We’re still scheming on the right sign/install/identifier for the front of our building. For now, we enjoy hiding our world behind this simple glass door. Come see if you can find us and see what we have inside.

Oct, 12Hourglass Couch
Last year we made an hourglass base for a customer that ended up receiving some surprising accolades in the web community. I sat and thought of other ways I could use this design and came up with a couch. The prototype didn’t really work out, It didn’t have enough lines so I went back to the drawing table (my keyboard and mouse) and after days of measuring and sketching (song inspiration while drawing this: Connan Mockasin) came up with this.
When I took this drawing into the metal shop my welder looked at me funny and went to work. When the frame was done it sat in the office for months waiting for a color selection. I wanted to do it in so many colors and fabrics that it took almost a quarter of a year to make up my mind – I had to get a few restaurant jobs out of the way so that I could focus on it. I chose a Colonial red and used old military ponchos for the upholstery. Click the link for more photos. (more…)

Oct, 12Safety First!
We keep a little prop in the shop to remind everyone..safety is no joke. Tools are fun to work with, and humans can build amazing things, but it gets exponentially more complicated if you don’t have an arm to do it with. Safety First, Always!
