[edit] Hi, I'm Bill Bradley

I'm a tradesman carpenter and a builder, with 49 years in the game. Now that I am retired I am slowing down on the doing it and spending more time on the writing about it. I have taught quite a few apprentice carpenters in my time, but not nearly as many as the old tradesmen that taught me. The modern way of building with large large companies running jobs that rely solely on sub-contract labour has killed traditional apprenticeship as it used to be. In some small way I guess what I am trying to do is pass on a bit of the stuff I have learned myself over the years.

The small amount of content I have provided for Wikipedia is mainly the addition of photographs. As soon a I start adding text content to an article I tend to fall foul of the wiki's requirements to be impersonal. I tend to write in a "how to" style, as though I am talking to a young guy starting out.

I am a great fan of Linux software. I go into that in a bit more detail at my personal website builder Bill
