STRinGstruments WorXhop infrastructuur
STRinGstruments WorXhop permanent in ontwikkeling …
Verder wordt er hard gewerkt op verschillende fronten aan de optimalisering. Zo is de turbine voor de spuitcabine geïnstalleerd, een kanjer van een polijstmachine aangeschaft dat nog wat renovatie vergt, lintzaaglasmachine bemachtigd, perslucht- en vacuümciruits staan op stapel en voor centrale afzuiging van de grote machines zijn alle kanalen aangeschaft .
Met dank aan de vaste WorXhop inrichters: Noud en Bram, die de laatste twee jaar alle werkbanken tot in de puntjes heeft gerestaureerd. Ook Dàniel heeft een hart voor de uitbreiding van het atelier en Bart was present voor de turbine van de spuitcabine.
Liefhebbers die interesse hebben om het atelier mee verder uit te bouwen zijn altijd welkom, ze genieten dan uiteraard van een aantal voordelen bij het gebruik van het atelier.

Two more things before we go home: a performance by the free podium and a drink.
Free Podium
No instruments without music, therefore a platform to try out one or another instrument to the public. Who can play are invited to show his talents for the microphone, in exchange for a Hellegat-bierke at Bokaal. The Can guitars made that day can support the cans blues, by Jacques Leonard

.
Bokaal
Bokaal stands for snacks and drinks in jars. They are also the party to quench the Bokaal, while the partner is still looking, no better comfort than a local “artisanal” brewed beer or a refreshing cocktail in a Bokaal of Bokaal.

New in STRingStruments WorXhop
Thickness Sander
As part of the ongoing expansion and optimization of the workshop, we recently got a nice addition. An orbital sander JET Jet 22-44 with a width of 560 mm. A front and back cover go through it without problem. A nice addition. Adjustable to 1.8mm if you must!
Side bender, a new addition.
Ivo Vrancken is the first workshop User who has used a CO Project formula. This is a project where a User works in cooperation with STRinGstruments WorXhop and creates a added value to the workshop. In this case, a “Side Bender” . With this formula the User don’t paid for the use of the workshop,because his contribution is the added value for STRinGstruments, in this case a second “side bender” for the studio.
————————————————
Furthermore, we are working on several fronts to optimize. So material is purchased for the spray booth, a whopper of a polishing machine which still needs some renovation, compressed air and vacuümciruits are under construction.
Thanks to the WorXhop builders for the efforts of the last 2 years: Noud and Bram.
