Welcome to my website. I set this page up as a few people were interested in some of my hobbies. I'm currently living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and am presently without a shop to work in so the hobbies have slowed down.
I've tried to optimize my site but it is fairly graphics intensive. However it should load relatively quickly as I've done what I can to limit the size of the graphics. The page is setup and tested on MS Internet Explorer v6.0 and Opera v7.0 with the monitor resolution set to 1024X768 on a 17" monitor. This is not because I think this is the best, or only setup, just what I currently use.
I would appreciate any comments, either about the site or the information
contained on it. If you are unable to send me an e-mail by clicking on
one of the email links just use your email program and my email address
of :
. Unfortunately I've had to take some steps to hide my email address due
to all of the spambots on the web which grab email addresses for the purpose
of sending spam. The email address above is actually a graphic so you have
to actually type that into your email program to send me a message. The
email links are cloaked to make it harder for the spambots so may not work
for everyone.
Enjoy,
