''Workshop Log-book'' ... now you've set the cat among the pigeons.
I scribble numbers and sketches etc. as I work through a repair or restoration but these are never preserved for anyone's benefit in the future. How many of us have re-visited a set and wondered what we did to it the first time around!
It occurs to me that I really should maintain a log of everything I do with the old sets I'm currently acting as custodian for. On reflection it seems that the log is every bit as important and useful as having the set working. We owe it to those who will look after these sets in the future and of course the positive impact on the safety of all concerned should not be underestimated.
I wonder how many of us actually keep detailed log of everything they do during a repair or restoration.
