The workshop is full of hand tools, from chisels to spoke shaves, planes, files, saws and clamps (lots and lots of them).

You will see some unusual tools that we have made and a few electric machines like a lathe, a band saw and a drill bench.

When you enter the workshop, the first thing that strikes you is the smell of wood and French polish. It’s as if you have taken a trip into history and have stepped into Cremona in the 17 hundreds.

Not a lot has changed. The tools and the atmosphere, the attitude and craftsmanship are all very similar to the ancient days.
