Just thought some of you might be interested in seeing what goes into setting up a fab shop. :)

How we got the place:

My brother's stang. Putting a cage in as soon as I'm set up, then hopefully going to turbo it.

Once we finished the Mezz, I had to test it! :D

In other news, I'm really really happy with the way the mezz came out. Especially considering we have never worked with wood before. We made the stairs from scratch, and they came out a million times better than I imagined!

Painted the showroom, added a little bit of my love for the city into it. Taped this out really quickly as a thought, and decided to just paint it!
