Update: I’ve upgraded my dust extractor and just ordered a 9 inch angle grinder and a 9 inch diamond cutting wheel…

Artist patronage is amazing, giving them capital to buy the tools that will serve them a lifetime.
Eh yes. But I’m still working with a sub optimal setup. If I ever get the funds I need to design my studio from the ground up… there are a lot of tools and equipment on the “nice to have list.” I’d love to have a water wall for dust collection. But they cost like $20k😂
Gotta earn such fancy equipment though. Profitability is a very useful metric of scalability, your small customer base doesn't justify the expensive tools yet, but with more practice, patience and endurance comes more customers, more revenue, and more profit to fund the next round of tools.
Can't wait to see where you'll be at in a couple havings, keep it up bro!
Exactly. I’m in the process of scaling up. This is my biggest sculpture and commission so far. But if all goes well, it’ll lead to the next step. And I’ll use that water wall as a goal… thanks for the sats and the encouragement!🫡
