Cleaning Up 2015

When the year began, we pressed hard at a new directive focused on eliminating wasteful projects that took us away from our core business. It was painful for us, in particular, me. I have a lot of visions in my head (some sane, some not) as to all the different things we COULD do, but perhaps maybe we should not because it becomes a distraction, and all projects suffer from a lack of attention.

When I look back on it, it was the right thing to do, but I have a parking lot stalled with ideas at some point I wish to pursue. Most likely I will not get to them, but I can say that keeping focused has been the best choice we could have made. Our company is healthier than ever, growing, and looking to keep on task for 2016. 2015 was a year of janitorial efforts, and we are happy to see it close on a good note. Bring on 2016!

Thank You Columbian!

A nice article on LUSB and the industry as a whole. So much more to discuss as the maker movement and craft skills become cool again!
