Professional model shop tour

[IWannaRetire]

After studying the categories, I was still not sure where to put this so moderators please move appropriately.

While reading Michael Hohn's Winter Challenge-Feed Mill thread, I read mention of modeler George Pierson, and so I went down that WorldWideWabbit hole, and as things go down the WWW, it led to this site:

please note that the below site is designated NOT secure!

http://www.progressivemodeldesign.com/index.htm

One of their pages is "Studio and Equipment" and for guys like me who like to look at other modeler's workbenches, it's totally engaging.

Not sure of this forum's policies on links to unsecure sites, so rather than link to it, the image below is a screen capture.

There are other photos of their 7,000 foot work area on their "Studio and Equipment " page.

"Not secure" has two common meanings:  Either the site is using unencrypted HTTP, or its security certificate for encrypted HTTPS is out of date or not from a well-known certificate issuer.  The site Mark shows is using unencrypted HTTP.  My browser has an add-on that blocks active content (Javascript, usually, Flash and Java in the past) by default, and that's the path almost all attacks use, so I just took a look.  It was done in M$ Office and two pages I checked have no obvious attacks.

Yeah, a lot of days "security advisories" are just "you're not coming from/being hosted by one of the big cloud servers that we pre-trust."  I get that a lot with my email address (I've had since 1985), which somehow Microsoft has decided is untrustworthy.  (Grebyn.com is a lot older than Microsoft.com, but they're too big to care.)

Including Wayne Wesolowski!

He's one of my favorite authors.  He and his wife published several books back in the '80s, including one on scratch building.  He's still publishing magazine articles in MRR and Narrow Gauge Gazette, and maybe others that I don't read.  He even has a Wikipedia page:
