What a great work set up- being surrounded by tables; always a place to set parts down and get everything laid out.

Motormeister could have done it faster, with less parts and more oil burning!

Canepa Design's workshop is quite a place...every project is kept precisely organized as the work progresses. That proverbial measure of cleanliness, "You-could-eat-off-the-floor", applies here. I'm always inspired to better organize my own projects after seeing how it's done over there.

rcooled's pics tell the story.

Looks like a church pot luck without the kids. Space and organization free the mind.

That was cool. Thanks.

If they can do that in 4 minutes, I'm afraid to ask their hourly rate. ��
