Oges Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just some keychains I made over the weekend for the kids teachers and one for my Secret Santa at work. The ones on the right are Jarrah and the ones on the left are Tasmanian Oak (I think), finished with a few coats of Organoil Danish Oil. Pattern was done using Steve Good's - Scroll Saw Keychain Maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oges Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thankyou all for the feedback, received some great feedback from the teachers that received them, they were amazed by them as were the other teachers who saw them. It has now sparked a lot of interest from other teachers wanting one for themselves and wanting to order some for friends and family. When the kids came home they had a request from one teacher wanting to order 6 keyrings .. I was unsure of a price for them, but after suggesting $10-$15 they said that was too low and said they would pay $20 each ... like I was going to complain about that LOL In addition to that, one of the teachers who received a keyring enquired about Fathers day ideas for next year, they want a list of items .ie. keyrings the students can order for their dad. So now I have to come up with a few different items as suggestions .... does anyone have any ideas for Fathers day and Mothers days items? they will need to be something simple like keyrings and something that wont be too expensive.

Dan Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hey Brett, keychains look great. As for ideas for Mother and Father's Day, maybe refrigerator magnets. You could even adapt the keychain idea. Just add a thin backer of different color and a glue on a small magnetic strip. I also noticed that a lot of people are selling (and apparently buying) pendants. So maybe a scroll sawn pendant of a couple of different woods. Drats! Now I've got myself thinking again.

wombatie Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 That's great Brett, I'm happy for you. Down here I would have trouble selling them for $10, they are very scrooge like when it comes to parting with money. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
