Fantastic. More patience than I would have.

Forget the product, look at the craftsmanship.

Great post. I hate to think what one of those sells for. ...edit: Wiki suggests around 60,000 pounds ($AU 160,000) with a 2-3 year wait...:C


Timeless craftsmanship.

Probably!?! :oo: Probably more than a top line BMW! That is an amazing video, thanks for posting the link Schtoo. :2tsup: It's wonderful to know that craftspeople are still trained to do that sort of work by hand.

Cheers,

Anyone reading this should sit down with a cuppa and watch this..(it's long, but worth it)
Absolutely outstanding craftmanship.
Attention to detail bought to a new level by these people, the skill and dedication is awe-inspiring

Now now Al. You betray the good people of Melbourne who always think that culture is the domain of Melbournians in this country :D
