No I’m not suggesting that he throw away perfectly good materials. I disagree that he put a lot of effort into really trying. There was little to no follow up after discovering the parts weren’t from US. There was no attempt to contact the American chain mail supplier about limited capacity. Why is it that they can only supply so little amount? What would it take to increase capacity? Is it lack of people, machinery or investment? We don’t know because it wasn’t in the video. Same thing with the knobs that came from Costa Rica. There was no follow up. He didn’t even try to source knobs made locally. He just said he will later. He started out the video sounding like he was determined to figure out a way to complete the task of trying to make a product made locally but he kinda just gave up and decided to just ship the product as is. The video was suppose to be an education focused but it slowly turned into a marketing video. I find that disappointing.
