The Story of the blog so far.


So Year One a Cuban film Poster became field telephones that ended up becoming a farmhouse table that was almost too nice to be swapped after being restored so ended up in my girlfriends house. I have eaten dinner off it, its a nice table. A solid start to swapping.

Then Year Two 4 cans of guinness became a MTB bike wheel that became a road bike frame that with the help of ebay and some old trainers became a fixed gear racer bike (check out a pick of it below). This bike spurned all kinds of bike related madness lol.

Now I made a sailing dinghy from a row boat when I was a kid with my dad and stripped anti fouling off his sailing boat and generally tinkered with boats and generally reading swallows and amazons too much.

So This Year, we are going BIGGER. This year I'm Gonna swap my way to a Sailing Boat.

Cant be done you say? check These guys out in the states who not only get one boat they get a whole heap of free boats.

Thing is boats need painted, retstored looked after, moored somewhere, basically they are a high maintenance date, I reckon is is do-able. Now all I need is something to start swapping with and we can get going.
