Hello All

I'm a retired doctor engineer who is also a Church of England priest and am married to Rosalinda a Filipina. We have 9 grandchildren and what seems like a massive family. We live on the Island of Luzon and I am 75 my wife being 52. A Broadcast Engineer by training and was with the British Military until retirement. Woodwork is my main hobby interest along with Amateur Radio.

I'm very much an amateur woodworker and at present am busy with my own coffin (before the event.) Coffins are very expensive over here and my family would prefer to do the business themselves as one son in law is already a Pastor (economy you see!). Any suggestions re design or drawings etc would be of great interest.

Thanks a lot for reading this short intro!

Doc Bill.

G'Day & Welcome "DownUnder" "Doc Bill",
There are quite a few blokes from Brits on the forum; but I haven't seen any others from the Philippines yet.
You certainly have a very interesting mixture of Brit, engineer, priest, woodworker [coffin maker] and living in the "far east".
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Thank you for the photos showing off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodworking.
Cheers from "On Top DownUnder" crowie
