About                 
In 2004 Jim Carson started Willo Design & Mfg to turn a product idea into reality. The concept of a low profile control knob for guitars had been around but no one yet had produced a practical design that could be manufactured in high volume. While the resulting prototype could only be produced in low volume a high volume version could be made possible with little modification. Four machines made the prototype possible. One Bridgeport, one lathe, one surface grinder, and one automatic chucker. It was these same machines that later produced the HyperChange toolholder system for Fischer Special Tooling and other time saving devices for the manufacturing sector.
