Solid Rock Machine Shop Inc.
My name is Steve Barton, my son Adam is the owner of Solid Rock Machine Shop Inc, located in West Michigan. I am helping him start his business, Adam provides most of the finances as he earns them and I contribute 40+ years of experience. As of this date 8/31/17 we are in the process of filing for our first patent and hopefully will be able to share it with our viewers in about 3 months if things go well. We have a few other ideas that I believe we can patent and produce, this is the direction we want to go with Solid Rock. If it does not work out we can fall back on job shop work, but we would rather be able to make a product to sell. Together we are teaching his younger brothers and sisters the trade.
