well appointed workshop at the bottom of his garden. Fitted with
stainless steel draws and soon to be a lathe and milling machine!

Spray Booth
Dean and I made a small make shift spray booth in the workshop to

End of Day 2 (bike project)
All most there.. Painted and polished, new tyres, inner tubes, a new
chain, some grease and plenty of hard work. The evening was broken up
with a trip to an opening and a visit from Mark Eley.
