Anyway, I came across some plans for a windmill. 'Well now, this could be the closest I get to having a windmill of my own' I thought.  So I sent off for plans for the windmill and also the plans for another model which caught my eye, St Tiggywinkles Church.

My work area comprises of a single garage for my workshop.
