What's on our bench: 🎶

Dan is getting caught up with only 4 orders overdue, planning to work on a youtube video, got his second 3D printer, started prepping for holiday season, and making some cutting boards.

Braden is wrapping up the laser job, filled his shop with boxes, working with his new clamp rack, quoted a kitchen island build, and is prepping for craft fair season.

Pete has been working on laser files, printing and laser cutting new fun things to get organized, processed all the plywood he picked up last week, and started lasering stuff with the fiber laser to get familiar with the settings.

What's on our bench: 🎶

Dan is catching up on orders and is getting in the teens, right before getting a rush again, Sutton his helper has been a great backup in the shop, and he's dealing with some bad reviews?

Braden got a bunch of slabs from the omah-bros stash, installed the clamp companions, picked up a bunch of tools from a facebook marketplace score, and fixed his CNC tramming issue.

Pete is getting into the groove of things in the shop, working on trying out a new paint, went and picked up material from Makerstock, and visited Patrick Gensel.

TOPIC: Holiday Prep the set up your shop for success.

Our Holiday Prep List:

1. Plan ahead

2. Set clear goals and priorities

3. Notify friends and family and plan around events

4. DEADLINES - set deadlines and boundaries

5. DON’T FORGET Halloween, thanksgiving

6. Stock up on materials

7. Figure out your shipping and fulfillment - shipping and packaging

8. Research trends and popular items for the holidays - etsy holiday report, erank, tiktok, pintrest, etc.

9. Set up processes / efficiency / Plan out batching of items

10. Leverage social media / online marketing

11. Abandoned cart / thank you discounts

12. Personalization / holiday wrapping

13. Stock up on items where possible for those last minute shoppers

14. Self care / Don’t burn out!

Questions:

Patrick Gensal

Dan can you give me your exact dimensions, material, and keywords for the C tables and slide tables? k thanks!

Sarah Goldstein

Rosie's Woodshop

These questions all pertain to in person craft shows.

1. So last year I made as much as I could, but didn't have my own shop so I bought things wholesale from some friends and sold them. They sold really well and I'm debating to do them again. What are your thoughts?

2. Do I go ham and make a ton of pens or learn something new with my new machines? I only have maybe an hour through monday-friday each day and Saturday to do stuff.

3. Do I have many diverse items with low count or a lot of the same things for craft shows with high count?

4. Should I premake ornaments with what I think they should say or just have samples and let people pick what they want (but then they are waiting around for it to laser). I can still add customizations.

5. I over did the craft shows last year and got burnt out and took off January and February, how do I avoid that? I don't think I'm going to sign up for as many shows but I do enjoy them.

What's up my Beautiful Baby Bubbas and Big City Jess! You may not have heard, but Maker camp is coming up soon and I cant wait to give each one of you a big ol Mouth Hug. Since you brought up Maker Camp, here's my Q for your Sweet A's. Is there a random thing or nicnac you ALWAYS pack, regardless of where you're traveling? I'm not talking about regular stuff, like a toothbrush or an extra pair of undies incase of an accident. For example, I always pack swim trunks nomatter what time of year or where i'm going. Just in case theres a lake around or a pool we can break into. Or Something like Braden's security Blanky. Something that everyone doesnt always pack. What's a "Must Pack" for you guys?

Braden has been working on the car-themed signs and gifts for a car-themed craft fair, waiting for corporate approval for the laser box job, and he had a birthday party!

Dan's missing his shop help, cranking out etsy orders, started work on the bed frames, made 10 cutting board blanks out of scraps, keeping busy with slide table orders, and replaced brakes on his daughter's car.

Braden crushing through car themed items for the car event, waiting for a final approval for the laser job, ordered inexpensive cutting boards for lasering, and had to deal with a bat stuck in the shop.
