Well, after an insanely long and arduous process, we finally got the keys to the new shop on Friday evening. Covid made dealing with the leasing company (an already ugly process) exponentially more difficult than I ever expected. But it's done now, and we're ready to get to work.
We were in ~2500sqft in the back of a pole building on a farm in Molalla, OR. The new location is ~6500sqft in a modern industrial suite in Wilsonville, on the south end of the Portland metro area.
No more phase converter, no more gravel driveway, no more well water, and no more 25 mile drives into town! I know getting into town is the exact opposite of what many on here want to do, but for us it will be a huge upgrade. We are still in the early growth stage, and the ability to add 4 or 5 more spindles is going to be huge. Really excited to have a big, legitimate office space as well. I think this is going to be a huge morale boost for the guys (and hopefully me too).
Figured I would share a few pictures of our first project in the new space. The move in won't start until next week, so me and the boy took advantage of the empty warehouse. Sadly we'll have to tear down the Hot Wheel's ramp in a few days. We've got 3 machines to move in, and hopefully another soon!
