    Hi.......again

    Hi, I have a confession, I'm not a new guy at all. I used to frequent these pages many moons ago and for one reason or another lapsed and I forgot my login details and yadda, yadda, yadda. So anyway I'm back in a new guise.
    I'm based in the UK and have a soft spot for Katanas I had one as a spotty youth in the eigties and in 2008 decided to build my take on a modern Kat and still have it and still love it, was out on it today



    Looks like I failed with the pics:/

          I tried posting the pics from my photobucket account (fail) and have subsequently set up an album but uploading direct from my laptop also fails despite resizing the image.
