    Welcome back Rowan, glad to read you're doing well and now teaching at HLC, I haven't a clue whether you remember me- I was the Dutch fellow who tagged along with you and Mike to work on the Beeston lock in 2018 (or 19, I can't even quite recall).
    I've since started my own forge, as was the plan, and am primarily working on reconstructing 17th c. Ironwork. Although not fulltime just yet, as health issues put me out of order for a good year and a half. But I've since recovered.

    • @RowanTaylor
      @RowanTaylor  Рік тому

      Hello Jari. Yes I remember you very well! You got paint all over the back seats of my pickup! You did say that you were going to go into 17th century ironwork and possibly continue being involved with the tall ships, I seem to remember.

    • @JariB.
      @JariB. Рік тому

      @@RowanTaylor Oh good grief, I don't recall the paint debacle at all! I mean, I do recall that a little of it got on a sleeve of one of my shirts (which I had tried to take care of before leaving the forge), but I don't recall that having left anything in the pickup, but if so- terribly sorry, I hadn't noticed at all!
      Currently I'm not involved with the tallships, I did work on a historical shipyard as an apprentice before going to HLC. Now, over the last year and a half my main focus has shifted a little, from the intent to get into armouring, to instead getting into reproducing particular things that go 'bang', as well as more conventional every-day civilian ironwork.
