Adrian McEwenIs #MaintenanceMonday a thing? Just been fixing up the #IndieMfg map as I'm sharing the research into local supply chains we did a while back at @MCQN_Ltd and for some reason umap had forgotten the URLs for dynamically loading the OpenStreetMap data.
Super interesting insight into how you scale up manufacturing, at the this-is-how-you-describe-steps-to-your-manufacturing-partner level, in the first talk at #OSHcamp
Blog All Dog-eared Pages - my notes from reading Christopher Frayling's "On Craftsmanship towards a new Bauhaus"

Thinking about it, the bowling was an accidental #LocalManufacturing story.
Vinny, one of our group, works at Drakes here in Liverpool - one of three manufacturers in the world of those bowling balls; and the resin used to make them is only made in *one* place in the world, which is in St. Helens.
Both those locations plus the place we were playing lie within an 8 mile radius.
Found some time to dig into why my embedded umap wasn't working on the Indie Manufacturing website.
Turns out it was a certificate issue. Now fixed. Yay!
