All About the Vibes with Mike Holmstrom
In this episode we're talking with Mike Holmstrom from Bodie Designs Woodworking who will be teaching many of the turning classes at MontCo Makers. We discuss all the kinds of classes, the atmosphere we're trying to create, and what it takes to make a profit at farmer's markets.
We are also getting extremely close to securing the bank loan to open, and we're keeping our eye on a May/June opening date!
Classes, shirts, and gift cards are now all available from the website! That is the best way to support us!
