Got two orders for hundreds of scroll items .one customer  you'll remember i made her name just because i liked the sound of it ,she was giving away mulch is how i met her FELICIA,She ordered onyx's? It's a bow tie looking shaped thing. The lower  the price  the more she will buy.She offered 3 dollars a piece they  are 3"x5".I told her  I'd be ripping her off big time for some thing that takes seconds to cut.So at that ,it looks like I'll be making thousands.And then another guy  had a yard sale outside his warehouse and i bought the baby table saw ,a craftsman from He does religious stuff and clear coats in epoxy.I brought him samples and he keep writing something down on paper .When it was all said and done he too wants to buy low and order hundreds monthly with out fail. Ends up  he's a an international seller and will give a nice deposit for all my stuff i make.Miracles never cease!The paper  had numbers and items with descriptions he wants to get right  away,which is an enormous amount of cutting.I've been crying for more work but this whoa, hopefully no more struggling.Yes GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!Thank you SSV for all you've taught me thru the years ,It's paying off now!

Great news Kevin! You are now Mr. Bigtime! We might as well buy stock in coffee now because Kevin's going to be drinking a lot as he burns the midnight oil.

Great news. You'll probably have to hire subcontractors, start wearing a suit and partaking of 3 martini lunches. Soon you'll have to start referring to yourself as Kevin, Esq.

 

You're gonna be a busy boy.

Way to go Kevin it comes to him who waits. Good on ya. :thumbs:  Roly

I have the go ahead to make hundreds from the wood guy but we need to work out a payment for each item ,so i'll br making samples of what he wanted and see where it goes.He wants low prices so they sell fast .A lot of the  stuff  is quick name things,here's the list he gave me:

1:Jesus loves you 2:Jesus my hero 3:Worlds greatest mom4:I love mom5:God is awesome 6:My special mom 7 Golf mad 8: Special mom9: God bless this home10:God's place 11:ruth 13 :noah 14 : ten of each every month and then the orders keep getting great in numbers.Actual anything religious is what he wants but these are what i showed him that i had on hand. bbutb had no times as to how long they took took for him to give him a lowball price.Moneys available he says .He got a $600.00 ware house and just pastes paper word things on like ten commandments 12"x14: on plywood that's routed on the edges and thick table top epoxied  for a living .But he wants the price first,it's coming!Thank Roly
