The New Hot Rod

I completed construction on the Hot Rod repair.
The table is better than before and I’m excited
for my customer to get it back.

Reengineering the Hot Rod

FedEx trashed my Hot Rod table, so I got it back
and I’m fixing it – making it a better table. I actually
like it better than before. Some pics so far…

Over halfway on the Burke.

The table so far. Really excited about seeing coming together.

Burke is shaping up

You know when they say it’s the journey and NOT the destination? I understand that phrase quite well when walking down this path. While I’m thrilled to see the end, going there is interesting, educational and a whole lot of fun. I feel like a better man when I work on this table.

Off to Ripley’s. I’ll miss these boys. Big thanks to the FedEx dude and my pal, Sean Mizer. Couldn’t have done it without them.

This baby is humming right along. I love it.
I love the people, the table and the process.

Gallery Night

Took two of my pieces to Studio Lounge in Bay View this past week for a Gallery Night show – which will be up for 2 months. Abe rode on top of the van and El Che was cozy and warm inside. The kids came along.

Love doing these hoods. And I’ve cultivated
a nice working relationship with Ol Abe.

Lotta cool ideas out there

Recycled piano as workbench. Nice.
