Hello to you all. I have had the Jan Hermkens plan for a few years now and started building it once but had leave it for while, when I eventualy go back to it there was so much hanger rash I had to scrub it. I am about to start again, the plans are at Belair for kitting, on thier return I will register it with the LMA. I think many years ago a member who lived ni the Midlands and had a kitchen fitting business built one and kindly wrote to me when I lived in Cornwall offering help. I would appreciate help and advice on the build when I start, which should be mid April. Further to this I am hoping to join the Hastings LMA club shortly. I was contemplating the Hercules or Tony's Wellington but have gone back to 3.45m span Sunderland.

Thank you Dave, have been in touch with Tony to find out club night. Second Tuesday of month at Bexhill so hope to go on 2nd March. Spoke to Tony about his Wellington but decided as I already had the plans for the Sundrerland I would go ahead with that. Plans at Belair at the moment.
