Flashback Friday

With the Pacers headed to the Playoffs tomorrow night, we thought this was a great time to post some old Pacer-related photos!

Here is a picture of Kelly & her friend Melinda posing with Boomer a couple years back.

Beech Grove Police Department

Last summer, bo-mar designed, fabricated, and donated a mobile combat training door for the Beech Grove SWAT team.   We have since established a relationship with the Beech Grove Police Department.  Last week, we were given another opportunity to work with the officers when they asked us to design and fabricate a custom K-9 kennel for their department.  We have three weeks to fabricate a kennel with rear window guards and custom drawers for storing multiple firearms.  The kennel will fit inside the back of a GMC Yukon.  We'll try to post pictures as the project progresses!  

Flashback Friday

With the Space Shuttle Discovery retiring to the Smithsonian Institute's National Space and Air Museum this week, we thought it was fitting to post this picture of Bo & Mark at Cape Canaveral.  The Buchanan brothers visited the Kennedy Space Center with their parents in the late 1960s. 

Project Update

This week, we had another project for Harry Connick, Jr.  For those of you who missed the post last month, bo-mar fabricated custom piano legs for Harry Connick's role in an episode of NBC's Law and Order: SVU.  We recently received another assignment for the musician/actor.  Now, we are fabricating custom carts for his upcoming tour!  In addition to the carts, bo-mar is also customizing a flat screen mount for Harry Connick's piano case. The projects will be completed by the end of the week.

Flashback Friday

Yesterday bo-mar's Vice President Mark and his wife Jill celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary!  We thought we'd use this opportunity to post some wedding pictures from 1980. :-)  Enjoy!!

Can you believe these two have made it through 32 years of marriage and 20 years of working at bo-mar together?! Congratulations to them!
