New Year! New Shop! New Tools! Un Nuevo Día!
Hola amig@s!
Sir Maldoror here, hoping everyone is finishing the year in great spirits, and are getting ready for another cycle. The Slowcraft Maldoror Shop/Taller has been busy with infrastructural work. My Santee shop was closed in September, and I started working on getting everything ready for my new work space. The new space is much smaller, but my overheard cost will be reduced significantly. I’ll start posting photos of the new space once the flooring is complete, we are still at 45%, since we needed to start the foundation from scratch! My electrician will also rewire the space since I’ve got some new tools to help to get the job done.
New tools:
210 Gallon Air Compressor.
Union Carbide Linde UCC-305 TIG/Stick welder…a 900lb behemoth.
Custom Made for Slowcraft Maldoror Fork Fixture. Now I’ll be able to braze forks, and rear triangles.
Standridge 24″ x 36″ x 4″ granite table at .0005″ flatness, with new tooling, and stand.
Wilton Vises, and much more tooling and fixturing.
In the prototype phase still is a new Slowcraft Maldoror Vertical frame fixture. This is going to be sweet, less space and precision fixturing. Also, molds and benders for radical radi metal crafting: fenders, racks, gas tanks, cages, etc.
Also, since our digital media department is still in R & D phase, we are continuing to focus on PRINT MEDIA: I will be posting photos of our new brochure exhibited at the SD Custom Bicycle Show. These were printed by Florence Ashford at Bay Park Press. She does superior letterpress printing and design work, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to have her do my brochures.
Please inquire about our brochure, we can send one to you snail mail. Please keep in mind that these are extremely limited, and they are going fast. I’ve got numbers 30-78, of 145 left.
Con esto en mente, cerramos. Tenemos mucho de que conversar asi que por favor esten atentos a la blogga. Estos son nuevos tiempos, nuevos dias, y nos hemos llenado de energía. Hay tanto trabajo que hacer que no hemos podido terminar todo; taller, tesis doctoral, trabajo comunitario, folletines, familia, amor…etc. Asi que, adelante!
Reciban un fuerte abrazo de,
Sir Maldoror.
