WCC: "So I took a sheet of aluminum over to the english wheel and the planishing hammer and made a fender.

The only good thing about OCC is they spent a ton on Next Day Air shipping. Thanks for those tight deadlines, guys.

Chip is an incredible artist. Ever watch him just whip out those concept pictures? His finished product is always tasteful, unlike some other shows.

Speaking of other shows. For some reason I catch myself watching Fast and Loud and I always end up yelling at the half-ass work they do.
