Busy in the DodgeSkiBoots factory with Dave making new molds for the 245 size, MotoMan cutting other parts and me welding up new assembly fixtures.

Glanced up from the welding and couldn’t believe the “daffodil” snow, (can’t call it sugar snow ’cause it’s too late in the year.)

Getting some good orders for boots so if you haven’t reserved your pair of Dodge carbon ski boots for next season, you should contact us soon, before the production run is all spoken for.

Back to the welding.

Don’t get burned.

Warren Witherell paid a visit yesterday afternoon to check out how DODGE carbon fiber ski boots are made and share thoughts on skiing, sports and more.  I’ve known Warren since I was a J3 and Dave’s known him even longer, but it’s always fascinating for me to learn more about people than what is found on the surface.

Warren has his fans and his detractors, certainly in no small part due to his outspokenness and willingness to challenge the norm.  But, like him or not, you have to respect his contributions to skiing and how his drive pushed even his critics to improve their game.

And, pushing (or being pushed) outside one’s comfort zone or the norm is how we all improve, isn’t it?

That’s something Dave & I embrace every day.  We think the DODGE Ski Boot pushes outside the norm for boots.  And we’re really having fun learning how to change the game.

Well, it’s too nice a day to be on the computer.  Gotta “get outside the box” and do some yard work.

Push yourself.

We’re hard at it this afternoon making new molds for the 245 size (285 sole length). We have a new mold material that should help with production, but as with anything new, the first time you work with it requires lots of learning.

Here’s Dave keeping a close eye on the machine we use to cut the molds.

Meanwhile, I’m welding new fixtures we use to hold the boots during assembly.

Back to it.
