Dave on the radio (baseboard dave?)

[derek]

Hi lads, listening to Today FM this morning I heard a" Dave" talking about his former job as a cabinet maker before going into making model railway baseboards full time. I,m sure I have come across said Dave on here before. ( there are probably plenty of you shaking your heads and muttering things like " of course you heard of him, its ,.......). So apologies in advance. (Baseboard Dave rings a bell?) . Being a joiner myself, it struck me that I have come across a few other "chippies" on here.  Is it a trade that gravitates toward the ol trains or am I imagining things?. Love to hear what you think.....

I went to trade school in Berlin in the ninteys and qualified as a carpenter/cabinet maker. Went back to school here in Ohio in 2010 and became a nurse. I haven't met any railway modellers in those fields but met quite a few who are musicians.

Useful men a good "Chippie"!

"My Man" was Nathan who did my study sheving and converted the loft AND built the superb, sturdy baseboards in said area.

The leader of a choir I was in was a specialist carpenter who made very expensive kitchens - he studied MATHS at Uni.

I knew someone would do that, but I didn't expect it so soon, when we've only just begun.

Yeah, but ' For All We Know', 'It's Going to Take Some Time' and 'All I Can Do' is stop here, as I can't think of 'Another Song'.
