A machine shop, still
For forty years the corner unit on Foundry Street turned brass fittings on two lathes. We kept the workbench, the steel shelving and the habit of measuring twice.
Lathe & Lather has three chairs and three barbers. Every appointment is booked with enough time to do the job without watching the clock, and every haircut ends with a hot towel.
