Welcome 2010!


New Year's Bike-Rack


Howdy All,

Sam here. I suppose keeping a Blog is similar to cooking a good meal: keep it fresh. Sorry for a couple of months of leftovers.

We have been cranking away here in 'The Sandbox.' I'll post some fun pictures in a couple of weeks when we shoot for the North American Handbuilt Bike Show book of pretty pictures and words. Until then, these will have to suffice.

All of a sudden it is the end of the year; the end of the decade and, arguably, the end of our start-up period. Generally I will indulge myself in retrospective critique and doggy paddle around in memories of glories past. This year I'm thinking only of the promise, fun and the truly rewarding work I have to look forward to when I get back form visiting family for a few days. And the people! The wonderful, creative, dedicated, fun people who have graced our shop and who we have met along the way this past year I get to know better this year and meet, in all likelihood, even more.

I feel so blessed to be in a business where I get up every morning and want to go in to work and make beautiful things for and with wonderful people and, hopefully, make the world a better place for it. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible in the past year and who will continue to in 2010.

John, myself and our families wish you a fun, creative, prosperous and healthy new year.

Now its off to ring in the New Year family style!

Peace,

Sam
