BBAB Junior Intern
Eight years ago, Barbara Butler and the BBAB crew built a rustic climbing structure in Will Crocker’s backyard. Today, he joins us in the shop as a junior intern for a week.
In 2008, young Will was fascinated by both the installation process and the delightful result: a handcrafted backyard climber’s paradise complete with hanging rings, swing, climbing log, fire pole and trapeze hang.
Inspired by all the building he saw, Will joined in on the fun. Here he is with his own structure of reclaimed wood!
Today, teenage Will still has the same passion for building and was able to make a childhood dream come true when he joined us for a jam-packed week of hands-on experience as our junior intern.
We brought him with us on-site for a maintenance call, and he helped with the annual deep clean and new coat of tung oil that will keep this structure looking good for generations.
Like most teens, Will is a adept at all facets of technology, so he also documented the process to share with clients. Ultimately, he was able to create a how-to video for our website:
He even took the shop doggies on a scenic industrial walk. Thanks, Will. We hope you’ll join us again next summer!
