Skylar and his kids meet E.W. Tinker of My Dad's Garage, EverWitt Productions newest property.
Howdy, Monkey Wrenchers!
Today, we met loads of fantastic families. We saw dads, moms, and their kids working hard to lift each other up, love each other, and do great work in their garages! It was a FANTASTIC day at the IWF Atlanta, 2014.
Every single dad and their family was truly inspriational. We met Hanna, her brother, Skylar, and her dad Skylar at Surf Prep,
Don, a dad with an amazing bender at Magpi,
and even a fantastic dad named Randy, who works with ShopBot tools!
They are now all terrific friends of the blog and show, and will be featured on our You Tube segments at

They truly are wonderful! All the segments should be up by this Saturday!
But, tonight, most of all... because of winning the IWF challengers award, I want to give a little congratulatory shout out about one particular family... The wonderful Aiken family of North Carolina.
This family truly touched my heart. I can tell you from spending the most enjoyable evening working with them on a My Dad's Garage segment for the IWF Atlanta show, that they are an AMAZING family. Chris and his son, Ethan, started their business right out of their own garage. Through hard work, dedication, tenacity, family support (including a wonderful mother, sister, and a terrific wife), as well as good 'ol fashioned brains and elbow grease, they have built their Aiken Controls into an astounding family business!
But, you know what? Even though that is all totally amazing. The best part is that they have stuck it out, through thick and thin (good and difficult times), to accomplish great things through love, dedication and support of each other!
You know, we came to IWF Atlanta to see some great tools and machines, but it turns out that the best thing we ended up doing was to meet some amazing, loving and dedicated families, like the Aikens, really working hard, building AMAZING things out of their garage - just like you can! These families make our community stronger, better, and more competative than ever in the world! And, it is all done out of love.
Pretty neat, huh? We thought so.
