      @AdamJ Thank you!

      @Giles Thank you. I'll need it! Getting a patent is no easy task.

          @seawolf This is great!! I hate my current stitching pony where I have to sit on part of the base. My base is wood and it’s always a struggle to find a seat that it won’t scratch up or rip, but is also comfortable.

          Do you plan to manufacture or license?

            @Go-For-Chill Thank you! I hate having to sit on the base of my little stitching pony too. I added leather to the bottom of it so it doesn't scratch my chair, but it's not very comfortable for long periods of time. I also have a big one that my father-in-law built for me that sits on the floor, and I much prefer using that one.

            Yes, I plan on manufacturing. I need to work out some of the engineering still, but once I have it all dialed in, I'll start sourcing local manufacturers to get these made. They'll be sold under my brand Mascon & ZeeBee Tools.

              True, but it’s a lot easier when you’re starting from a solid idea! You probably know this already but do check in with your attorney before sharing any clever stuff you come up with when you’re fine tuning the engineering.

                @ARNC Great advice. Thank you! All of the clever engineering will be proprietary information, and at some point I may have to submit a utility patent as well.

                    @tody yeah, for now. A utility patent is a different animal, and the shape of this thing is what’s most important in this moment. I’ve filed two utility patents before and they’re on a whole other level.

                                  I finished this media console/credenza today. I have about 100 hours into this thing, and I'm exhausted. But I'm damn proud of it!

                                  That’s absolutely beautiful! You should be very proud of what you’ve accomplished.
