It is on Lionshead, just off of San Marcos Blvd/Palomar airport road  Very close to the San Marcos, Carlsbad, Vista border.  This museum was founded by the owner of Sherline.  It started in the factory and moved to it's current location not that long ago.  As I tell all of my modeling friends, whenever I get to feeling a bit smug about my modeling, I go over there for a serious dose of humble!  The place is full of great projects and thing to inspire you to get back to the bench.  They also have a lot of outstanding machinist who are more than willing to answer your "how to" questions.  No secrets in the museum!
