Congrats Pete! Now you can get more cash to invest in this money making business called woodturning. I know somebody's got to be making money off it because I'm spending a lot on it.....I was shoved into the Vortex!:D

Congrats on the sale Pete. I remember my first sale and I was like "someone actually wants to pay me for this?"

"off the schnide" usually refers to sports where a team is winless or a player hasn't gotten a hit or something and when they finally do they are "off the schnide". Now that Pete has his first sale he is officially "off the schnide" (you hear it a lot on ESPN).

Congrats on your sales Pete! Great looking items! Guess the next step is to get your boys setup as production turners to help you keep up with the demand!

Thanks for the comments!
Mark, thanks for your explanation and spelling help.

Steve, funny you should mention that. Last night my ten year old measured, drilled, threaded and rounded 4 stoppers for me!
