Thanks for sharing, and feel free to keep posting more.
I'd love to see more pics of the builders in action, and some of the jigs and fixtures they've desired to accomplish the tasks the do daily.

:yah

PS; Great quality to the pics. As a somewhat avid photographer, I had to dig deeper into your pics. Great eye, and great camera setup!

Leica?

Jealous.

I have a ton of stuff I need to edit someday....will update this thread when I do. Nothing all that fancy on that trip as far as gear. I keep the good cameras and glass out of the shop because of the dust and the hazards of travel. I think I had a Canon EOS7 and a really pedestrian Tamaron lens that trip. I appreciate the compliments in any case! Kevin.
