Red Art Technologies' own Ralph Hansel discusses his personal and professional experience with engraving concrete and supporting Red Art customers.

Yeah, well, so I've been clawing for 20 years full time. And I do everything from pulling a self leveling, show Nick's products, doing tile, customer showers, carpet, carpet, tile, plank, sheet vinyl. One of the handful guys out there that know how to pattern scribe. I was fortunate to learn from some guys that learned this in the 80s. They're all old now. I'm 43 years old, and these guys are in their 60s, and they're not out there doing it. But in my small town, I can't just be one, right? One type of flooring, I have to do everything. And I've always worked by myself. And now that I'm 20 years into it, it's really hard on my body. And I, you know, I my doctor told me, he said, How much is your rotator cuff worth? You know, or how much is your knee worse, you know, he's like, you're selling your body part in this trade, which is a great trade. Don't get me wrong, it made a lot of money in the flooring trade. But it made sense to me this machine's hand in hand with it. There's a lot of concrete guys doing work after they don't have led art machine. And if I had a coffee company, I would definitely be looking into it. That's multitude of things you can do with it is what's so captivating.

Oh my goodness, I don't know if it's a side gig or if I need to go full time. I'm telling you being my wife we've both gotten right now. $3,700 at least sitting in orders, waiting, just waiting on me. So it hasn't been. Yeah, anytime that that machine is not running, it's costing me money, and it's paid for itself. Now, I can't say that it's paid for itself yet. But if you're looking at I've got $3,700 in the shop, I've paid a third or a fifth of it right there. You know, I don't know what the answer is on that.
