Factory Tour of Stiles Machinery

This was our last project and luncheon of the season and Christy and Tina (me) were the hosts. We decided that we would have the girls take a tech tour of my business and then have them see how the project for the week was made. Their homework was to draw and create a flower shaped placemat and/or wall hanging. We would then take their drawing and put it in the computer and then have the routers cut them out. 

 We were welcomed to the facility with our names on the monitor as we walked in. How cool was that?
 James Swansen was our tour guide and our go to person for the project. He made sure that our flowers were put into a software program so that they could be entered correctly in the computer and routed for us. We were to each receive 8 different flowers, one from each lovely.
 James talked to us on how Stiles Machinery helps companies with total production solutions from manufacturing, equipment integration, manufacturing consulting, education, service and parts. Nice job James, we thank you very much for the great information on Stiles.
 Here is a Weeke machine which routed Lauries design. Love it!
 It was so much fun to design something and have a machine cut it out on the spot for us. I will post at a later date how the lovelies have painted their flowers. 
 My sweet husband and Sarah listening and watching as we absorb all of this.
 Kodak moment.
The whole gang, (really just part of the gang). We missed you Kim, Jenny and Betsy. Thank you David and James for a great tour, It was so interesting visiting a leader in the woodworking industy. Your a world class company! Thank you Christy for arranging a great spot for us to lunch, Thousand Oaks was delish. Most of all I'd like to thank all of the lovelies for another great year, you girls are wonderful. It's very special that we can all find the time to take out of our busy schedules to learn, create and share with one another. I feel blessed to call you friends!  xoxo Tina Marie
