Our new location in progress

[thinksigns]

Warts 'n all day one photo. The day of the move, last Wednesday, was day 1 of strep throat. I'm lucky I got this much moved in. The family was a big help.

I'm most excited about the two new 6' x 10' tables (on wheels). The space is open, so they don't look that big in the photo. I need to send Brody to the end of the pulpit to give it some scale.

Having a substrate storage space close to where the delivery, cutting and prep helps. Having a logical way to store boards and scraps pieces, keeping the coroplast, PVC seperate from the wood, metal, etc. Also a shelving area for paint, glues, all prep tools etc. Biggest thing here is keeping the computers, etc. away from where substrates are cut, sanded or sprayed. And...keeping the customers confined to a display/meeting area. Got a thumbs up from my insurance man by keeping the prep zone away from the customers.

A carpenter buddy of mine built the tables for me. He also built a material rack that is in the back room with the panel saw. I'll put up more pics as we get things settled.

nice shop but hate the green! blah, makes it a lot darker in there to me

 

[thinksigns]

The green is part of the brand now. In person, most people love it.

I probably would have ran the green around the store from the floor up about 2' in a stripe, the rest blue--get the whole ground perception thing working for you and use the brand colors. It's a bit distracting as is but congrats on the new space, I hope it works well for you.

We finally got everything moved in and samples installed. It's not entirely how I want it, but it is good enough for now.

Very nice! I especially like the pool table in the back room. Billiards after work?

Great idea!

I'm not any good, but if I need a break from designing, maybe it will help me come back refreshed.

Just so long as you shoot the balls and not start throwing them around.

Place looks great !!

Very nice man! I love the large flatscreen on the wall and the huge projector screen!

My only comment is with all that expansive green, it may have been pretty cool to do custom wall paper or a print instead of paint, even if it's just a very subtle texture/abstract background, I think it may have added some depth and would have shown off another product.

Very nice shop!

 

[signswi]

The true-scale projector is an interesting idea!
