Woodworking

Thanks. I wish it got me somewhere. I'm such a downer.

Rome wasn't built in a day. You have your hands very full.

Maybe you need a cute sales-girl to go door to door, selling, in the right neighborhood.

Have you tried listing on eBay or Etsy? There is a world of impulse-buyers out there.

 

[Wood Collector]

I was trying to sell my stuff through Etsy but drafted to find that the fees kept going up and I had little interest in my items so gave it the flick.

 

[SeanKroll]

Population and shipping probably have a lot to do with things, I'm guessing.

 

[Wood Collector]

Yep, shipping is the biggest issue for me when selling things like chopping boards as they weigh quite a bit

@Raj how far to the border for you? West system epoxy is 100$ gal , 60 for a big thing of hardener. Maybe work the road trip?

Hey butch, does the @thing work here btw?

 

[SeanKroll]

@ruel, no

 

[MasterBlaster]

@thing? Wut???

 

[Raj]

I'm not far from the border, but customs would still ding me for US products.

Sold 5 boards this weekend. Filling a crack in a small board for someone. Polyester resin.

 

[SeanKroll]

Congrats on the sale, and maybe new technique. Haven't seen you filling cracks before.

 

[Raj]

I try to avoid extra work/extra cost, but to make a sale I guess I have too. Rough sanded first with 80 geit on belt sander, then 120 then 600 on the epoxy resin, round swirls to avoid scratch marks. Did this at rhe GF's place, didn't have my palm sander.

Hey, bud, you meant Black Walnut and not English, no?

 

[Raj]

Nope, english. Here's the bark.

On some software, when a user writes @Masterblaster, mentioning you in a post, you get a notification in your forum Inbox. Keeps you in the loop, draws your attention to a thread, or let's people know when you're being mentioned, for whatever reasons.

On FaceCrack, the idea is similar.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Gawd, I'm glad I don't have that enabled!

So it's a stool??? That's a lotta work! Very cool!!!

Some walnut. 7.5ft, 9ft and 4ft long. 12-20" wide. 3 and 4" thick. Hope I can resaw them soon to 1.5 and 2" thick. For now they sit.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ka-ching!!!

 

[Raj]

Yup!

I just have to figure a way for people to smoke it or shoot it up.

[SeanKroll]

Convince them you've smuggled bath salts impregnated into the wood. Sell them a hand-plane with it.

 

[Raj]

First bit of black walnut from my recent job came out of the kiln. 2 months. 10% moisture. 16-13" wide 2ft and 20" long. 1" thick. Planed and rough sanded.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You're rich!!!

 

[SeanKroll]

Cool.
