OK, Alera, I feel like we've shot you down enough. Now how to turn this around for you?

I don't have time to write much right now so I'm going to bang out a few questions and I will get back with more later.

First, can you at least be able to shave some of your neck for testing?

Do you have any guess about your customer base? How many honings/restorations would you expect to do per week?

What kind of budget do you have in mind for hones and restoration equipment?

Do you want to be able to replace scales?

Do you want to be able to make scales?
