The last bench in the new workshop built, well still needs draws and cupboards, but all machine tools in place.
Looking forward to getting some knives made for stock

The last workshop bench is started. So looking forward to not having to drag my tools out of boxes before I can use them

New Workshop News
I managed to put insulation into the workshop and leatherwork studio but my order book was shouting at me.
So I bought in tools and machinery to get these knives made. It was a decision filled with angst. Having built 5 workshops throughout my career I know that once you start working in your new workshop you’re unlikely to ever finish it.
But order now filled and work on the electrics and lining has begun. Huzzah

Its been years in the planning but this morning a team of four Brummies arrived and in 2 ½ hours the workshop, studio and a garden shed were completed.
They are just shells so now the process of lining them and fitting them out begins.
On reflection this has been needed for about ten years.
To say I’m excited is an understatement 🥳🥳
