    Let's Talk About Stuff.

Our goal in posting our blogs is three fold: To introduce timely industry news that is relevant to our clients; to post items we find interesting and entertaining, and finally, to give you a glimpse of TSW US “Behind the Curtain”. We take the business aspects of what we are doing very seriously, but we like to have fun, hopefully that shines through here.

Our Blog is a puzzle being assembled. Sometimes the individual pieces of the puzzle don’t look like the whole picture once completed – You have to keep adding pieces one at a time to make the image clear. We hope you keep coming back to see how the TSW US puzzle takes shape.

We had another full day of in-house product photography yesterday at Elarbee Media. It is always fun trying to be artistic with pieces and parts, and we love the challenge. Our creative photography of parts is likely why we have also seen several of our layouts copied within the firearms industry. It makes us smile. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
