Reminds me of the work of Roger the Flatulent, 12th Century monk who lived the life of a hermit in the hills above Rhayader. His illustrations were said to be the product of hallucinations resulting from his consumption of distilled cabbage water. Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted April 29, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2018 In preparation for today's extravaganza, myself & No.1 son travelled the WSR yesterday. At Minehead we picked up a couple of old RM magazines, to browse on the the way back to BL. Imagine my surprise to see a name-check for a Tim Maddocks & 'Engine Wood' in one of the April 2012 articles. The man is obviously a legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 1, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 1, 2018 Today I have been mostly gluing bits of baseboard and cutting lots of large round holes in the bits that go under the board. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevejjjexcov Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Just read the thread. Did the baseboards come wrapped in the nice rug? I can see this will be another charming cameo layout, keep up the good work old chap I will follow with interest. Steve 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted May 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2018 A bit more gluing and fixing, I'm not rushing this like wot I usually do (and end up paying the price with further, unplanned woodwork bodgery). Roger's rug is still in evidence. It will have only a limited continuing existence at Kernow Towers, before it is removed to a charity shop or the local tip. If you wish to form a preservation society to save all or part of Roger's rug, now is the time to form your committee. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted May 2, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) That's assuming you haven't glued said baseboards to the carpet and need it to cover the evidence . . .

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted May 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 3, 2018 Did you supply those holes? They look like first class holes.They look like the holes I used. CK must have pinched a few whilst I wasn't looking on Sunday. Will have a quick count up on Pencarrow to see if any are missing. Will be easy to tell if the holes are mine as I wrote my name on them.
