A few shiny bits

Post by john-e89 » Tue May 10, 2022 7:23 pm

Moved to a brand new build unit at last, got it up and running by last week, so did a few test pieces in the vapour blaster for the website coming soon.

That’s a great workshop..very jealous…impressed with the vapour blasted parts :thumbsup:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..
