kmmcrafts Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Packing orders in the nice warm house. About half done with the overnight orders in the top box. Bottom box is yesterday’s orders. Then I get to pack the boxes that contain larger items like clocks etc. So during the holidays I spend most my time packing orders or making custom / personalized requests orders. Usually turn those away the 1st of December. I have a dozen to make now so that’ll take me up to the delivery deadline. Many folks will order even though they won’t get it until after the new year. Then I spend a large part of January doing bookkeeping for tax season. Mid January- February I get to go back to production cutting and starting to restock next years sales.

OCtoolguy Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Just curious Kevin, do you ever take the time to actually cut or make something that you just want to do for yourself? I know you have all kinds of experience with the different saws, woods etc but I never see anything that you make just for the fun of making it. Something not for sale.

I try to use recycled and earth friendly packing supplies when I can. I just bought a sample pack of some Kraft paper ones.. as I'm not super fond of the poly ones.. shipping labels don't stick real well to the poly ones.. I buy packing peanuts from Staples that are a by product of wheat I think it was.. anyway they melt once they're wet.. and I had a hard time keeping my dog from eating them. Anyway I'm looking into a place that makes / sells biodegradable cushion mailers.. I might try a sample.. Meanwhile I just bought 500 of them from this seller and they seem to be decent.. just that they're poly and I'm trying to find a better source. https://www.ebay.com/itm/373087821222?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=641873188375&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure I make campfires out of scraps and ooops projects every summer and from those scraps come homemade smores Okay on a more serious note, yes but it has been about a year or so.. But to be quite honest.. I really like cutting the car clocks.. I have no place or use for 100 different car makes and models so.. it's fun to make new designs etc.. Some of them I've taken down off the web because I got tired of making the same one a 100 times, LOL.. If sales are slow I sometimes will make a few batches and send an alert out on social media that I have them back in stock.. they usually sell within a couple weeks..
