    Once I started receiving orders for the ray gun panels I designed in my last video ( • Creating Retro Ray Gun... ), I had to switch from product development to production mode. That meant finding ways to create the panels as efficiently as possible.

    From a business-engineering perspective, the reformulation of Wesley's treatise is the old quote, "The skillset in going from zero to one, is different from the skillset in going from 1 to 10, and different from 10 to 100, and extends for each step increase in magnitude".

    Wesley hi...I just wanted to say that your whole attitude, skill set , dry wit and attitude is breathtaking.
    I'm a 60 year old guy with a dream.. after (and still) owning a precision engineering company here in the UK, I'm looking for a 180 degrees change in life direction..so I brought a large property with outbuildings in Tuscany and looking to start a laser cutting and engraving company there...sort of have a plan...loving the omtech lasers..
    After seeing you and your enthusiasm has given me that extra bit of drive...thank you..
