Hey all,
This morning I finally closed down my Patreon account.
I was holding off due to the fact that I had the "Patreon.com/Automation" page, and many of my old videos have links to it.
But after Patreon continued to close people's pages without cause (seemly just due to the fact that the employees of Patreon didn't like these people) I decided I would no longer do business with a company that really seems to have no ethics :-(
That said, my next challenge is building a PLC Suitcase Trainer made of components made in the USA, and I could use your help!
I've already found a great USA case company, and know a lot of wire companies who manufacture in the USA, but I'm running into an issue with 16mm Push Buttons and Pilot lights.
It seems like Eaton makes 22mm Buttons and Lights in the USA (have not verified yet) but it also looks like they stopped making 16mm ones?
So if you know of a company that makes either 22mm or 16mm button and lights in the USA please let me know with a post or message here or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrshawntierney/.
Thanks as always,
Shawn Tierney

When I originally launched Automation.Locals.com, I had hoped that it was going to grow into a new platform that would make it a perfect place to grow a new community. But after trading several long emails with their staff over the last several months, I’ve come to the conclusion that for my community to grow it’s going to be necessary to migrate to another platform.
That’s not to say I’m...
