You were lucky! When I were a young whipper-snapper my first workshop was a double decker bus ? A 2x3 meter shed? - We dreamed of having a 2x3 meter s...
Thanks Mike, I’ll look into that. I agree, every man needs a shed.
Hey Mike, I can only talk about the courses I’ve done so here goes. Since meeting Mark (online), I have completed the Design your own Guitar and Buil...
