Equipment and tools
Because Niki and I were the only owners of HUNT ENGINEERING, we have transferred all of the equipment to our ownership, leaving it available for me to use in my consultancy projects.
I have listed it here for no other reason that it helps you to see what capabilities I might have close at hand. Of course if we embark on a project that needs something that neither of us has at hand there are always rental companies that can help us.
