Boonerings on The Blaze

[John Pratt]

Congrats to Bruce Boone for getting his products and name out there on "The Blaze" website run by Glenn Beck. Nice man-ring and great advertising.

Thanks guys. It's also on Gizmodo, DudeIwantThat, ThisIsWhyImBroke, Forbes, Uncrate, Defender.com, Gizmag, TalkingSquid, CoolMaterial, Guyism, Coolthings, OhGizmo, and a couple hundred more sites around the world. It started with one blog by of those lifestyle blogs and they all copied it from there. Last week, I got about 100,000 views on it. Just do a search for "Utility Ring" to see what I'm talking about.

Needless to say, it was a busy couple weeks in the shop!

This was the busiest week we've had either in a very long time or ever. It will be a couple of weeks before we even know, when the paperwork is caught up and the totals are in. At the end of each day, even with a mail bin full of orders going out, it looked like we hadn't done anything in the shop with all the orders remaining. It was all I could do to answer email and phones on some of those days. It was nuts! Lots of orders for the Man Ring from overseas; Russia, Taiwan, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Brazil, UK, Canada, Australia, Maccau, Germany, and a few others. There are magazines in Germany and television in France wanting to do articles. The shopping network contacted me. Even Forbes magazine in India!

The business comes at a good time. We need it to pay for the new laser. It was an expensive one! It does allow me some pretty crazy design freedom now. I have tons of designs in mind but not a lot of time to prototype them!
