clivegto Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Spent about 3 hours in the man's workshop he is a very talented and passionate about what he does and he enjoys his work which is quite unusual to see nowadays. Makes everything himself. Was a pleasure to meet and chat with him. Quote Link to comment
