Hey guys
Last year I spend most of my time building my dream workshop. I have to thank my dad for his support and vision. This is only the start of better things to come.A lot of blood , sweat and smiles went into this passion, or should I call it disease of ours.

Early days.....

This was still the easy part. Now the fun starts.

Another brick in wall.It all developed day by day. Things just fall in place as you go along and more importantly, dream along.

I thought of making it a acid or primer bath, only problem is that the workshop is build in a residential area. But as I said, it's fun to dream.

You don't need to remind me :D . Wish I was on a farm in Stellenbosch rather. I'll have to make this work for now and hopefully I can be on a farm one day , with a big Museum, lots of animals and some wine. Oh, and maybe my own racetrack too.

I feel honoured that Werner Alker was part of the first job done in the Aircooledwonders Workshop.

As Barry already mentioned, space will always be a problem. Here are some engine racks that I build.

Last week I made this rotisserie. Now I can see more than I wanted see :D

I'll keep you all updated as projects go along.

Awesome job Wernher Please tell us more about your lay-out. it seems you lucked out with a spray booth and a lift. what is the purpose of the room inside the bigger area? May I suggest ABE-cote paint for the floor it works well.
Regards
Armand
