Me too - he's a bit fit is Guy Martin.

Posted by: townofmemories (16516)  Report abuse
He's like a kid in a sweetshop, lol.

Bet he doesn't get that excited when he sees his mrs wi' little/nowt on, as when he sees stuff like them trains.

Indeed, was very interesting seeing how they made the wheels.

Cant use BBC Iplayer but has irrefutable proof of the existence of God. Hmmm .

Posted by: townofmemories (16516)  Report abuse
It's 4od that was linked to, not iPlayer.

Posted by: veg grower (10710)  Report abuse
Those wooden bicycles were fantastic.

I only found out recently that he is motorbike racer and lorry mechanic - what a busy fella.

Posted by: bentlegs (3487) Report abuse
Did you see what he was tanning leather with, Dog shit, but he had long gloves on,

Posted by: Mac (27785)  Report abuse
Kid gloves.

Where there's muck, there's brass:

Episode 3

Guy visits Llandudno to help get this Queen of Victorian resorts up to scratch in time for the summer season.
... he joins a brass band to play his part in a special promenade concert - with mixed results...

Posted by: dostaf (50019) Report abuse
Great episode.

Not so sure about the modern look the pier seemed to be getting,but better than total decline.

Ears pricked up at the mention of the wood ash, when doing maintenance on the old helter skelter chutes.

Ash is used because it doesn't splinter.

Posted by: mache (16345)  Report abuse
Thought he said Beech

Posted by: dostaf (50019) Report abuse
He did.

Got ash on the brean. It's spereading.

Posted by: mache (16345)  Report abuse
Wood ash is good for the garden

Posted by: dostaf (50019) Report abuse
Good for the 'brean' as well.

Bad news

Posted by: Oganeil (95) Report abuse
He starred in a TT documentary called (I think) Closer To The Edge. Well worth a watch, even if you are not into motorbike racing.

Posted by: mache (16345)  Report abuse
