Airstream Workshop

In late 2013, I found out that my landlord was going to be selling the house we were renting to a family member in early 2015. I was also running out of space in my home workshop, and with one toddler running around and another child on the way, I needed a better workshop. But, I didn’t want to put down a building on land I didn’t own, and I also didn’t want to pay rent for a space in town. So I decided to get the classiest thing I could find on wheels and turn it into a saxophone repair shop.

So I purchased a vintage Airstream trailer - a 31 footer - and set to work turning it into a saxophone repair shop. I have now been using it as my full-time workshop since November 2013, and I continue to make improvements.

I did it all myself with no prior experience, so the next one will be better :-)
