I wish. We're having to create processes as we go. We've pretty much solved all the major automation issues on the brown stuff (same material as Blue Chip). We finally have hundreds in stock and are very close to full automation.

The tortoise and red are another matter entirely. We've got it all figured out up to the final buffing and polishing phase. We're getting closer, but realistically probably a good six months before we figure it out. So we're still hand finishing each one, and they can take up to an hour or more cuz this stuff shows the TINIEST scratch. It's SO beautiful when you get it right. We'll figure it out, and then watch out, rock n roll. We're not building the Space Shuttle here. Everything is doable, for a price.

Thanks, Gitarre.

P.S. Your statement reminds me of a line we used to use when I was in the brutally competitive VHS tape business. We used to say, "We lose ten cents per tape, but we'll make it up in volume.
