Chris - I am so impressed with how much you have expanded and updated your tools and working space. It is a real testament to your commitment to keep developing your skills, and continually improve on the beautiful work you do!
Congratulations on an outstanding shop and tool array. I learned years ago, the quality of your tools directly impacts the quality of the job. Keep up the good work 😎
Chris, you are an incredible craftsman and engineer among other things..I have followed your work for quite a while and I have been impressed since the beginning...-John
When I finished my trade as a panel beater I went and worked restoring rare racing cars which were crated to us from all over the world. Cars like D Type Jaguars, Le Manns winning 917 Porsche, Gull wing Mercs, Maserati 300S’s and many more. I was also invited to work at Rolls Royce making prototypes but in the end I became a trade teacher which was very rewarding. I can tell you this shop is incredibly well setup and you Chris are as good as I’ve seen. I tip my hat to you young man as you build your business around your mastery.
I remember back in the day when you started putting this stuff together and of course your first car. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to see individual creativity of this calibre from such a young mind. Here is wishing you the very best in everything you do and looking forward to watching you achieve the success you deserve.
Always great to see behind the scenes, thanks Chris. But I have to say I didn't know that you built your own custom chassis, I just assumed [incorrectly] that you farmed that out. It would be great to see some video footage of the process of building a Runge chassis. Cheers from Downunder!!!
Super sanitary setup! Lifetime craftsman and process junkie here, just love your design approach and that wonderful shop, thank you for sharing your work in this video. 👊🏼🤠
Car design and furniture design go hand in hand! I love seeing auto influences I furniture. I’ve sketched a couch that uses the mechanicals of a six way power bench seat: up/down, forward/back, and tilt. Mid century modern style. At 77yo I’ll probably never build it. Too many on-going motorcycle projects to have time.
One little tidbit to car guys / reapairers / manufacturers, amazon seems to be selling counterfeit merch and a high rate now. I ever tried to buy a bussman fuse and it says aurora on it, did some checking and there is an aurora fuse company in s. Korea.
WHY DO YOU INSIST ON TORURING YOURSELF BY WORKING ON THE GROUND? LIFT UP THE PLATFORM AND SAVE YOUR BODY! YOU DON'T WANT TO BE 60 AND NOT ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR SPINE OUT! FOR A REALLY TALENTED CRAFTSMAN, YOU'RE NOT TOO SMART.....
It makes me happy that quality tools have found a talented craftsman to use them.

Ron, Coming from you that means a whole lot!!...Really awesome and I agree with you wholeheartedly!!-John

I can't believe that English wheel is from the 70's, was thinking turn of the century. Great shop, great products.

Amazing walkthrough. Chris doesn't upload much so its nice to see the entire workshop.
Beautiful workshop & a love for tools/equipment. Mine is similar but not as tidy!
Great to see behind the scenes of your shop.

Ok so where did you get that surface plate, I need one
GREAT VIDEO FOR SURE
The shop itself is a work of art.
tHanks for the video

Outstanding
I built my chassis on my garage floor, it too is perfectly flat & level😉
Me too
Thank you for the tour! Better than Santa's workshop.
I grew up practically in the shadow of the Peck, Stow, & Wilcox factory complex in the 60s and 70s

Right?!! 🤷♂👁👁

Wish i was a youngster again, I would love to give it ago.
Respectfully...plural of radius is radii... not radiuses. Just saying.
