Alright guys and gals, this is the first post from the new owner. Jim and I have spent some time together in the shop, and I've learned a lot from him. He's going to stay on with me for a while to make sure the transition goes as smoothly as we can manage. I made it home with all of the equipment, and I'm in the process of sorting and setting up now. My electrical wasn't setup quite like I wanted it to be so I'm working on that today. I'm going to publicly ask for a little patience as I get my mind wrapped around the production levels I'm going to need to reach. I understand the machines and the programs, but I'm just one man, and I do still have a 40 hour a week job (for the moment) and I have a farm with a lot of hay to get up before fall. I'm going to start with slot car wheels ONLY, and when I'm sure what productivity level I'm at I'll begin at that point expanding my available products. I may or may not offer everything Jim did, but we will just have to cross those bridges as we get there. I also want to thank Jim for him believing in me and staying on with me to help me in the ways that he can to make me more efficient and a better machinist. As most of you know he set the bar pretty high, and I intend to provide the same level of quality. Thanks for all your continued support!
