I need advice about developing this bead thing.

Another thing I just thought about:

is it possible for you to take a hard look at your production methods and see whether their might be new and novel ways to do it all?

You might find a means which to triple your production and half your time. Then, you could even run a surplus of product, stockpile and then take extended hiatus for that and still supply your market. All the while actually doing that with less time.

Just another thought.
