Putting things in full swing

Things are in full swing in the shop, and I believe seeing the progress being made is giving me more entheusiasm for the upcoming season. We are working on a few new things, but don't know if it will make it for spring 2012.  Thank you for following. I hear weekly from people who have been watching us grow, and like where we are going.  Another great thing is hearing from customers who purchased last year or the year before, wanting to expand and purchase larger pans.  I'm looking forward to a new prospective place to boil this coming season. I know the boys will love it too!!

Please refer to our pricing on the blog for current pricing. I'm not too tech savy and trying to get around to new pictures and pricing on the website.

Coldstone Creamery pan

I've been busy trying to juggle, overtime,family and the buisness. I've been in the shop as much as possible, and trying to keep up with orders. I apologize for any delays in shipments. I'm looking forward to what the next season will bring. My syrup is getting low and can't wait to get some more fresh. I'm still limiting custom orders until I feel more comfortable with my stock sized pans.

While working on stock size pans and inventory for the 2012 season I also have done a few custom stainless pieces. One I just finished is a Freezer drain pan for the Coldstone Creamery.

Our own private label coffee!!

I love great tasting coffee, and I guess I'm spoiled to have a small, locally owned, coffee shop in my back yard. So while I was working the other day(maybe under the influence of welding gas, and fumes) I thought about approaching the coffee house about roasting a custom taylored blend for Wegner Metal Works. Something that would taste great while sitting next to the arch, or in the sugar shack.  I met with Luna Cafe today and they are working on my blend. We will have the first samples on Monday, and will be offering a special sugarshack blend. It will be a medium to dark roast coffee. We will keep you posted.
This coffee shop roasts in house, and has been in business since 2000. They are a small business that I would like to keep going.  Franchises can come and go, but I respect the small businessman who sticks their necks out to make a go of it. Mark is doing a great job!

On another note:  We are running a promotion. Now til July 23rd( race day) we will be donating $10 from every sale to the Wounded Warrior Project. I am running in the Tough Mudder who is a supporter of this project, and I would like to make a bigger donation with your help.  Call or email us to place these orders as they will apply to non-ebay sales only.

Off Season

First of all I want to say thank you to all the people who have been following my work. I've been dropping the ball with posts, and thought I'd write an update.  We changed our overall design a little this year and have been getting very positive feedback from our customers. I feel satisfied with the outcome. The quality is better than last year (last year was great also, but there's always room for improvement right?).  Now that things have slowed, I'm taking time with the family and getting out more. I felt like a hermit crab in my shop shell for 6 months.  My boys 4 and 7 are enjoying my time with them as much as I am.  We are getting ready for the 4th and looking forward to some time on lake Michigan shore, and the Independence Day festivities.  

I have also started training for some races. My wife and I ran in a 10k a few weeks back. A friend of mine talked me into running in the Tough Mudder. Haven't heard about it? Check it out, pretty intense.  I also have a 40 mile cross country mountain bike race called the Chequamegon Fat Tire 40 that comes in September.  Trying to work off the flab I gained by not eating right, or not at all during winter busy time.

So during the off season I am working on next season's equipment. Feel free to call or email with any questions or orders. 920-660-6646, or Andy@wegnermetalworks.com

Enjoy our Independence this 4th of July and remember how God has blessed us with our freedom. 

New design ,and pricing

We will be finished with lasering, and will be starting production on our 2012 season pans. We have made a few improvements to them. We have added an extra bend on the top lip to gived it a rolled edge. This will improve strength to the top and will eliminate all sharp edges. We have standardized our height to 8". Last season we had 7" flats and 8" divided. We found that the extra inch was an added benefit. Pricing is on the blog here and on eBay. We will be updating pictures, products, and prices on the website shortly.

We are accepting pre orders which we do incourage, to help eliminate some of the "last minute rush".

Call or email us. 920-660-6646, or Andy@wegnermetalworks.com

We're winding down with the pans for the season. I hope everyone has a good syrup season this year. We have a couple 2 x 2's and a few 2 x 4's left. We are excited to prepare for next season's improved design.

Finish pan Pics

I received the first of several pictures I had taken of my pans. Pictures were taken by Mark Hawkins Photography.   15 x 15 finish pan with lid and filter tray. This pan isn't pictured with optional 1/4" thermometer fitting.
