    Little side quest last week for my Church. They needed a cabinet for the stage monitor. Keep the kids from falling in. Felt good to donate a piece to a good cause

    Some pieces are cut on the cnc. I'm a 3d designer for my day job so i design everything myself with customer input and requirements. The goal in the long term is to try to turn my shop into a RTA (ready to assemble) furniture shop and ship nationwide. But I need money and more workspace for that...

    Why you should buy a home as early as possible.

    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Kind of agree, I moved all over the country doing crazy/stupid things in tech. If we were tied to a house, lots of opportunities would have been missed. Bought a house at 40. It'll be paid off within 5 years. No plans on selling or moving, ever. But who knows what fate has for me in the future.

    Spent a good part of the weekend exploring additional options. Machines were going 24/7 for customer orders but ROI is low percentage at the moment. Constructing a large thermoformer this week to expand what I can offer. Also building out a product line that utilizes large thermoformed pieces.

    Good Idea on the electricians. Currently I'm taking care of crafters and cosplayers and aiming for more industrial clientele like the automotive sector. With all the new car plants being constructed along I95, I'm sure I can support a couple of their suppliers. My son runs his own little 3d...
