Yes it was Keith. I did some work for a porsche race car owned by guy who is the sales director for Derbi Uk. Turns out he was quite a racer back in the day with a couple of 250gp wild card rides and he put me in contact with Keith.
Keith turned out to be a great guy and gave me lots of good advice.

Any pics of the CNC machine that you use to make all these trick bits?

What type of TIG have you got?

What type of tube bender?

ps. I love the black and white chequer tiles. Have you managed to crack any yet? I did think about doing my garage like that.
