how about a carvaholic t shirt

[supershingler]

just a quick message to the people at lhr

if you would design a carvaholic tee shirt to sell you would get a lot of free advertising from all the happy customers you have

i know i would wear it with pride

just a suggestion

if anyone agrees add your name to the list and lets get the ball rolling lol

[b.sumner47]

Great idea! I'll take 4.

Thumbs up!! http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gifhttp://forum.carvewright.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

How about some input Folks!!


A little rough But something like this.

[dcurrysr]

Make mine Brown with Yellow Lettering
Dave

[2upchuck]

Count me in for a sweat and tee !!!!!

[jcorder]

Here Here, I will take a T and a Sweat shirt!! Got any hats?

[brady.schwyhart]

Don't forget to make em in XXL for us big fellers, I'll take two of each!
Brady

[ChrisAlb]

WOW!! http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif With all this interest, perhaps I should get back into making shirts....LOL

[jcorder]

did you notice how quickly chris picked up on the profit side of this issue...LOL Hi Chris, good to see you back posting.

[ChrisAlb]

Hey Jeff,

Aw no man.... you have me all wrong...LOL...it's ALL about serving the needs of others....Uh Huh....RIGHT....http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

Great to be back!!! http://forum.carvewright.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[RayTrek]

At the resent Oregon wood working show I was able to hang around with Joe Lovchik for Awhile great guy with a lot going on. He said he is currently working on a shirt for us carvers.
I would also be interested with the Carvaholic T and sweat shirts.
Are your ears on Joe.
Good day and Cheers
Ray

[jcorder]

oh yea, serving the needs of others...LOL....they feed us that crap here at the firehouse when they want us to do something that no one else will do..LOL

[supershingler]

maybe they need to have a contest to design a shirt
maybe give away a free carver for the winner lol

just a thought


kendall

[Kenm810]

Ya!! I vote to give away AL!!! http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif
at least for a weekend anyway
He could use the Rest.




Oh you meant the Machine Carver

[HelpBot3000]

We're always watching, and yes, we take notice when our customer speak. Is this seriously something you guys would be interested in? Because I'm sure our marketing department is listening right now. I'm just saying, when 1.130 came out everyone wanted multiple cut paths back... and we saw how that went :D

[supershingler]

im totally serious
i look more at what is on somebody's shirt that i would a newspaper add or a billboard

kendall

[jcorder]

yep I am serious, I would love to have the shirts and hats as well. It is a pretty great society we have here and we are all proud of it, so we would love to show it!

[Tom75]

that is a good idea . with the t-shert and swet sherts

[brady.schwyhart]

I'm totally serious about it too! Think of all the free advertising. Someone sees the shirt, asks "whats a carvewright" and we go into it from there. The potential for future sales just from that alone could be a marketing dream. I convinced my last unit (I'm retired from the Army now) to purchase one just by making one project and having a buddy give it to the Battalion Sergeant Major. He took one look at it and told the supply folks to buy it. A neighbor came over to watch me do a demo for him and make a project for his office and now he's saving up for one. And thats just from hands on word of mouth with folks I know. The shirts and hats would have total strangers asking about the machines. Plus, they'd look really cool too, ha ha. All jokes aside, a lot of products have thier own line of clothing and accesories, Coke, Pepsi, Nascar, Craftsman, etc. Why not get in on it. A Carvewright ball cap would be in direct competition with my stetson for headgear to wear out and about.
Brady

[HelpBot3000]

Wow, if you are willing to put down the stetson to show off a CarveWright hat that says something! Its funny you mentioned NASCAR. Honestly, I know some people here that would drool at the idea of being on a NASCAR vehicle. I'm going to just mention this thread to a couple of people that I think may be interested in the reaction we have here to the idea. You, my friends, are the flint and tinder. I'll try to get the fire burning! :-D


Barry

[dchris4691]

this is a great idea. put me down for 2 shirts (XL) and 2 hats. thank you very much.

[LittleRedWoodshop]

Has anyone seen this...... http://www.zazzle.com/littleredwoodshop you,ll find all kinds of stuff there.

[Audie]

I'm in for a hat, t-shirt and sweatshirt as well!

{Hmmmm, wonder if we can get a discount for the BETA version! LOL}

Seriously though, I would love to wear something that represents our dependancy. Maybe even a "ask me me how" incorporated too! Then we get some advertising too!

Audie

[HelpBot3000]

If it comes down to it I'll get some White Fruit of the Looms in the multipack and just write CarveWright across the front. What size does everyone want? lol :)

[jcorder]

jockeys or boxers?

[Kenm810]

How-bout some Ideas Folks http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Ken, your designs look great!

[HelpBot3000]

jockeys or boxers?

No, the shirts. But now that you mention it. Carvewright underpants huh? Not sure if that would be as hot of a seller but hey, you never know!

[jcorder]

so many thoughts, too many visions, not EVEN going there ...LOL

[brady.schwyhart]

Don't know about the undies, but I've got several pairs of PJ pants for lounging around the house with my morning coffee. Simpsons, Miller Lite, dice, and guitar hero. Would love a pair of Carvewright ones.
Brady

[atauer]

sleep pants would be kinda cool. Think of all the possibilities of what they could say!!!!!!!

I would post a few sayings here, but we gotta keep the forum clean! :)

[LittleRedWoodshop]

The difference......

[brady.schwyhart]

How bout this ya'll?
Brady

[Kenm810]

Audie, Here's one for you
"Black Chancery"

[Audie]

Audie, Here's one for you
"Black Chancery"

Ken, you have entirely too much free time on your hands! LOL
The hat looks great!

I like yours too Brady!

Dang, way too many choices now!

[atauer]

Here is something that we could hang up at a show.

Possibly a good slogan as well.

[supershingler]

i think ive created a monster here but all great ideas

i was thinking about maybe

C. O. G.
CARVEWRIGHT OWNERS GROUP
KENDALL

[HelpBot3000]

I've said this before and I will gladly go on record and say that we have some of the most talented and creative customers anywhere! I love the ideas here and I'm think that there are a couple of other people around here that do too.

[jcorder]

I can see it now, the ladies are going to want nightwear with the carvewright on them to hopefully get us OUT OF THE WOODSHOP AND BACK INTO THE HOUSE!!

[Eagle Hollow]

Would the $7.50 cap have a $12.00 S/H?

[atauer]

There needs to be a whole Carvewright wardrobe, from underwear to outer wear!!!!

[supershingler]

Do You Suppose Someone Will Mount A Marker In The Qc And Start Drawing Their Design On A T Shirt Stretched Over A Board

Here's another off the wall shirt idea.

Kendall

[atauer]

If you guys could have a t-shirt, what colors would you prefer?

Black with White lettering?

-or-

White with Black Lettering?

[brady.schwyhart]

I'm actually kinda partial to grey with black lettering.
Brady

[cnsranch]

Black T-Shirt and sawdust = bad.

[jcorder]

Black T-Shirt and sawdust = bad.

I have one of those, the wife does not appreciate it when I wear it to the table for dinner. She says the sawdust soaks up too much gravy!

[cnsranch]

mmmm, gravy-flavored t-shirts - there's a joke in there somewhere, but I think Larry The Cable Guy already did it.

[atauer]

So white with black lettering instead?

[MikeMcCoy]

If you guys could have a t-shirt, what colors would you prefer?

Black with White lettering?

White with Black Lettering?

I learned a looonnng time ago that Mikey and white anything doesn't work. :)

[cnsranch]

Alex - you find a sale on shirts?

White better, grey even better.

[Audie]

I would prefer grey (matches my hair) with black lettering.

[jcorder]

sooo many choices and sooo little mind, wish you had ask these questions 10 years ago!

[twinpeaksenterprises, LLC]

Can we get it in black and Grey!!! ha. Ill take a hat!!!

[HelpBot3000]

What about beanies / snow caps? For all of our northern friends freezing their tails off in the woodshop this winter?

[Digitalwoodshop]

Ya!! I vote to give away AL!!! http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif
at least for a weekend anyway

Oh you meant the Machine Carver

GREAT IDEA..... Could we get CarveWright's permission to use the LOGO?

I can make Coffee Cups, License Plates, Stickers and more with my Sublimation stuff.....

Can even do a full color picture on a license plate or mug.... "Ask me about my CarveWright" Carvaholic



T Shirts too.....

Have been busy cleaning out my wood shop today trying to make a place to work for the winter.... too much stuff in there....

Back to work.

AL

[atauer]

Maybe we will get the t-shirts afterall. Only time will tell.

:)

[HelpBot3000]

Alex, that's just mean. It's as though we know something that everyone else doesn't. Hmm... :-D

[cnsranch]

Like that's never happened...

[atauer]

Helpbot,

Whatever are you referring to??

[Kenm810]

I got an inside track - http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif - one of my Sons has been working with his Inlaws doing Screen Printing and Custom Embroidery on Hats, Jackets, Shirts, and What Ever.
They do a lot of work for Fire and Police Departments around here along with Schools, Sports Teams, and Commercial accounts.
It's Fun to watch their 4, 6, and 8 station machines running, talk about a blur of activity. Almost as fun as my carver.

Anyway here's a few more

[jcorder]

If you had one with eye holes in it, you could put the cw over one eye and the cc over the other eye and the CarveWright logo over the mouth!

[Kenm810]

Jeff,

Will Ya settle for over Nose maybe? http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

[jcorder]

Jeff,

Will Ya settle for over Nose maybe? http://forum.carvewright.com/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

LMAO too funny! I guess I will settle for the nose! Course if ya had a big nose, it would look like two words instead of a unibrow

[supershingler]

welcome to the great U. S. A. where a simple request for a simple tee shirt has turned into a complete line of clothing. only in the usa can someone take somebody's off the cuff idea and turn it into a profitable business venture.

i would be more that happy to wear the shirts and tee shirts but i dont know if im ready to drop my pants to show off my carvaholic boxers lol.

thanks for all the great replies and ideas. if we want to keep this machine available we happy owners need to tell all about it.

there is another thread from jeff about the negative post that carvewright has be getting. its time for some of up happy owners to step up on the peach crate and do a little sermon on the advantages over the disadvantages
(come to think of it what are the disadvantages).

only disadvantages is im not 20 yrs younger and more computer literate to be a pattern designer like some of you are. second is i have a full time job that i work at 55 hrs a week so i dont get to spend the time in my shop making the cw sing .

i have 15 yrs to retirement and all i hope for is the cw is still around when i hang up my real job for a job that i really love to do. only thing more amazing to me that putting a piece of plain lumber in the carver and bringing out something that when you show it of people give you that " i cant believe you made this" look was the birth of my kids.

nuff said tonight

time to jump on board and let the happy users have a voice and not listen to the whiners. i respect the forum moderators for letting everyone post here
they could just delete all the negative threads but they listen to everybody.

well happy carving all

kendall

p.s. i wish i would of copywrighted the word carvaholic i could of made a bundle on the use of the work lol

[SharonB]

Don't forget the ladies out there.....maybe something in Pink.

[Kenm810]

Of Course We Can't Forget Our Ladies!!

How's this for a start

[atauer]

Gentlemen,

Let's keep this thread on the subject at hand, which is a "dream" of having carvaholic t-shirts. The thread was started to basically throw a great idea up into the air to get feedback. I am removing the past few posts. If you wish to discuss the issues with each other, please either start a new thread or PM each other.

Thank you.

Ha! ha! ha! sweet hb3k, good one
Mark

[toymaker]

Some time ago, when the forum first started, the bugs were being worked out of the machine and dirt was created, a thread was created to state "You might own a Carvewright if...". It would be neat if a shirt/mug/sweatshirt can be made with the top ten reason you might be a carvaholic.

Toymaker

[brady.schwyhart]

If you like sawdust instead of pepper on your scrambled eggs

If you have a truck that doesn't run, and three machines that do

If your air compressor hasn't aired up a tire in 5 years

If someone mentions they have a bad stain and you ask them what kind of brush they used to apply it with


Sorry folks, couldn't resist, toymaker got me going on that.

If you guys need a screen printer, I am one. I'll give a good price and can do everything from t-shirts, sweatshirts, and even canvas bags. Whoever is heading this project, just drop me a PM and we can talk details.

[RanUtah]

I think I suggested these a long time ago. I'd like to see carvewright come out with a whole selection. Love to have a sweat shirt.

[Kenm810]

I know the folks at CW have the T shirts in the Online Store.
I'm going to the Wood Worker show this weekend near Detroit,
I'll add your suggestion for Sweat shirts to a few of my own,
when I see the Reps from LHR at the show.

[HelpBot3000]

Well if you guys want to see more clothing products make sure you pick up the t-shirts they just put out. That will send a definite message that you guys are in support of clothing products. You know the old saying about currency and bovine bi-product. :) I'll pass along the idea about the sweatshirts though.

[MikeMcCoy]

You know the old saying about currency and bovine bi-product. :) I'll pass along the idea about the sweatshirts though.

Since I was ordering some parts anyway a little while ago, I did order my T-shirt also.

[HelpBot3000]

All right, show that carvaholic pride!

[supershingler]

has anyone thought up any more sayings for you might be a carvaholic?

heres one for all

"you might be a carvaholic if your wife know the first place to look for you in by your carver"


kendall

[oldjoe]

If your idea of a bailout package is a new QC and a 1/16" carving bit you must be a carvaholic.
