New Shop
So i the past month and a half we've undergone the joys of moving our shop 230 miles north to Boyne City, MI and it has been one hell of a ride. We've had tons of issues with our new building from getting electricity re-connected (http://sccskis.com/2011/07/problems-wit ... e-factory/) to making it handicap accessible. It was a long July but we're almost done with our renovations/partitions and should be building by next week.
Here are some pics of what we've been up to.
The plan
Drywall up
Insulation between press room and office
Back of woodshop area
Press room with window to office
Office
Showroom
Window from showroom to tuning/grinding room
I'll put more pics up as we start placing our tools and should have a video tour in the next few weeks.

@skidesmond yeah, it was extremely frustrating dealing with the electric company, but fortunately for us that blog post found it's way to Consumers Energy customer service and we had electricity the following Tuesday (post went up on a Friday). It's pretty amazing how it circled and we even had their regional manager call a apologize a ton.
Anyways, we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel! The shop is back up and ready to start working. We've been working on the finishing touches for the past few days and it finally is just about done.
Laying carpet in the showroom
The shop dog testing out the new carpet
Prep room for base, edges, topsheet, etc
Storage area
Tool storage/packaging area
Grinding room, now we just need to find space for our robot (Microjet) in this shop.
Always have to have some decent music while working.
Sorting a few cores

Hey Jeff, I enjoyed visiting your shop for the open house yesterday, looks like you and your dad have been working your asses off. So many great tools, looks like you guys are really getting your processes down.
Your product looks great. Looking forward to skiing with you guys this year!
Best of luck with your new venture.
see you soon, art

We're really bad about updating this stuff...
But here's what we've been doing. Today we shaped 50 pair of cores (finally made a dent in our seemingly never ending pile).
Over the past week we also made about 12 new cassettes.
We need more storage for cores!
50 Pair that we shaped today
Getting sidewalls ready
New cassettes
Moved around the office. Sorry for the horrible panorama
And finally after moving around too many shops with us in Denver and lower Michigan then finally to Boyne City, our Wintersteiger Microjet Pro will be doing our grinding. Just hit the bases on a manual belt grinder (we now have 2 Monty's, 1 Fontaine, and 1 Wintersteiger) and send it to the robot. We can program the grinding pressure and number of passes with the belt and stone, it's amazing what the thing can do! Video of it grinding skis coming soon.
