Dr. Bucky Lab once again used all his connections to get a fresh load of german Bratwurst across the borders ( Thanks to Claudia and Ulrich Knaack …you just don't walk into a shop and buy 200 sausages …) and at 16.00 the BBQ went on fire. Bout organised some snacks and brought the plates and cups and the beer was already chilled with ice from the ketelhuis.
We had to celebrate the multiple victories of our last semester projects. 3 prices on the Bold and Beautiful award in Rotterdam against a belgium, dutch and german field of competitors and just last week the 2nd price for the International Velux Design Award ( we already reported on this blog )
So the last semester students joined the current group and we had quite a time and even the weather wasn't able to stop us… As Marcel always says: Not every drop hits !
The BBQ is not only for the students but also for our great supporters. Thats our way of showing the workshop in action, give them a sneak peak into the current projects and talk tools. Wouter Beck partner of the current daylight semester project joined and was curious about the progress the students made. Peter Stouthamer from Raaco was astonished about our Heco Car we equipped with a nice set Raaco Boxxers to give our screws a ride bucky lab style.
Karst Duermeijer from Heco was also pleased about the mobile solution and already mentioned that a few types of screws are missing …The experts from Hettich weren't able to join, business in the headquarter in Germany …ok even better Bratwurst there, we assume …Frans van Dijk from festool already stopped by in the morning with a colleague to show the mobile workshop and had to excuse himself for the party, he had to run a tool workshop with a big team from breur, thats also the reason why Frank van Oosterhout wasn't able to join, but we know from experience that festool also serve a damn good dinner during their workshop and we are sure they talked about our toolhouse we made last year in the training centre in Waddinxveen. Even Bart Groot himself, the inventor of the Walko workbenches our multi functional workstations joined the BBQ, its always nice to get to know what Bart is developing right now, he never stops having good ideas !
And in the end it all comes together when Dr. Bucky Lab got a small gift from Heco, two compact screwdrivers which are actually made from Wiha our partner for everything about pliers and screwdrivers and bits. That he handed one over to Hugo from Facility Management of the TU Delft was a truly action of honour, these guys made the impossible possible, to set up a tent and let us have a place to make the most innovative prototypes.
Its all about these partners we are so proud and grateful of, they made the Bucky Lab what it is: The worlds best mobile workshop, equipped with the best tools to make everything you can imagine !
Thanks ! We are proud to carry your names on our boxes !
