Small Business Porn

After two plus years of moving production to the Abbey we finally have new work surfaces! Would you believe that up to this point we made due with an odd collection of folding tables, a counter top on saw horses and a couple of shopping carts we found under the bridge? It was tough at times, constantly cramped for available workspace and swamped with ever increasing production demands, but we are a creative bunch and made due.

Long time readers of this blog will remember what it was like when we first moved into the space. A huge, filthy blank slate of industrial warehouse that we had no idea how to fill or even if we could maintain enough sales to even pay the monthly rent. Little by little we keep upgrading, moving from makeshift “what if?” inventions intended to save the wear and tear on our bodies or improve the product to custom built machines, a constant cycle of creativity, hard work and re-investment.

Never stopping, never settling for ‘good enough”, but rather “how can we make it better?”
