Progress! A little at a time and eventually all will be ready!

Today I worked on the shop! My brother Chuck helped a Huge amount today too. we took down the amazing and scary looking florescent light fixtures my dad Made in 1976, and began to get the ceiling ready for the new fixtures, Some I am making :) and some we will be buying. There are a lot of very nice steampunk/victorian looking fixture designs, but also I am cutting large gears to be sortof like big wagon wheel chandeliers, but instead of wagon wheels they will be Gears!. I also got inspired with some extra painting i think i might want to do... no more spoilers!
here are some photos of what happened today:

Gears drawn

Gears cut- 2 of 4, still have 2 to go, but by the time I'm done I will be an expert gear cutter!

My Dad's lovely light fixtures, and a fan- Must go!

Now you see them, now you don't! 2 fixtures and a fan taken down with no casualties except i think Chuck knocked some bark off his thumb.

we will see what else gets done this trip...

Rough year, but things are looking up!

It has been A Very Long Time since I updated this blog and for that I apologize, Lucky Day Hats fans. Let me tell you in brief its been a rough year, My lovely man has been very sick off and on all year, with him ending up in the hospital for an emergency lung thing after pneumonia, believe it or not things are finally looking much better!

Weve got a date for the grand opening...and we will start pushing out the announcements in the next few months. 

So weve been working on the shop in between trips to the Dr. getting some painting done, and many new ideas, it is going to look a lot different than where it started, thats for certain. Here are a few new transition photos:
