At My Grandpa’s Workshop, we seek to ensure that the human expertise acquired over thousands of years of making things in wood and metal, is not lost to modern computerised technology. Many people will be delighted when a small component of an engine or a piece of old furniture can still be handmade.
The home hobbyist can learn woodworking skills or find help with a tricky bit of machining. The boat or model builder can have a specialised fitting made to complete their project and the antique car restorer can have an out of production part crafted anew – all at My Grandpa’s Workshop, where customised craftmanship is our specialty.
