Overview

The Stanley Workshop is a follow-up to the Henley House Project.

The name is to honour my paternal grandfather, Stanley Weeks, whom I never got to meet, but I think I received my builder/maker genes from.

The workshop was built to store the tools leftover from the building of the Henley House and to have a space to make.
