This shop is full of stories. That's what happens when you take a bunch of mad geniuses and give them tools, toys, materials, and booze: great things, each of which has a great story. We're usually too busy kicking out the things to stop and tell their stories. But we've got this new guy who thinks he can help us tell them, so we're gonna let him try. (Go easy on him; he's new.)
So here's where we'll let the stories out. Watch this space for behind-the-scenes photos, mini-profiles of our awesome artists, DIY tips, and drunken ramblings about the joy of creating art.

| Bekki Young, Shop Director |
So let's meet Bekki!
She's our Shop Director, and she has been kicking ass here since 2013. If you've placed an order, Bekki has touched it. She assigns every project to the artisan most suited to create it. When stuff hits the fan, she jumps in to fix it firsthand, troubleshooting challenges in the production process and building things when time allows.
Bekki also does the brilliant handpainting for custom orders and special products, including winebots like the KISS band and Tiki collection, and one of a kind barrel heads like our shop's 9/11 tribute. Bekki says her work is inspired by the other artists at the shop, and credits madman Keith for his creative genius in breathing life into winebots and other barrel ring products.
Hey, we're going to be doing this at least once a week. You ought to come back and see us every so often. Anything you want to see? Leave your questions and requests in the comments and we'll do what we can to show off what we're up to. Welcome to the madness!
