It's in your best interest to do it because then you have a person in your hometown that has the skills, and the next thing you come up with, you can go to them and ask them to do it.

Okay, for the metal handle, you got to have a person that can cut them out with a laser cutter. People can imagine that. But the building of the die that stamps the handles, that's a whole person. And there's this really beautiful moment where we go work with this facility and we pay them for the tool. It was like $30,000 to make the tool. It's very expensive. And so we pay them for this tool.

We go all the way through the process and the guy's name is Logan. We go to the facility and we're like, hey, we're going to make a part. We're finally going to make a part. And we go there and he loads a flat piece of metal and he hits the button and the press comes down. Ka-chunk. Ka-chunk.

And then he takes it out and he moves it to the next station. It's a multi-station tool. And he goes all the way to the end and he pulls it out and he holds it up and it's done. And I look at him and I said, hey, is this the first tool you ever made? He designed and built the tool. He said, yeah, this is the first one I've ever done.

We're doing it in our hometown. Okay. Yeah, we're literally doing it in our hometown. So the puck and the chainmail and everything, we have a place where we send them, and we're paying a subcontractor to assemble those components out of state, but in America. So we take the chainmail and the puck and the rubber and all that. They assemble those. They bring it back.

We get the handles, laser the brand on the handles, and then we assemble them all there at the facility where we ship them out. And how many people work at the facility? Right now, there's five or six, depending on, you know, we bring people in, a lot of times college kids that are home from school in the summer. Destin shared a video.

So this is my son packing them up.

You'll have somebody getting out a handle, tying a string on it, and somebody puts the puck on, and somebody puts a little sticker on it. Yeah. And so we have a little assembly line that's very inefficient. It's just kind of bootstrapping right now.
