we made a handful of walkers with a minimal amount of frame shaping, so as to retain the original profile, while giving it the rest of the treatment. these are the first we’ve done which are powdercoated and not smoothed the hell out. well, the frames are smooth, but we didnt chop off a bunch [...]
late days
Please Advise: Seth is attending the London Convention this coming weekend and will not be available in our workshop for the week of September 21-29th.

only 12 of these were made.

rusty than a.
