    Tony Miller makes the best point, IMO-One can pay people to do a job but you cannot pay people to care.


    With the cost of running ANY small or large business-making a price point is practically IMPOSSIBLE on a hand made item. Few of today's youth would NEVER consider spending time as an apprentice-learning a craft. BUT with the availability of CNC machining centers, prototyping equipment etc.-why not a 100% machine made product. Provided the set-up is correct, machines rarely have a bad day.

    I agree as well. I would see this as a small artisan cooperative; that way each worker would have a vested interest in the success or failure of the business.
