I’ll update this page with images of of equipment as I work on it. I won’t include every piece, but customers curious about the progress of their job can be assured that, once their equipment appears on the bench below, it’s not far from completion 🙂
My previously very popular workshop page has now become the workshop archive, given that I stopped updating it in 2023. You are welcome to view the many pieces of equipment listed there.
