My current workshop is the fifth! The first was a kitchen table, second a tin shed, the third a huge section of an old wool mill at Lobethal, the fourth an old storage barn for the first floor mill at Nairne, South Australia.

Number 5 takes me a 20 second walk to work. It's smaller but efficient and easier in which to work, with much better lighting. The view is west towards the sea amongst grey box with prolific bird life.

Eight photovoltaic panels.   Installing the inverter.

I have installed an array of photovoltaic panels. This gives more than enough electricity to make instruments and will supply some of our domestic consumption as well.
