The shop was busy today as we troweled our magic concrete mix over four more arches for the bowling alley. There was two buckets of the magical mix left over and so I troweled it onto the post for the Spring Horse Farm sign. Then at just the right moment we sculpted the curing mud into plaster, rocks and bricks. The post mud was made to look like some gnarly twisted wood grain. It's all in a day's work. there was still time for a little designing, a little painting and some welding too.
Like flying to a tropical paradise
We've only been back a few days since the IAAPA EXPO but already we are starting to dream up ideas for projects for people we contacted at the show. Dreaming up cool projects is a whole lot of fun. Anything we can imagine is possible at this early stage. Soon enough, the reality of budgets, timelines and a hundred other things will come into play. For now though it is simply a matter of dreaming, and scribbling down the ideas as fast as they come - and that is pretty quick. It's like flying to a tropical paradise!
Full to the brim
Each time the shop fills to the literal bursting point some pieces are declared finished. Then we swing open the giant shop doors and pull the finished pieces outside to make room for more new magic inside. Today ten of the bowling alley arches were moved into the empty foot long shipping container. The finished pieces will stay in the shipping container until we have enough to fill a semi truck and then they will be sent down the road to Ontario and their new home. Meanwhile we began work on a whole bunch of other pieces. In a short while the shop will be even fuller than before!
