It’s spring and everything has gone a bit choo-choo. While the sun graces us with its brief presence any excuse to spend some time outside and away from the studio is jumped at. Nothing beats a hard days toil outdoors getting down and dusty while perfecting the farmers tan. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working with the Snakeskin Jacket fellas; Henry, Dean and James at their workshop off Brick Lane on the restoration of a Victorian train carriage.
Model Train by Dean Slydell
The train project has been talked about for the better half of a year. It was on, it was off, dates kept getting moved and torturous silences ensued before delivery was finally set. When it finally arrived, it was like Christmas morning to a bunch of boys and has been one of the main topics of conversation since this beautiful teak and solid oak steel bolted wonder came into our lives.
