Am still up at 6AM answering emails from bidders….not as much glitzy fun as you might expect. Nice to work again though |

am up at 4AM talking to my suppliers (three are bidding), on skype, as soon as I make a little money, I am going to get a computer driven wire inserter, I can’t depend on my delivery system and response timing right now. The system is similar to a computer driven engraving table or a table top lazer cutting machine. The tables are reasonable and the drilling is very similar. I am sure the tuft inserter is more of a challenge. I built my own 2 drill bit drill for drilling my brush mounting holes 2 at a time in a manually controlled setting, maybe I will build an assembly to drill 5 at a time in plastic. |

I made a deal with my brother back home this morning. He has had a custom weld shop for 25 years, I am taking my third line up to him, he can staff up overnight and help me in a pinch, he has plenty of room to store it and the product, actually, my cousin has an extra farm barn and does assembly all the time for him when he has a customer that needs it. |

You know, with all the bbq and hearth and patio mfgers there, I may come away with several interested licensee potentials. If it is people wanting brushes or if it is people wanting to build brushes, I am fine either way. I am building a second line at my rent house garage and am going to build a 3third line and put it in storage. I feel fortunate that I can build them myself….Just don’t make me do any drawings…..Stick figures forever. |

I forgot to mention, I set up a Grill Buster facebook page I will try to keep it updated. This will keep me from spending all the air space here. :) |

Sorry, March 1-3, 2012. My mistake, Has been a crazy day, I had scanned the web for this kind of conference and I thought I had seen in late October 2012. I decided to go anyhow, the rep said she had only a couple of the first timer slots left.. I should be able to build the tooling for 3 full lines by then, I have the brushes comming and I hired 3 people on a part time basis to assemble earlier today… |
