Madfish Designs Wins a Headrest Shrinker

September 17, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi

Congratulations to Wade Labofish of Madfish Designs in Annapolis, Maryland for winning The Hog Ring‘s contest for “Comment of the Week”. Wade takes home this week’s prize: a pneumatic headrest shrinker courtesy of LeatherSeats.com.

We received lots of great comments this week – many deserving of a prize. For us, however, Wade’s stood out for capturing The Hog Ring‘s true essence.

In response to our interview “10 Questions for Legendary Trimmer Sid Chavers”, Wade wrote the following:

I have used Sid’s DVD’s with great success. Thanks to guys like him showing the tricks of the trade, I have been able to operate my own shop out of my home garage.

I’ve only been in the biz for 8 years and am having great success doing everything from custom cars, boats and even furniture. Best of all, I can provide for my family while being at home.

So thanks Sid and keep those DVD’s coming. We can always learn more.

That’s precisely what The Hog Ring is all about – independent trimmers connecting, sharing tricks of the trade and helping each other grow. We hope that experienced upholstery professionals like Sid will continue to share their knowledge; and that rookies will always have resources like his DVD’s and this site to go to for a little extra help. Together, we can empower and grow the auto upholstery community – ensuring everyone’s success.

Thanks Wade for being an active member of our community, as well as everyone else who followed The Hog Ring this week. Please continue to look out for more great articles, contests and giveaways.

Last, but certainly not least, thank you LeatherSeats.com for donating this week’s prize.

      Contact LeatherSeats.com to order one. I don’t think they advertise that they sell them. But if you give them a call, they’ll hook you up.
