Barendrecht is the town where Otto's parents (and also his brother and his wife) live - also where Otto grew up. This is the driveway to the garage units for some of the people who live on 'Coriander Street' and where Otto's shaping bay (aka his parents garage) is. Otto's parents still live in the house (condo) where he was born!!!
Otto making a reparation of a board in the 'bay' in his parent's garage.
The fumes of some of the products that he uses are quite toxic so he wears a mask (respirator - breathing apparatus - thingy) to protect his lungs. When he's actually shaping (creating) a new board the fumes can be extraordinary ... he's gotten complaints from some of the neighbors.
The master at work (he only has his mask off because I was right there talking to him). It's a 30 minute drive between our home and his shop so he tries to (and hopes for) do more than one board at a time ... it doesn't always work out like that, though. Now he's found a surf shop, Connor's, that just opened a few blocks from our home and the owner created a repair shop in the basement of his retail store. Connor invited Otto to do repairs there. We have moved some equipment over and Otto has actually done a couple of repairs there. It saves a lot of time. Pictures of Connor's will be forthcoming.
