Do you have plans to have these manufactured? Right now you're still a craftsman and business growth is tied with your time.

Well done mate! This is really inspirational. Like you, I am a maker, I need to use my hands. However if I were to try to build a business with those skills I would need to find a maximum level of quality for those products and pump them out for the business to be viable (this is my reason for going fastlane, so I don't have to rely on my passions and lose interest in them, I can just do them without them generating income at my own pace). Most people aren't willing to pay a reasonable price.

It seems you have found a perfect niche where you can still apply your craft to a high level and demand a high asking price per unit because your audience are willing to pay for premium product. Great job.

Sup everyone,

TL;DR I partnered with Jesse James on an elite physical products platform.

It's been a while and I've been working hard. ATX Record players is continuing so grow up 100% from last year (and let just say I'm making my old yearly salary now per month in net income ) I finally built my own shop/warehouse and expanded into selling more tube amplifiers.

However more exciting is..

After building a custom record console with Philip Morley, I began thinking about building an exclusive high-end craftsman made product selling platform. Specifically for goods that defy traditional supply and demand pricing. Goods that when the price is increased, the demand goes up. (veblen goods) I even put it on my vision board next to my bed.

Then after three months, I was texting Jesse James and the opportunity shown itself. I texted him the idea fully thinking to get laughed at, however he responded, "dude I'd invest in that".

From there many months of BS ensued with investors falling in and out, trademarks, wrangling craftsmen and a rollercoaster ride of excitement and complete hopelessness.

But here it is. I still can't really believe it right now. It's just a humble squeeze page collecting leads from Jesse's instagram post's traffic to start, but hopefully the vision to give badass craftsman a place to sell will continue to evolve and be scalable.

It's honestly beyond my wildest dreams after being so inspired as a kid watching Jesse on Monster Garage. Also Jesse is actually filming the reboot of Monster Garage with Discovery channel right now!
