Limited workshop space, unlimited interests... "The Littlest Workshop" the bastard child of "The Little House On The Prairie" and "The Littlest Hobo" TV shows. My interests include EDM, CNC, Camping, injection moulding, welding, inventing, casting, bushcraft, composites, 3D printing, micro-RC, ornithopters, optics, microcontrollers, Ukulele, lock picking, cycling, safe cracking, motorcycle restoration ... Maybe tomorrow my projects will be finished?
