I've been in the process of completing a very large order (large for me). Mostly the trouble was in the details. I received an order that include a bunch of acrylic pens, and I just don't turn acrylic much at all. It was a nightmare. Chip-outs, cracks and breaks. In addition they ordered some bracelets but they wanted them a bit larger than I had been making them. So... yeah. It was a bit of a learning experience, but now that I'm all done I feel great! They're all completed and delivered as of last Friday. Hopefully they sell well and I can put my new skills to work making more...

Even with the shear number of folks selling woodworking items on Ebay, I still have managed to sell more pens via Ebay in the past 2 months then I ever did from a year of being in a shop. Plus I get more for each item while it cost the end user less! All this because I don't have to split my sales with a shop, or deal with the possible product loss or poor product placement. Just when I thought Ebay was becoming irreverent, it goes and surprises me.
