I met Steve Swanson from MuppetCast last year at the Puppets Up! festival in Almonte, Ontario.  I was hoping to meet up with him this year, but he was not able to make it up do to a schedule conflict.  So Jamie Douglas and I sent him a quick video message with the help of Tom Stewart.

 I am the crazy orange guy on the right.

Enjoy.

Having a nice space to work is essential to me and my creativity.  I am glad that I too some time to spruce up my basement workshop and update my spray /glue booth.

As you can see I’ve added lots of cupboard storage and work areas. All of my fabric and foam are now easy to access and see in these vertical storage units.

My main work table has a white projection screen up behind it.  Now I can take quite pictures of the puppets I am working on for my clients on a nice white background.

I upgraded my vent fan and made sure that it is air tight along the corners. I just have to add a shower curtain and the front to minimize vapor leakage and I am golden. It works amazingly well as it is (even with the opening at the front).

The system is vented directly outside, so  I can glue easily even in the middle of the winter.

I am happy with the set up and I am looking forward to adding a computer to my future editing area, for my own puppet videos. fun, fun, fun.
