It’s a pretty funny video but I think it's hilarious this is considered very successful marketing in today’s world. It was a big success for Sure Lock & Home Depot so much so that American Standard bought the rights and rebranded it as "Based on a True Story... That could have been prevented" (New Version).

In our endeavor to hold the first Power Tool Drag Race in Columbus Ohio I contacts several other groups across the country that either put on races or had lots of advice for us. One of the great groups we were in contact with was Team Kiss. Since then we have received a few fun emails from them, most recently this warm holiday greeting “Tan N Boom”. Checkout the email Tan-N-Boom, with tons of pictures.

Preparing for the holidays….

Decorating the tree….

Opps I skipped right to the Money Shot...

The weather was not on our side Saturday for the event but that didn’t stop those that showed up from having a good time. We had a last minute sponsor jump on board, Pabst Blue Ribbon, which helped brighten the mood and a it turned out to be great crowd that wasn’t going to let a few rain drops spoil their fun!

Yes just one day away is the 2nd annual Ohio Tool Racing Championship (www.toolraces.com) and things are getting pretty exciting around the Columbus Idea Foundry this week. Lots of people are piling in this week to get their projects finish. It will probably be a very late night at the shop tonight for some but we’d expect nothing less.

Our Coptool racer is 95% complete and a fairly menacing looking creation; after all there are some pretty big expectations on us. "The Reaver" is welded out of 1” steel tubes, powered by a 9” Bosch grinder pushing a 10” Milwaukee saw blade. See more pics in this Facebook Album. We are pretty confident she will smoke down the track and take any hits that come her way (although pretty inexperienced welder so watch out).
