It’s a small tight-knit family-like business. The wood shop is a collective that supports itself so we are all simultaneously working for ourselves and for the shop. Though I run the shipping department I also make things here. We all have individual projects and then larger projects we work on that come through the shop. It makes the work environment more like a small tight-knit family-like business. We all take care of each other and are supportive of new endeavors. When someone is working out a project we all take time to give feedback on design\/build issues. We are friends and co-workers. The best part about working here is working with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working with Nick is like working alongside a Japanese sensei out of Mad magazine. He is a mentor and a prankster. He has a lot of energy and whether he’s here all week or for an hour he manages to make you feel like there’s a lot to do and you better get to it! He’s a great guy… and yes Ron does show his face here and there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ramblin’ Rump-Stump, it’s a very stylish collapsible camp chair. Michele designed it based on a classic scout design. It’s nice when something gets reinvented in the shop and made anew. Wood working can be pretty hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ShipStation makes things much faster for me to ship orders. Something that used to be exciting has become quite a large task and the ease of ShipStation has brought back a bit of that excitement and taken away the dread of spending a long time with a task we barely get paid to do. I am still discovering tools that make things easier and faster! Every time a friend signs up they let me know soon how thankful they are I nudged them in to signing up. They honestly don\u2019t know how they shipped before having it and I feel the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ShipStation helps us streamline our orders and track shipping easily. Before ShipStation we just used the Pony Express which people thought was cute but it took a lot longer for them to get their packages. It’s been a game changer! The various search capabilities are tremendously helpful for managing orders. Also the easy Return Shipment button saves tons of work. Basically it does a lot of tedious work for you that you don’t have to do anymore and that’s really great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
