Hello all,

I aplolgize if this is the wrong place to post this. But I am to excited to think. I met with a manufacturer lastnight that wants to expand their product line. And he wants me to cut clocks for him. He will assemble. I just cut, sand and finish. And this is just the start. He wants to include desk sets the have pens and so on. He was so excited he was shaking.

So I'm sitting here thinking OH NO what did I do. But I am in the shop making 3 different samples for him.

I almost gaveup but looking back and seeing where God is sending me and how awesome all of you are in supporting each other. I know this is right.

THANK YOU !!
Dave

IF I still lived in Southern California I would be doing "Apple" based Clocks and stuff for the Tourist Destination of Julian, CA... With the large population of Military in that end of California and Julian being the Tourist Destination with the Old Town Feel with MANY small shops selling "Apple" Based tourist products.... Generally Speaking, the Large Military Population has slightly more "Disposable Income" then many....

Good Luck with your Wholesale Project. You can always adjust UP your price as you calculate the "Real" cost to make the material with Machine Wear and Tear, Material, Labor, and Electricity. I have been down this road and price is important.... I was so excited for the work I under bid my actual cost... and lost money.... see picture...

I even contacted Klock Kit about supplying Raw Wooden Carved Clock Blanks for the Catalog but the price offered was below cost of material....

Good Luck, I wish you the Best !!!!

Dave,

So so pleased to hear your good good news. You will do fine.

It sounds as this could really grow in to something really big for you.

It is offen hard for us to see were God wants us. Due to us, looking at eveything with our eyes, not God eyes.
As we view time, God view time in his time frame, not what we think it should be.

Take care and the very best on your path.

Thank you all for your uplifting support. I want to show pics of what I am making. But the company wants sole ownership. At least for now.
