It is sew….. Friday!  When I first opened my business, I wouldn’t dare turn aw…

Raymond Martin says: It is sew….. Friday!  When I first opened my business, I wouldn’t dare turn away any projects.  One day a customer asked if I could make him a backrest for his leaning post and without even thinking, I blurted out “Sure I can!”. At the time I had never sewn anything and didn’t even own a sewing machine!  So, that week I ordered a walking foot sewing machine, a stapler, a few yards of vinyl, and a sheet of foam.  The material arrived on a Friday, and working on my Mom’s kitchen table all weekend, I had the cushion ready for delivery on Monday.  That was 13 years ago. Today, I have a dedicated sewing shop with two machines and a huge layout table, and I still sew my own canvas, cushions, and enclosures!  #fatstitchfriday #anodizedaluminum  #marinefabrication #gradywhite #weldporn  #welding #millerwelders #skiff #skifflife #shop #sew #sewing

    Thank you @mts_boat_worx !! I appreciate your comments! And thank you @huskerfab @metalcraftmarine @no_tables @fantin_paolo ?. Fitting all the pieces takes a while, but welding it all out only takes a couple of days @goobersammiches.
