after a busy last week things have calmed down significantly; about to finish a 900 page book in three days, which is quite an accomplishment

Thanks. We've been making spreadsheets already to try to figure out costs, potential profits, pricing, etc.

Weirdly enough, the ultimate backup plan is to make jewelry since a lot of the tools for making brazed steel bikes is the same as for working on jewelry. My friend and I have dabbled in jewelry as a hobby so we figure we can at least make the shop rental pay for itself with some jewelry sales if the bike business is a total flop. We definitely want to make the bike thing work though.
