The business I am in (glass) is very much like the plug building profession.. Its all about production process. Instead of turning out 100 poppers in a day, I'm making 100 christmas ornaments in a day. IMHO the secret to starting up any sucessful business like a plug building gig, would to emphasize more on marketing than outsourcing in the begining.. I wouldnt even consider outsourcing my work until I had such a demand that I couldnt make it fast enough to meet the demand.
Another thing to consider is that people will always be willing ot pay a few more bucks for a quality product, and finally, when you outsource, you are training someone else to make your work and in doing that, you are training a future competetor....
did that make sense
