Well there are some changes as of late. First and foremost was the Logo Plates. If you follow us on Facebook at all you have seen this, if not check out the page or visit the store to see.

Speaking of store we are revamping the entire store! More options, Better Members Area, hell a completely different store all together. Stay tuned for more info!

The Musky Huntress Project

So occasionally I get some jobs that are pretty cool. Bri Herman, A Female Muskie Fishing personality (many of you may already know of her) has a Facebook® community page called the Musky Huntress. With over 3.5K likes this site is no joke (since Muskie Fishing is not a broad topic). Well in a conversation with Ms. Herman we decided to make a Musky Huntress Esox Box. Complete with Pink DOT Tape and pink handle straps. The box will also be emblazoned with the Musky Huntress Logo making it unique and hopefully very popular with our Female compatriots. So be watching not only on the Team Cordwood Facebook® page but Bri's page as well!

Final Product...Bling and all!

The PFS on the Verge!!!

So we have been modifying the PFS [formerly known as the Cordwood Caddy]. The key in building any of these things we build is to get a system down for size and assembly...tinkering if you will. Well we are on the verge of what I believe to be one of the best additions to the fishing industry to date. "Bob, you say, There are already caddy's out there!". You would be correct, however there is a very short list of split designs on the market out there. While we feel that any addition of any caddy is essential to those that fish with a butt seat, ours has some great features we think everyone may like. We are tirelessly working on improving this system to make it useful to all fishermen of any species. From the dimensions to the accessories we have tried and failed, stumbled and fell flat on our face all the while improving this system along the way and we are so close to having it. The dimension are good the accessories stellar now it's just down to building a half dozen to get the process refined. We have already built 2 prototypes with great success which mean that YOU, are about ready to see something very cool...very soon!

Shop Maintenance Part Deux!

Ok so I mentioned that we had other projects that were going to make our life easier. And they are almost done. So while assembling some boxes that are long overdue I completed one project and I am in the middle of the other. My Partner in crime Bill "Coach" Breeden has been down for the count with pneumonia so well wishes and prayers for his speedy recovery please!
 The 1st project which Coach had the biggest part in building I simply took his idea and finished the installation was a Suspended rack for our sheet goods. Quite the endeavor and honestly a little too big for a one man job but I did it anyway!

Now we have storage and a bit more room. In moving the sheet goods up it opened where they were stored so the plan was to create an accessory station where we could assemble small pieces. Not quite finished but I have a couple of PFS to finish so I will finish it shortly.

Both projects will help in the organization of the shop and hopefully increase productivity by keeping us from fumbling over all this stuff! Stay tuned as I will update the progress of this and other projects in the near future!

A little shop maintenance

So we have been doing a little housekeeping. Amongst other things we spent probably an inordinate amount of time on building our tablesaw sled. I say inordinate because between sickness, injury,and a large order we also had a shaper malfunction and a bandsaw apocalypse!
  Once we worked out those issues (no small feat in itself ), in our infinite wisdom we have 3 other projects that have been held off too long and are hindering our progress. None of these things will stop us....if anything when finished we will be more efficient and produce products quicker...which is cool!
  You can't buy a sled like we made. We even considered manufacturing the sled for others but once we took a breath we realized it would cost about $150 in material and $3000.00 on engineering cost...lol, thus the thought quickly expired. Again we are not brought down by the recent events and minor setbacks, it's something everyone that manufactures products probably experiences.... I am just dumb enough to say it in public!

Rollie & Helen's Here We Come!

So, back in November of 2014 Team Cordwood set out on an adventure to Minocqua Wi. to visit Rollie & Helen's Musky Shop. Turned out to be a great visit as we are now stocking the 24slot and 20slot Esox Box in their store. Complete with a cool R&H Musky Shop Etching on the front. Not only that but some of the boxes have a FREE Lure inside compliments of Muskie Metal Lures . There is a whole bunch going on and I will talk about it in future posts but suffice it to say Team Cordwood is gaining momentum.
