I managed to get a little accomplished in the shop this week. Still a lot to be done. Progress has been steady but slow. I am still working afternoons and Saturdays at the fabrication shop and weekday mornings doing some machining. This leaves me a little time in the evenings, Saturday afternoons and Sundays to accomplish everything else. McLean and I made a trip to South Carolina to pick up my Marchetti & Lange frame and fork alignment tables. It is good to finally have those back in my possession. Thanks to Phil Murphy for taking such care of them.
I also picked up some book cases, a small work bench and all of my cycling posters.
I plan to announce regular shop hours sometime next week. I am not sure that I will be building any frames at this point but at least you will know when I will be at the shop if anyone would like to stop by and take the grand tour. I will be moving tools and parts, building benches and organizing for some time yet, but I am still moving forward.
Here are the latest photos of the shop, as you can see much has changed since I started demolition.
