You have to judje the person by thier work not what they are called .

In my book this makes you a "Cabinet Maker"!

ladies and gentleman, i have read with great interest in the way one person has taken onto his shoulders the bad mouthing of a person amoung the many of praisers for that person, does it matter what jobs we have all done in our lives as long as an excellant job is undertaken now, i infact was a policeman for 13years after serving my time as a marine engineer before returning to run a large marine commercial and now leisure company, does that make me a bad engineer or someone who doesnt know their job even though ticketed to hnc & hnd as well as city & guilds and registered to lloyds A1 construction?.
I have known the said person "gaz" the brackel SPARTUN Marine for many years not only is he one of the BEST grp & composite repaires in the area without huge company backing but also one of the many few that no his products and tools like the back of his hand, he has and continues to carry out all my GRP repair work and new builds,this is a man that can repair rebuild and design and build his own ribs YES HIS OWN, does that say enough about this guy........mmmmmmmmmmm I THINK SO.

Does in mine too-my Grandfather was a cabinet maker and he'd turn in his grave if someone described him as a chippy.

Having read back through the thread a bit further,

1)Who's the twat who's registered just to have a go at people? If you believe what you're saying, put your name to it.

2) WHY does this always have to resort to you lot behaving like children shouting "My Dad's bigger than your Dad" at each other?

No, I don't GIVE A SHIT who started it either. Stop eating the blue smarties.

Nice looking repair by the way
