Rocking Horse Works
Quite often narrowboat maintenance work winds down in the run up to christmas. For a decade now I have been involved with the Rocking Horse Works who specialize in the manufacture of new, and restoration of antique rocking horses.
Spending a month or so making rocking horses makes a pleasant change from working on boats whilst employing many of the same skills. From wood carving to painting, varnishing, metal work and leather work there is no danger of getting bored in the rocking horse game!
As you can see most of the effort is concentrated on work and not in maintaining ones own appearance! Our humble industrial unit in shropshire takes on the atmosphere of a true Father Christmas's workshop at this time of year. We still find time in our bustling schedule to scoff the odd mince pie though!
