Thanks I sell clock inserts.. only Gold with white face.. and only in the 37mm (1-7/16 ) and the same thing in 50mm ( 2" ).. I'm sold out on 2" ones at the moment and just got a order for the smaller ones but have not put them up on my website yet.. I have a order in for the 50mm but won't receive them until around April.. I buy factory direct.. all metal cases with rubber compression ring.. Not the cheap China motor you get with most other places.. I custom order mine with the Seyco watch motors.. I've been selling the 50mm for $8 each. and the 37mm for $7. Shipping is based on zip code and I usually do the cheaper first class mail if I can but you have option to upgrade to priority as well.. So long as you're in the States.. I do ship worldwide so if it's not working let me know.. sometimes the shipping thing messes up according to some customers but I haven't found anything wrong on my website end so not sure if it's shopper or website, LOL Most times shipping in the US is $5 first class or like $8.50.. but again.. will depend on where you are and the weight / size / how many you order etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don watson Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Loads of good work there. Looks like the camper is a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieline Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 GoGolf is already gone as a neighbor stop in to see what I was doing and liked it. Looking at the Happy Camper. Any preference to the type wood and grain? Poplar can be funny as you may not know what the grain will look like. I've had darker go real dark and some not so dark. I like what the grain does as sometimes it's a surprise. Other woods like the cypress you can somewhat predict what it will do. I am gutting a Hummingbird in Cherry for the boss of the house. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all. Cherry is my favorite wood to work with... Poplar is easy to work with but I'm not a huge fan of the various colors it makes once dipped.. BUT... it is the cheaper easier to work with so I've been using it quite a lot the last couple years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieline Posted February 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 I think the Hummingbird is looking good in Cherry. Will post a picture when done. Doing a couple others in Cherry. I like the various colors in Poplar for certain items. I think some of the puzzles look really good with the variations. But it also can take away from an item. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
