While actually looking for a place to park my car I chanced upon this man and his shop. He said I was welcome to park in front of his building , when I saw what he was doing and told him I was a builder to he Kindly invited me in for a tour.

Just a quick glance told a story of talent and tradition that was still being continued.

I could have easily spent a day photographing the tools and textures that permeated this beautiful space.

Lucky you!
The building and craftsmen (esp the B&W image) cry out for sepia and other antiqueing.
