Fabrication offers unique and interesting opportunities for presenting a wide range of objects and communications in various environments. Here are a few examples rom Bobland, ranging from in-store displays, shotgun shells, to an actual-size house facade.
Custom fabricated flyer, calendar and recipe card displays for an emerging Oregon area grocery store promoting health through food.
Class schedule and literature displays
Recipe card slat wall displays.
Countertop clipboard displays.
White ash point-of-sale wall treatment.
A gallery style display made to house a client’s colorful collection of old shotgun shells (the display was ultimately wall mounted).
This actual size house facade was built as a set to photograph seasonal holiday decorations for national product packaging. It’s not everyday you get a chance to work in a space big enough to contain a house so I took the opportunity kick back on the porch and admire the view.
"Let's find an old trailer and turn it into a mobile dive bar." It was a funny little idea that came about while drinking whiskey in a ski cabin a few winters back. It still sounded good the next morning when we sobered up so we ran with it. Little did my friend Carl and I know that we were about to put ourselves through a self-taught masters course in trailer restoration when we purchased a vintage Cardinal trailer off Craig's List.
Extensive water damage throughout the trailer required a full "frame off" rebuild and when all was said and done, we essentially had a brand new showroom model '58 Cardinal Deluxe.
All cabinetry and woodwork were rebuilt from scratch to match the original honey-toned birch, with a few modifications and flourishes. The electrical and water systems have been updated along with a sound system powered by a digital stereo manufactured to resemble a 1950's AM/FM car radio.
