We had a beautiful day on the beach, I had hoped it would be windy so I could fly my kites but it was very calm so I had to look for other ways to pass the time. My ornithopter seemed to manage OK

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
