If you have ever swung by to visit us, you may have heard the sound of “ting”, “ting”, “whap”, “thunk” & “pop” as we let off some steam while playing Ping Pong. It’s a complete passion for most of the peeps here. A passion almost as great as the creative passion they give forth each day.

Imagine how stoked they were when the opportunity presented itself to merge the two passions together-to custom design & build a table for the upcoming Ping Pong tourney to be held inside the YARD at this years SIA show.

Today all the creative work & hand-crafting came together when it was fully assembled for the first time-(to moments later be taken apart & thrown into a crate to make its way to Las Vegas). Here are just a few teaser images. We’ll show her off in all of her complete glory next week from the road. Check back!

Thanks Al!

As many of you may have noticed, our beloved Skip has not been reporting lately due to being out with a bout of pneumonia. We wish him the best and hope he can bless us with his words of wisdom very soon. In the meantime Big Al has been filing Skip’s shoes quite well. Al thanks for the help around here and your attention to meticulous details, is very similar to “little miss picky” (Anne, one of our carpenters). Thanks for getting in where you fit in.

Remember your Airborne, Emergen-C or whatever else keeps you healthy, or else you’ll end up congested like Styk.
