Exciting news for Seeders Instruments! A little back story first. This spring I almost made a move to Easthampton, MA to setup my own shop space and live in an area with more happening than rural Southwest Vermont. When I was days away from signing leases and committing to the move I spoke with my father in depth about his plans. Over the winter he realized it was time for him to take a step back from his business @dorsetcustomfurniture and mostly retire. This gave me a choice of whether to go or stay. It was a tough decision to make for many reasons but also a very natural and easy one to decide to stick it out in here in Dorset, VT. At the end of the day it made much more sense to invest into my family that has given me so much support over the years than anyone and anywhere else. Now for the big news! My fathers decision is giving me the opportunity to expand my workspace and take over the majority of the shop where I currently work out of a small upstairs corner. He’ll still be working in part of the shop doing his thing when and how he wants but without the worries of a lot of the overhead and keeping three employees busy and paid. I’ll be moving my main workspace downstairs where there’s way more room than I’m used to and lots of natural light. Part of the upstairs will be turned back into an apartment where I’ll also be living. This means a crazy amount of shuffling things around, cleaning, organizing, and renovating which has already started (some evidence of this in the photos). This will slow me down quite a bit for the next couple months but it’ll be a major step forward for my business. I can’t thank my father and mother enough for all the hard work they’ve put into building such an amazing environment for our whole family to be creative in. For those that don’t know my brother @sammovt Is a metal worker who’s shop is across the driveway and where I have my metal and spinning lathe. It feels amazing to be able to help give my father some of the well deserved freedom coming his way after this project is finished.
