Day 22 - Building....

Hi! 

This morning I designed "feeding" and "receiving" tables for my table saw.  It will cost me about $55-$60 to build, and I should get it all done tomorrow.

I just took my son Thomas to lunch to discuss setting up a website for the arbor business.  He suggested calling it AZ Arbors.  That is simple and generic enough.  I may make my "tag line" "Made In The Shade."  Anyway, Thomas is an SEO expert, who works for a pest control company.  He was just featured nationally by Google in an email broadcast, so apparently they think he is of note in the field of SEO.

Well, I went to Lowe's and purchased the materials for the two tables.  The cost was $58.64.  (Although I indicated above that they would cost $55-$60, my original estimate was $60, but I wanted to "think positively!")

Meanwhile, I collected a number of slides of the arbors I have designed recently, and emailed them to a half-dozen people or more.  I also emailed drawings of both arbors and brackets to Top Drawer Components in Apache Junction.  I had spoken with Nic there yesterday, and sent him an email, but somehow he hadn't received it.  So, I spoke with Josh today, and resent the email to him as well as Nic.  I don't know if I can afford the CNC Milling of the brackets, but it is definitely the way to go in the future, so this is a great contact to make.

Things are moving forward, and I remain as optimistic as ever! 

Life is good!

Mr. Ballantyne
