Mark Harrell
Heres another quick update from Mark at Technoprimitives. He recently sent me some new pics and an update on his back saws. Ive been lucky to be able to correspond with him over this past year; to watch as he gears up to launch a new business is an exciting thing for sure. From the initial ideas of his logo and etchings to the spectacular medallions and environmentally friendly packaging I wonder what it takes to make this kind of leap of faith into a market that is really a niche to most. Ive often thought about how Tom Lie Nielsen must have felt 25 years ago, when he first left the security of a day job to begin his own dream...a boat load of courage and a whole lotta love besides the sheer talent it takes to manufacture a top quality hand tool. Then to turn this ideas into a reality, a flourishing business-especially through this past year of economic uncertainties. If Marks saws are anything like the magic he puts back into the vintage hand saws hes been refurbishing these past few years then I really dont think hell have any problems. Maybe Ill be blogging about him and all of his success with Bad Axe Tool Works in 25 years from now!
Stay tuned...
