We've been really blessed with some amazing partners in business.....by God's good grace we've just seemed to find each other. Here's one little story: Our initial EZ DOH machine's brace had been made of an extruded plastic and glued at a joint. Unfortunately, that joint proved to be a weak point that we had breakage problems with. So it was decision time - invest more money in EZ DOH and go with an injected plastic brace or just call it quits. We ended up deciding to "go for it" - but the question was "Who do we go with?" The daunting task of finding someone who understands your vision, is reasonably priced and who doesn't think you're crazy lay before us. Thanks to a little demo I did at a small farm, we ended up in contact with Dave, John and Paul at Disciple Tool in Lake Milton, OH. These guys were funny, food-loving and excited about our vision- it couldn't have been a better fit! They have been creative and ingenious - and we are so grateful! Each time we stop in to visit, I always treat the guys to some tasty yeasted creation. This has been
