Here’s the second installment from our friends Denis and Adam in Oregon. The first installment is on YouTube as well. Funny noses optional.
Note: These vids are not an actual how-to for building kits. They were made some time ago, and the guys are working in their garage from an old manual, so they may be using techniques that we don’t use anymore, or perhaps never did use, but we love to watch them!
Who wants to have some fun? Saturday March 13th from 6- 9pm, we’ll be opening the shop for tours, showing some classic surf films on the big screen and displaying some of the fascinating artwork of our friend Dug. If you don’t know Dug or his art, this is a great chance to step into his head and see things as only he can. This will be his first public appearance since his newly debuted “The Dug Show” on Get In The Van.
Invite your friends. We’ll have some food and drinks on hand, so don’t be late cause it won’t last. We look forward to seeing you then.
I found myself working alone in the shop this afternoon. Brad was out on the island, John was home with strep throat and Nolan had left early for the mountains. While I think I can speak for the whole shop when I say how much we enjoy the social aspect of working together, it is nice to have some quiet time to really get some work done… just you, your spokeshave and a little Steely Dan. While making my rounds before leaving for the day, checking that the iron is off, the heat is turned down and the compressor is unplugged, it occurred to me just how darn cool this place is. So I thought I’d walk around and snap some quick photos with my phone to show you some of the things we see on a daily basis. All in all, 5 kits packed and ready for UPS, somewhere around 15 boards in various states of construction, and our beloved Pug in the shop for final touches before our next demo tour (East Coast here we come).
