New Layouts & Production at FULL Steam! TFN

This week was one of those barely-talk-to-your-coworkers, head down, hustle kind of weeks for pretty much everyone around Baker. With the holiday season creeping closer and the new production line in motion, the manufacturing team has been running full steam. Simultaneously Coy has been slammed with quotes going out, samples being tested, and the next month’s run of killer weekend drops to plan while Waylon is kicking some DEEP editing on an upcoming YouTube drop! Safe to say this isn’t a recipe for receiving a lot of newsletter details to update y'all on, but it is the kind of commotion that generally leads to some pretty exciting announcements or drops around here. It’s in these quieter times that you can always trust the Baker boys are making something special. Monday’s question; “What’s a material you’ve used but will never touch again?” exceeded

expectations with a wealth of comments flowing in. We received everything from basic micartas to mammoth molar and the insight was certainly educational. New Maker’s have a list nearly 1000 comments deep of materials to avoid… haha!

We shot out a reminder on Tuesday but there are still a few cans of our newest product, Grime Reaper available on the site. Our initial release certainly exceeded expectations, and we can restock relatively easily all things considered. But while the option is available we HIGHLY recommend you take the chance to grab a can (or six-pack) and try this stuff out. Built out of an understanding that common BrakeKleen products would soon change, we designed Grime Reaper to be the perfect pre-etch cleaner. Not only does it exceed expectations as part of the etching process it absolutely BLOWS AWAY grease and grime around the shop. Priced fairly to compete with other shop degreasers, we really think you’ll love this sh*t and expect it to become a staple for shops across the country.

This weekend Coy is reaching deeper into the bag for ANOTHER brand new layout! The last few weeks have produced a handful of never-before-seen creations and it’s starting to feel pretty crazy knowing how many more will come down the line. With the right tools, materials, and people you can accomplish AMAZING and creative things, there is no doubt!

Inside the Media

Early in the week Waylon dove back into the editing of his latest long form YouTube video. Chronicling the entire Chambersburg Power Hammer story from initial purchase to eventual operation this video very easily could be hours long. Thankfully our media wizard has already refined the hours and hours of footage down to an exciting and fast paced view of all the steps that led us to operation. Including some entertaining sequences and intimate pricing breakdowns, you won’t want to miss this one. Waylon is hopeful it will be out this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled!
