A Different Approach
I suppose it’s a sign that you’re doing something right, as a craftsman, when demand becomes greater than what you can physically do. While a convenient and enviable problem this may be, it can mean long hours in the shop with far fewer rides in the books than one would expect. Well folks, that’s where I find myself these days. In an effort to remain true to what I really want from all of this, along with being honest and transparent to customers, there have to be some changes made. Changes that will make an even stronger representation of the quality, service and...

Hey Hey! This is something I’ve been promising to lots of folks, for far too long. A packing video. Here is a very brief example of how I configure the main parts of my gear for a trip, no matter the length.

Hey y’all! So, in an effort to make the Porcelain Rocket experience an even more ‘custom’ one, we are trying a little something new around here… Instead of sending out hundreds of rather standard and boring form emails, or even setting up a page list on the website, I’ve decided that I will do a little live-action video FAQ series. The first in the series: This is a basic tutorial on making a nice pattern for me to work from on a custom framebag build. If you have about 7 minutes to spare (and who doesn’t really?!), have a little watch. ...
