4. Dave Sy has continued to apply his woodworking skills to projects and has recently completed a guinea pig run, with all the mod cons. Who better to be the test guinea pig but Charlie Farnes, who was displaying his Houdini skills. Knowing Charlie like I do, am sure he as slept in worse places! It looks like a Dave and Charlie illusion stage act I presume the run was padlocked Dave?!
