I have decided to do this small section on Mike Hine, my Grandfather. This little mention was found on a website I found when I decided to see if my grandad was on then net anywhere. (Taken off http://www.craft-fair.co.uk/exhibitors.cfm?SubCatno=164&category=Bowls%20%26%20Vases).
The site contains information about a craft fare my grandad sometimes goes to in order to sell some of his work. As well as this he used to sell things in his own show room at home.

My granddad is a wood turner, he is one of the main people in my family I look up to, I have helped him create a lot of things from wood including: a tree house, a play house including and mini upstairs, an avery, a chicken run, and he also helped me to learn to wood turn. I feel that this link with wood and my granddad is one of the most important I have used so far. Therefore I will insure to make some part of my avatar or environment linked to my grandad. At this point I think that I will probably make the walls wooden so that it is linked that way.
As well as wood turning my granddad is an acomplished builder, he used to work for wimpy building site and also he built his own home. He also helped me to make my own room at home as we converted the garage into my room.
