Got a nice order for crafts.....

admin

Hey guys,Had a woman call regarding the listing I have on C/L for the crafts I make during winter. She & her family own an outlet business selling odd & one-of-a-kind items & crafts. I had the yard flower pot holders, the yard table, & the alum. D/Plate mailboxes picture in the listing. She asked if she could come to look at them & see if they may fit in with their outlet. I showed her my finished mailbox & the other units. I told her my terms & she agreed & bought (3) flower holders & (3) yard tables on the spot & asked if I could make (3) of the mailboxes in large(like mine), medium, & a small one. Got a 50% deposit & started the m/boxes yesterday. Here's some pics. The boxes are in the build stage & I wanted to show the size relation. The OD of each are; large one is 20.5"L X 14"W, Med is 19.75"L X 11"W, Small is 17.75"L X 9"W. She also wants to see some of the other crafts I do as well when she comes to pick these up. Anyway, gonna stay busy thankfully.Denny Attached ImagesLast edited by yorkiepap; 02-20-2011 at 10:34 PM.Complete Welding/Machine/Fab.

Reply:Hey guys,Thanks. The lady also wants one of the V8 mailboxes, although I didn't have a totally finished one for her to look at. I have one about 75% done & she could see the physical size of it & the pics I have. She wants to come over when it's finished to have a good look & bring her brother with her to determine if they will take one to put in their outlet.RaptorDuner:  Yeah.... retired from an employer. I like it as I can really get involved with the crafts now & then the repair season will kick in when the weather transitions & the sitting broken equipment that will be put into service for the upcoming spring/summer season.rednekk58:  Nope, don't mind. The large one is $275, med is $225, & the small is $175.strube:  I have good customers. Usually, the prototype has the most hours getting the final dimensional scale to where I want it. After that, it's all cutting with the cut chart made for each item. It goes pretty fast once I get all the material cut & prepped. Production is quite easy once you get a routine established.PapaLion:  Yeah, the m/boxes sell quite well as well as the yard/patio items. I have some new prototypes getting ready for assembly that are quite unique & I'll post them as I get them photographed from start to finish. The posted pics were taken last spring when the weather was nice & warm.....hope it gets here soon.DennyComplete Welding/Machine/Fab.

Reply:That potted plant holder/hanger could be catching. I can picture one of those in every yard."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt
