Equipment
Sometimes creative making requires the right equipment…and the SoVA shop is packed with an extensive selection of hand and power tools. The shop facilities also include a dust collection system and downdraft tables for woodworking activities, several exhaust hoods for welding operations and a spray booth for painting and finishing.
Art...in the making.
The flash of sparks. The smell of sawn wood. The sound of ringing hammers. It's art[work].
