Nice clean shop, I might have to borrow some of your ideas. Where do you do your finishing and spraying?


Posted By: Richard Sewell     [05/20/2007]
Ian.

Thank you for the kind words, and borrow away. I do my spraying in a knock-down booth in the main bay. I spray only WB products, and vent them directly outside the shop, however it is still far from ideal, and a matter I intend to re-work soon

nice organized shop with nice clean work....but when do you find time to throw the darts?


Posted By: Richard Sewell     [06/03/2007]
Thanks Michael. The darts still help relieve stress. Unfortunately, lately the stress increases and the time for relief decreases.
