The initial desire to make this work came out of the essence of contemporary DIY but less formal and rougher/busted aesthetic. While the work may be rough aesthetically it is also tough in structure making the pieces functional in their new purpose. Pieces are built from upcycled wood from pallets, metal parts, motors, wires, and engines from trashed vehicles. In the past the duo has made a Kinetic Albatross powered by water, a miniature light house, a fishing pier, upcycled bikes, skateboards, and surfboards.
