We've just had a quick chat with the lovely Stan at Jankowski Weathervanes. He's got a bit of a rush on at the moment, but he had enough time to tell us about a few projects & we thought we'd share them with you...
Stan's creations have featured in some weird & wonderful places - on the set of "Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang" for example...
Copper cockerel made for Universal Studios 2010 film
"Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang"
... and are now in demand worldwide - the latest creation is off to Kuwait next week Stan tells us. Take a look at some of his amazing work below, it's no surpise that there is such international interest!

We're delighted to be a very small part of some of Jankowski Weathervanes work & would like to wish them continued success for the future.
See lots more info about this amazing downhill freeride bonanza on the site & join up if you dare - have fun people!! And if you do go along, you may well win one of the spiffy prizes that we've just donated!!!
This photo is awesome! It features our friend & pro skateboarder Doug Brown (pictured with his board). Doug is "at the Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford CT. Paul was notorious for playing pranks on his actor friends so for his birthday one year they got him back placing this large gorilla on his lawn. After Paul's death the gorilla now resides at the camp and is brought out for special events for the kids". Not sure which would be more epic to have on your lawn, Doug or the gorilla - these guys get both!
Our friends across the water at Shockwave Skate Team (based in Hogansville, Georgia, USA) are having a skate comp soon & we've sent along some prizes for them - we'll look forward to sharing coverage of the event with you soon....
Good luck to everyone taking part, both organisers & competitors - have a great time!
With the help of our lovely friends on Facebook, we've been conducting a review of the prices of our skate bearings &, as a result, have reduced prices across the board in our ebay store. The bearings are the same professional quality, but we've tried to acknowledge the pockets of our younger, budget conscious clients!
ebay prices now start from £6.48 with free postage
We stock over 2000 different sizes - see our complete listing here -

Our friend, Bristol based Shannon Francis, has just made us this really cool advert:
