### What is the best part about working at Offerman Woodshop?

The wood shop is a collective that supports itself, so we are all simultaneously working for ourselves and for the shop. Though I run the shipping department, I also make things here. We all have individual projects and then larger projects we work on that come through the shop. It makes the work environment more like a small tight-knit family-like business. We all take care of each other and are supportive of new endeavors. When someone is working out a project, we all take time to give feedback on design/build issues. We are friends, as well as co-workers. The best part about working here is working with friends.

### ![ows_group_940-705px](/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ows_group_940-705px.jpg)You probably knew the question was coming, but what is it like to work with Ron Swan… I mean Nick Offerman?

Working with Nick is like working alongside a Japanese sensei out of Mad magazine. He is a mentor and a prankster. He has a lot of energy and whether he’s here all week or for an hour he manages to make you feel like there’s a lot to do and you better get to it! He’s a great guy… and yes Ron does show his face here and there.

The Ramblin’ Rump-Stump, it’s a very stylish collapsible camp chair. Michele designed it based on a classic scout design. It’s nice when something gets reinvented in the shop and made anew. Woodworking can be pretty hip.

### How has ShipStation helped you with your business & what’s your favorite feature?

ShipStation helps us streamline our orders and track shipping easily. Before ShipStation we just used the Pony Express which people thought was cute but it took a lot longer for them to get their packages. It’s been a game changer! The various search capabilities are tremendously helpful for managing orders. Also the easy return shipment button saves tons of work. Basically, it does a lot of tedious work for you that you don’t have to do anymore and that’s really great.
