My friend Matteo helps Building I-ESON.

My friend Matteo Brivio decided to help me building the Great Lakes.
He offered to visit my workshop every tuesday night to help building everything under process.

He found himself very enthusiast not only in vintage aircraft, but also in all the technics involved in the construction of such an airplane, particularly sheet metal working.
His grandfather is a retired car body restorer and Matteo believes hsi passion for hammering is printed into his DNA...

BTW, it's funny and very useful to have him every tuesday night. I'm now able to plan better the building scheduling and progresses are, off course, faster.
He nicknamed us as "tuesday's two"; the tuesday night at the workshop is now a fix date in the week plan, and I'm glad to share this with a friend.
In italy, homebuilders are very rare and share this passion with somebody so close is a good thing.

At the end of the working night, we are used to go to get some "smoking" croissant directly from the shop they are cooked for early morning's breakfast.
