Changing Times

We live in changing times indeed! And we here at BilletSPIN always embrace change…NOT! But it is inevitable so we learn to live with it. Let me lead you through a few changes that have happened here lately.

• Jim, our machine operator, was absorbed back into the main company and we got a different machine operator. Now we are truly a “Family” as the new operator is our brother-in-law, Ben. Ben is Lindsey’s husband and has been doing a phenomenal job at putting up with us and getting product done in the process.

• We are moving on to a new pen with an all new mechanism and new body design. This has been a major energy sucker for Rich as when he tried to come up with new designs he gives it everything he has. Makes for dome interesting conversations when he can’t answer my questions coherently.

• I am going to tech for Digital Marketing so I can learn more about boosting the online presence of BilletSPIN. It really is an eye opening experience and I am learning so much. Hopefully I’m not getting people too confused with all the changes I make to the website.

• I am constantly having to move things around my office as I run out of room to store all the new cool things Rich is creating. I’m gonna have to start hanging things from the ceiling soon!

• In case you haven’t heard – Rich officially stated in a FaceBook Live video on January 11, 2022 that he will NEVER EVER do another top using tungsten. Hopefully everyone understands that there are plenty of other great top makers out there that are willing to take the time to create with tungsten but it just isn’t financially feasible of the way we do production here.

I will endeavor to get this blog going again, it’s one of the things I’ve learned in my new classes. Hopefully we can enjoy this journey together and if you have a suggestion of something I can blog about – let me know!
