Another Order

[Bernie Weishapl]

Didn't want to post on the peppermill post but on our way home today I stopped by the Buffalo Bill Cultural Center. Talked with the lady in charge. I had taken my notebook full of picture with me of things I turn. She ordered over $1000 worth that she wants in 3 weeks for the beginning of tourist season. She said whatever sells well she would probably start ordering 12 to 15 at a time. She told me between 30% to 40% was what they wanted for wholesale prices. I told her the best I would do is 30%. She accepted and would pay me upon delivery. So guess my vacation this weekend with the grandson is over and off to the shop to turn tomorrow. So 10 peppermills, 20 birdhouses, 20 key chain pill holders, 20 key chain toothpick holders, 4 toothpick dispensers, and 4 lidded boxes to start. I hope I can keep up.:eek::D

[Roger Chandler]

Wow! I hope you don't end up busier than you want to be! I thought I read somewhere that you retired!? :rolleyes::D

[Doug W Swanson]

Sounds like you need an apprentice or two...

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks. Roger I gave up on retirement but the good thing it is fun.

Doug got a grandson that thinks this summer he could help on the little lathe while I work on the big one.:D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Headed to the shop today. Hopefully the birdhouses will be done in a couple of days. Hopefully things will go smoothly.

Congrats Bernie! You're going to be busier than a polititian trying to keep from passing good laws!

[Jim Burr]

We've had this chat for a few years now...retired means slowwwww dddoooowwwnnnnnn...notgofaster! Good score bud!!

[Timothy Mann]

Congrats Bernie, there is no way I could turn so much in so short a time, maybe some day.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. 20 pill holder blanks drilled and glued as are the toothpick holder blanks. I also got 4 of the mills turned today so all in all a good day. Hope to get the rest of the mills done tomorrow.

Mr. Burr I have slowed down. Well kinda sorta. Before I was working 10 hrs a day, turning and doing clock repair. Now I just turn and do clock repair.:rolleyes::cool::D

[Joe Meirhaeghe]

Bernie, way to go ! you must be busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Just keep your head down and keep kicking butt.

[Greg Just]

You're one busy guy. And you thought you worked alot before you retire! Good luck - take the orders while you can as they won't always be there.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Joe and Greg. Plan on doing just that Joe as long as the orders keep coming. As my late granddad would say, "got to make hay while the getting is good."

Greg it is a lot of work but hey it is not work though when you are having fun.:D

[Edward Cypher]

Nice it should keep you busy!!!

[Phil Labowski]

Congrats Bernie! That sounds like a great revenue stream for you.
