“I made the “Pipe Grips” at school in about 1978. It wasn’t a very creative, we just went to the tool cupboard, took something out and made a copy of it. I think this was the best thing I made at the school. It involved lots of different techniques. Mr Jenkinson said they felt “handy”, which was a terrific complement to me, better than grades or marks. I made contact again with Mr Jenkinson recently. His wife wrote me telling me of his frailty and age: 89 years.”
