Thank Stefan
As for the first week of business things are going well. Setup a temporary work space in the study. Gets a little crowded when the son decides to play Minecraft. Although this is one of the reasons I went in to business for myself, to spend more time with my son.
Completed my first service job on an 8" dobsonian, mirror need cleaning, some moisture removed from the finder, bit of a paint job and new rubber on the focuser knobs.
I am also in the process of purchasing lathe and milling machine which with a bit of luck will be installed in the next week or so. Once I have these two items setup I can do a lot more like complete the repairs on Melvin's Orion 15x70 and make tool required for binocular repairs.
As for the web site it is slowly coming together the Contact page is fully functional so if you have any enquires feel free to contact me.
The web address is
