GC had 50 employees but still had a 7 month production time. That means the demand was there but that doesn't mean that they could turn a profit.<br />I know because we have faced this same proposition several times over the past few years. We make custom gaming tables and have done so by word of mouth for the past several years. The temptation to go bigger has been there but we have decided to stay small and only focus on the Southwestern United States. By doing this we keep our production time down to about 6 weeks and are able more than busy enough to keep the shop humming.<br /><br />Robert<br />Uniquely GeekAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587894102758349161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-76115412276796000982017-06-15T16:35:32.622-04:002017-06-15T16:35:32.622-04:00Well, maybe if they didn't charge thousands of...Well, maybe if they didn't charge thousands of dollars for tables that a local craftsman can make for less than a fourth of the cost...Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446853090766497652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-21465449192907629852017-06-15T04:13:30.307-04:002017-06-15T04:13:30.307-04:00It also might be that too many people are making t...It also might be that too many people are making their own, themselves.
