Today, was an exciting day in our shop as we unloaded a very large order of steel and fired up the MultiCam CNC plasma cutter to create some cool shapes. The first pieces were the dragon head and tail for the shipwreck which is part of the feature for the Viking target practice.
Running business errands in style
Whenever I travel to the USA I get asked how we manage to survive the long cold winters in Canada. The truth is that in the southwest corner of Canada where we choose to live we don't get much winter. It can occasionally snow but it doesn't last long when it does. In the last two winters I haven't had to plow our driveway once and I love any excuse to get on our trusty tractor to do the job. This past year has been particularly mild. I mowed the lawn for the first time in mid-January and now have to mow it twice a week to keep up with the lush growth. In the last few days the the local farmers have started to harvest the first cut of grass from the fields. Yesterday was the first day of a good long stretch of sun and warm temps promised by the weatherman. I couldn't resist putting the half doors on the Jeep and pulling off the top. It was a pleasure to run some business errands in town today with a high of 26 C (78.8 F) on the truck thermometer. The surrounding high mountains still sport a beautiful coat of snow and it is unbelievably beautiful!.
Weapons to fight for
We have such an incredible team. It is so fun to watch them take a basic idea and then plus it to be much, much more than I imagined. With each step these features got better and better. Today as the final patinas and highlights were brushed onto the weapons they came alive in an awesome way. They are truly weapons worth fighting for!
