More turnings

Well been busy with orders. Have made 14 more business card holders and 13 more seam rippers. They have been selling pretty well. The seam rippers on the right in the picture are ones I bought at Wal-Mart and are selling the fastest. I get $14.50 for them. I can make about 4 a hour. The others are a woodcraft kit and take some time to get right. The O rings that fit on the ripper part are really tight and sometimes you can't get them to seat in the handle without a whole lot of pressure. So I took some 220 grit wrapped on a dowel while on the lathe and let it spin. When I get them to a point where they will push in I stop and then use a gun cleaning cotton swap with white rouge on it to polish it. Seems to do the trick but a pain since they should work to begin with. The business card holders are the second batch and seem to be selling pretty well. Pretty easy to make and can do 3 a hour. I made another dozen pill and toothpick key chain holders. Forgot to take a picture before they left.

Nice stuff!

I put a tiny bit of petroleum jelly on the seam ripper o rings and it works mint. Still has plenty of staying power and pops in and out easily.

If you don't mind me asking, how much $ do you get for a woodcraft kit seam ripper?

I'm going to have to look at Walmart for those rippers there. I'd imagine they're a good bit cheaper than the woodcraft kit.

Thank you all. Michelle I have been busy but still fun. Of course the money ain't bad either.:D

Dan for the woodcraft kit I get $18.50 and the ones from walmart I get $14.50. They cost me a $1.37 plus the scrap wood. Sent you a PM Dan.
