Eddie Bohlin skillfully combined many talents.  He brought his extensive experience with horses to the trade, which led to him inventing a fiberglass saddle tree (the inner frame of a saddle) that is lighter and stronger than the wooden ones.  He was a strict taskmaster of the old school of hard work and incredible quality.  He was a great idea man and had the amazing ability to find and employ the best craftsmen in the entire trade. 

He was a true master of design and engineering, and would start a project and direct his master craftsmen in its completion.  Charlie L. Samples, a fourth generation silver and goldsmith, and Bud Phillips who spent forty-four years with Bohlin, are examples of his capable and loyal employees.  Bohlin employed tool and die makers, leather craftsmen, engravers and saddle makers all working together in unison.  On occasion his payroll included thirty-five employees.

Bohlin moved the location of the shop again in 1932, to 6309 Sunset Boulevard, and in 1937 to 5760 Sunset Boulevard.  In 1945 he moved once again, to 941 North Highland Avenue, where the company would remain in business until after his death.

His shop was one of the best equipped in the world.  Its capabilities included the processing of sterling silver from ingots into sheets of different thicknesses and then, using dies, stamp any needed shape of ornamental silver, many of which were then further hand-engraved and finished.  Bohlin manufactured his own rolling mill and drop hammer.  He purchased his own punch press to stamp silver buckles and ornaments.  Much of the silver was purchased from Goodwill Industries in the form of old sterling tableware and melted in his shop for tack ornaments.
