About:Eldest of five, son of two doctors, 10 years in Graphic Design and marketing, then retrained as a Biomedical Materials Engineer, don't ask me why, I think it was because I had always wanted to design artificial limbs (still haven't done that though). I have four beautiful children and although I have been divorced twice I am now very happy. I love Instructables, its ethos and the quality of people who populate its shores, and I am proud to be a member.
