Chabott Engineering

I have had the pleasure of meeting Shinya Kimura a few times. I went and checked out his amazing workshop with Dean, Reino and Troy a while back and was gifted with this awesome T-shirt!!
Now, I am not an avid T-shirt wearer... but I am not one to turn down free clothes, so I went at it with a pair of scissors and hey presto!
Cheers Shinya! I love it :)

New Thorogoods

Check out the new 2-tone Thorogood shoes we've got in store. Fancy, huh?

Shoes- Vans, bought in San Fran a few months back.
Dress- 'Tripp', bought from a store called Lippy in New Zealand... it makes me feel like a pirate.

Pistol Magazine + Halloween

A couple of weeks back, Pistol Magazine borrowed a selection of TriCo merch for their new issue. Today, a parcel arrived for us, and we were delighted to find that along with our returned goods, we were given some awesome Halloween treats!!

The coolest of which (in my opinion) is a camera that claims to capture ghosts in your pictures!! Argh, can't wait to try it out. We shall see if Tri Co is in fact haunted by this chubby cheeked ghost... (http://tricostore.blogspot.com/2011/09/creeeeepy.html)
Thanks Pistol Mag!!

Knives!!

Today is a good day... we got new knives into the store!!
This always makes me happy.
Happy knife day :)

For your visual pleasure.

We got these American Biker books in, and collectively decided that the cover was cringe-worthy. So, I fashioned these new covers from paper bags! Much improvement, I say :)

Matt

Vinyl

Went to the PCC flea market on Sunday and scored this wicked RCA Hi Fi unit for $40. The bloke didn't know if it worked or not so I took a chance. Got it home to discover that the turntable had seized. No Problem. Me and my brother took it all apart and got it working. I was surprised to find that the turntable and the drive wheel both spun on plain bronze bushes. Freed them both up, added some grease and Bob's your uncle, it now works perfectly. Sounds brilliant too. Also bought lots of LP's for $2.00 each. Yowza!
Matt.
