I've just order the manual "Building the Nutshell Pram", for starting-up!<br />So many thanks for your articles here.<br /><br />Pablo de Castro<br /><br />Pablo de Castrohttp://www.mardepormedio.esnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875762894527152234.post-37138837478764181142011-03-30T13:25:47.450-07:002011-03-30T13:25:47.450-07:00I built a Humble Bee pram in my living room some t...I built a Humble Bee pram in my living room some time ago. A tender for my 1910 gaffer. A beauty. So beautiful, actually, that she is now permanently moored in the living room, the perfect match for my 1910 piano.

Light, pretty, tows a dream, sails well (a trifle tippy, hence her name) but a delight in discerning hands. Yes, John was a pretty good designer.
