The last job to go through the old workshop before moving to the new one this week! Shop display wall system prototypes for @seasaltcornwall - the decorator started painting them faster than I could get my phone out to take a picture!

My first go at machining some aluminium - 2mm, 3mm and 6mm. There was time pressure on turning it around quickly which is a shame as I would have liked to have taken my time a bit with this...not bad for a first attempt though 👍

[Mike Boyd @applyworks]
