Getting ready for the Christmas! 🎄🎁 (sorry to intrude on your February) In order to achieve that classic Christmas tree shape 🌲, our trimming/sorting line will be running all day, every day for a month. Our goal is to ensure that all of our 6" plants are the same height and shape before they hit stores in November, which means the 4” inputs also need to all look the same before they get planted. We’re using our pyramid trimmer to get rid of any deformities and encourage new branching. It’s an extra cost but we know the end result will be much better! (I’ll show the results 9 months from now!) #trimmingline #startgoodendgood #qualityfirst #horticulture

It's amazing to see a manufacturer like Sauder Woodworking Co. take control of their own destiny and push optionality in the area. This creates a win-win for local operators and their own manufacturing operations. Veryable - Make. Your Way. #manufacturing #ondemandlabor #productivity #operationalexcellence #futureofmanufacturing #ohio

Where should you use your paint roller and who pays for the material?

Recently I wanted to prototype a sidescroller for fun and I wanted to share how I started to make colored placeholders : First I build (procedural way for sure) some modular wall panels then a HDA to make a simple building generator and here is the point : I used MachineLearning to generate some messy Brooklyn "kingpin inspired" abandonned shop fronts, using depth controlnet to achieve better results. The flow needs to be improved but it greatly helps to colour the greybox. #houdini #unrealengine #machinelearning

You learn something new every day in the field of #historicpreservation. And this is what keeps me grinding and wanting to do more and more.... Quick re-cap: *While assessing the tile in our #historicrenovation project in the New Center Neighborhood of Detroit, we connected with Pewabic about the restoration of the tile. *Pewabic directed us to reference tile manufactured by another tile company: the Flint Faience Tile Company out of the City of Flint. WHO KNEW?! *These handmade tiles of the Flint Faience Tile Company grew out of the fledgling 1920s auto industry. *During the early years of #generalmotors, ceramic tile became a quirky offshoot of the auto manufacturing process. Albert Champion, who manufactured and sold spark plugs for General Motors (Champion Ignition Company and later AC Spark Plug Company), realized that kilns used to create the porcelain caps on spark plugs could be damaged by repeated cycles of heating and cooling as they were turned off at the end of the day. So he devised a way to keep the kilns consistently hot, using them to fire colorful tiles during off-hours from spark plug production. Thus the Flint Faience & Tile Company was born in 1921. *Tile production started off with a range of standard field tiles in colorful hues, but the company soon added increasingly elaborate designs to the mix—geometrics, stylized florals, animals, even faces. The tiles’ popularity quickly grew far and wide—including an installation in the Presidential Palace of Peru. Flint Faience tiles were prominently featured in the homes GM’s early executives built in Flint. *(Excerpt of History of the Flint Faience company can be accessed by clicking on this link from the Old House Online, June 2021: https://lnkd.in/efs2DYyA) #savingplaces through #historicpreservation #flintmichigan
