Recently did some small modifications to the surf shop.. made a single glassing room upstairs for now.
this keeps all the sanding and major mess with dust in the bottom part of the shop.
This modification greatly reduces any contamination from dust and the like. I would like to add another glassing station upstairs, along with some finished board storage areas on the side.
Along with glassing. The station upstairs provides a great place to paint and do small other projects..
This next summer I hope to have a the outside of the surf shop upgraded with more storage and a finer look.. even though everybody seems to like the Pacific North Western Washington woods shop look... But this has been a long run for me.. Wen I first started work the shop was covered in weeds blackberry's and totally over run. All the way up to the gutters.. No floor.. rats mice ,,, and who knows what els..
Many years have gone by since the first idea of building surfboards and the such in Washington. Times and people have come and gone,.,., Things have changed so much from the first days of dreaming... 1990 building skim boards and such in Port Townsend WA. skate boarding downtown hitching rides on car bumpers.. Some of the first to bring plywood to the now PT skate park...
I have met buckets full of great people and have received great advice, personal and work related. As the days have past, my ideas of what this shop may become or the wave that we ride together are constantly changing,, the constant evolution of my work surf board and water craft related allows my eyes to remain open to new ideas and ways of thinking....
Thank you all for your support and advice.... Nothing would be possible without your help...
