Local Delivery Service -- Trapani Centro
I deliver anything that fits in my bike panniers (when the bike works) or I carry it on foot. Groceries, packages, bakery orders, documents. I know every street in Trapani centro -- every shortcut, every one-way street, every doorbell code that doesn't work. Same-day delivery within the old town. For bigger loads or when the bike is broken (often), I walk. Still faster than the post office.

This workshop covers basic optics, lens grinding principles, and why bifocals work. Tip: The best inventions solve annoyances, not emergencies.
Lens Grinding Kit (Optical, Beginner)
Everything you need to grind and polish your own optical lens. Glass blanks, grinding compounds, polishing pitch, a simple grinding jig. I ground my own lenses in Padua. It takes patience and steady hands. The reward is a lens that you made, that sees what no human eye can see alone.
