[Kristina Tompkins]

Hi everyone here are some pictures of a doggie bed that my husband Steve and I made.

What do ya'll think and please let me know.


Thanks :)

[Jim Becker]

Lucky Dog!!! Very nice, Kristina!

[Kristina Tompkins]

Thanks Jim do you think I could sell these?

[Bruce Page]

Very cute, I think you could sell them by the truck load!

[Jay Brewer]

Looks great Kristina. Is there any pocket screws in that peice ??
Hope you are enjoying the pocket hole machine.

[Mike Heidrick]

Very nice.

Is that a UStoreIt warehouse in the background? Is that where the shop is? Hopefully that is not where the dog is :eek: :D

[Tom Sontag]

Thanks Jim do you think I could sell these?

Nice bed Kristina. Cute dog too.

Don't want to rain on your parade, but I feel compelled to point out the difference between selling them and making a reasonable profit over time. Consider making them by request or for friends, but as soon as you see this as a business, you will need to deal with competition with big machines and/or cheap labor.

I think you could sell them at craft fairs and such, but I don't think this is a full time thing. But I get the feeling you might be asking about tax implications (trying to deduct tools and such), that might be better suited elsewhere.

Hay Jay,

Not many in the dog bed but in these pictures of the bookshelf there are a lot. thanks for the pocket machine.

Hi Mike,

Yep that is a U Store it in the back. We got lucky we got such a big place we have a lot of machines and need all the room. I don't know if you saw the pictures of the shop. Here are a couple.

I like it Kristina, think it would look great near a couple of 'human size' Adirondack's. Could you sell it - yes I think so, maybe try marketing it to either somewhere that already carries Adirondack's (have you made any full size ones yourself?) or the week-end markets etc as suggested above.

As for the tax rules,benefits and regulations I'm not getting into that:D

Big question is...does the dog use it??? :D

We bought our dog her own bed....just takes up space for the most part, she's used it maybe 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months, maybe it wasn't fancy enough...:D

Looks good btw, if I was going to try and sell them, I'd think your gonna need to figure out what it costs to make them, then see if you can sell a few trial ones for that price imho

Kristina, just what is needed for those long dog days of summer. Great job. Very creative.

Very nice bed. If we had one of those, we might get a Lazy Boy recliner back for human use.;)

Kristina, dog bed looks great, like has been said, you might want to try a few craft fairs to see if there is a market, before going into big time production. I really like your shop, looks like a great place to make wood chips.
