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…

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.

Lincoln 003 & 004 ship out!

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.

Burke Table progress

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.

Lincoln 005

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

The Burke Table continues…

Started the top while finishing the legs. Using an excellent workshop to build the top – Studioworks of Milwaukee. Thanks to my friend, Sean Mizer, for letting me take some space there. The thing is just too big for the basement.
