Hello to all my dear friends, first of all I would like to inform you that, given the great interest and success of my exhibition at the Museu Nacional dos Coches, which was supposed to have finished last February, I was asked to be the same until the month of May. So those friends who did not have the opportunity to visit, now have more of this opportunity, and exchange some impressions with me about these works, because I am there every Sunday all day, and admission is free until 2 pm. and also following these meetings a group of friends and enthusiasts of this hobye, during one of the visits asked me to show how I do the construction of the lamps, and for them in particular here are the photos of this work that I had promised, I hope they stay to understand all the details that we had spoken, if you have any questions do not hesitate to ask me any questions, greetings to all.

PANHARD & LEVASSOR

Hello to all my friends, as I had promised, today I will make known my new project, the famous Panhard & Levassor, a very interesting work to which I could not be indifferent, because of what he has of historical interest, he was the first car that came to Portugal in 1895, brought from France by Count Jorge de Avilêz, it was also the transition between the car pulled by horses and the car, itself said to have been also the first actor in a car accident , while running a donkey on the route from Lisbon to Santiago do Cacém.This historic car is on display at the National Museum of Cars, in perfect condition, together with their older brothers, the coaches.
At the request of some friends, for being one of the most difficult parts to do I will start this construction by the wheels, which are still like wagon wheels, with iron hoops, I hope you enjoy and enjoy this compilation more.

 In these photos you can see the various stages of construction of the wheels.
