Starting up my own business.
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 12 5:10 pm
After more than 30 years in the advertising game I've decided that I've had enough and I've started up my own business doing what I enjoy more than anything else.................and that's restoring things.
I've been doing it in my spare time for a couple of years now, for no other reason than I just love doing it. Some of you may remember me converting a knackered 1930s pinball machine into a coffee table??
I happened to show a picture of it to one of the guys I used to work with and he almost begged me to sell it to him.....which got me thinking that I could possibly make a living out of it.
Well I've got another six machines that need the same treatment along with a considerable amount of other items that are all waiting to be restored.
I'll be restoring and selling items that could almost be termed 'Unique'. This is a typical example - an early 1950's fairground rocket which is progressing slowly but well. I'll post more pictures of the resto as it progresses.
