Happy New Year, Makers!It was another very quiet week around Baker HQ as our staff wrapped up a holiday break and prepared to return to full production next week. This crew of hardworking folks really doesn’t take much time off to begin with, so this holiday-season break is both deserved and appreciated before we launch into an aggressive campaign in 2026. Our auctions over Christmas break were a huge hit and we had a blast hyping some unique and rare one-offs for the week. Congrats to those of you who won pieces from the auction– we’re stoked about the future for our auctions and can’t wait to blow your mind with weird and cool test pieces coming down the pipe!
Just before taking off last week, we got the entire staff in on a BIG Gator Piss re-stock, mixing several new pallets of all three of our hit etchants. With plenty of stock now available,
we're kicking off the new year with EVERYTHING you need for a flawless finish, every time! Check the reel and photo carousel Waylon caught during the restock for a little insiders-preview of the restock process!
With a new year in mind, Coy brought the heat this week. A brand new layout on the very first weekend of 2026?! Ummm.. yes, please! Check out all the details below and don’t miss out on this insane new one from the forge!
Inside the Media
It’s quiet around the media team with Waylon down south visiting family for the holidays. I miss talking with all the guys daily but I’m glad everyone’s getting a chance to catch their breath before we hit the ground HARD next week. Soon it’ll be Blade Show ATL preparations, new apparel and sticker designs. Happy New Year, catch ya’ll next week!
