By the way, how do you know "he" is not a "she". I've been a welder and metalsmith for 20 years, and to this day men come into my workshop, look at me, and then ask to speak to the boss. When I tell them it's actually my shop, they suddenly become skeptical about the quality of my work. Try to be a little less cynical and a little more open-minded.

Especially "No off-shore mass production, only real and honest hours of hard work and elbow grease in a local workshop". So he's saying real AND honest hard work is not done off-shore??? I have the feeling that many of these "off-shore" workers work harder, longer hours for less pay than this guy will give them credit for. And they could certainly produce more than 10 mailboxes in a month and a half! I don't mind that this guy is trying come off as a humble Norman Rockwell character quietly tinkering away in his workshop with sweat and elbow grease making high-end designer mailboxes for $150 a pop, but slamming off-shore production just makes him look scared and petty.
