A couple weeks ago, Mike Clarke from FOTS stopped by the workshop and brought some issues of his Show Class Mag. I met Mike years ago when he worked at Little Devil for those of you who remember when they had the warehouse and the sickest bowl setup. Anyway Mike’s a good dude so if you get a chance to get out to ride to skate this year make sure to pick up an issue and a calendar. Cycles and babes… good stuff.

Issue 2 features some photos from our friend Mike Persico.

Yep… you can tell I was bored today.
Ryan and I are doing a collab on the cast-salvage website, and it won’t be finished for about a month.
For the meantime I threw together this semi-cheezy, yet semi-fun animation as a placeholder until we get the real site together.

Just a little jQuery and CSS3 animation.
Check it out HERE.

Our friend George donated these old manuals to the shop last week. I really like the graphic design and photography in these old things. How cool is this dude’s helmet!

Woah… FULL color!

Ricky and I picked up this Clausing model# 1670 drill press with a Baldor motor from an auction over the weekend. She’s a real deal drilling machine.

I really like the simple detail of the riveted badges proudly displaying where they were made.

We’ve been cleaning, oiling, and checking over the entire machine and noticed that the chuck spins slightly off center. After removing the pressed on jacobs chuck it appears the spindle doesn’t sit absolutely straight. Hopefully with some more investigation she’ll be true and ready for some serious speed hole drilling.
