New Paint for the Chambersburg & Project for a Bomb Squad! TFN
Things looked a little different around Baker HQ this week as we hosted a crew of electricians assisting with the hookup of several new machines. With the new power hammer resting upright on its foundation, we shifted focus to air lines and electric hook-ups as we face the final stretch with a well-over a year installation process.

Happy Friday, Makers! This week came with a big shuffle as the entire Baker Forge family awaited the arrival of a new baby, Juliet Rae Baker.

Hottest Week of the Year, Sam Returns, & RipTide ULTRA in a New Pattern! TFN
A sweltering Friday to close out one of the hotter weeks of the summer so far. Surprisingly, (and maybe due to their longtime commitment to this occupation), we didn’t hear much b*tching from Will and the Blacksmith team. But with forges running and production moving, it hasn’t been the easiest week around Baker HQ. We’ll cross our fingers that this heat wave is the height of our summer struggles and a cool Appalachian Autumn is just around the corner. A familiar face is bac

The weather has been wildly inconsistent around our neck of the woods these last few weeks. You never know if it’ll be another wet, cool day or the sun might come out and BAM it feels like 100 degrees in the HQ. Regardless, you only have to make it through one warm season around here and we won’t be caught complaining about it. Besides, when the sun IS shining it’s one amazing, green place to live!
