The Little Shop Australia
Resto's, tips, tricks and whatever I find interesting at the time.
I have a love of old machines especially here in Australia where our manufacturing companies have steeply declined. To refurbish and still use these relics hopefully adds some old school flavour to the channel.
You may see me use a tool and the next week fix it up good as new:)
