Thanks for the informative post Gar. You make some good points and speak from experience.
I looked at your site. You guys are really on the geek end of things. I love that stuff, it keeps it interesting. However, I must admit that I am a tool maker at heart and mass production doesn't appeal to me, problems do. I like the idea of solving a problem when it comes to repetitive type stuff. Usually that problem is 'How do I end this quickly'
I know guys like you are out there but I don't want to do it for a living. I'm not money hungry with ideas of big cash doing something easy. I tend more towards hoping for a chance to see a problem and being able to offer a profitable solution.
You actually answered my question better than I could have hoped. You remind me that at it's core it's a sales pitch and I'm not a salesman, I'm a machinist. Maybe a nerdy one, but still a greasy ol' chip slinger. |
