Sales aren't really there. Seems like when I first started I was making way more
with way less skill then I have now! haha And thank you!

Man, from the great photos and beautiful designs I'd have thought you'd be killing it. Maybe you aren't hitting the right target audience.

Yeah I don't know. I have high and low and medium price range pieces. I've been thinking etsy may not be the place for me. I know another seller of same kinda knives and such and he doesn't do too well on there either. I usually do pretty good at shows, live in person. But this online business aien't the business!

you have an actual website? i know it costs money but if you can get enough traffic to it, it might be worth it.Β

I did. But man, too much to know and try to learn. That was years back. Might be easier now, they look way easier to set up.

I think if you hit the newyork market or a fashion person you'd be set. just gatta get into the right market i think and you wouldnt be able to make it fast enough.

I did a shoe in LA for the past two years as a demonstrator. I'm 1 of 5 for the LA's Original Farmers Market and we sign agreements we're just there to sell. But can have product for display. Anyway I always always have people wanting to buy stuff but they watch you like hawks and you agree not to sell. Shoot the first year within the first 10 minutes I had at least 300 in sales I could take upon. But you're right somewhere out there my stuff has a place!

Yup, I'm still kicking. havnt been on here much at all lately but i'll have to change that. I got a forge up and running and have been busy learning skills to become better at blacksmithing. I've also been making some scrap metal sculptures that i'll eventually post on here. How have you been?

Hi there, I saw your boline and I love the model, how much would it be to commission one, like the Boline 1 picture but I'd love if possible a crescent moon shaped blade if not I really love the design as is...I'm in Canada and from what I've seen it wouldn't be a problem to bring one in. Let me know when you have time...thanks!

Hey! your work is amazing! where can i buy some (if i can)?
I found oyu because i recently joined Wicca and need some supplies... i've got arangements for a bunch of stuff, but i can't seem to find a place to buy a bolline and the web pages i did find don't ship to Europe ...

Thanks so much. you could commission something. but I don't know when I could get to it. ive been really busy lately.
Note me and i'll see what I can do and get back to you

Jonislav In reply to deathatsix [2014-07-13 07:27:40 +0000 UTC]
After some research I found that even if I did commission you and I liked the product There would be no way to get it to my country because it has very strict shipping laws... I would need a special permit for a knife to get past border control and it costs a lot to get one... So I'm afraid I will not be buying any of your work ... I might still commission some, but no promises...

deathatsix In reply to Jonislav [2014-07-18 05:02:42 +0000 UTC]
Ok, sorry to hear of such laws,Β even for a blade for peaceful religious reasons.

Yeah, I was sad when I found out too. And it's just for things sent via mail. If I went to a different country, bought it there and drove home, I would have no such restrictions... So now i'm looking for a shop with such items in one of the neighboring countries...

Hey, I was just looking at your keys and they look amazing! I was thinking about maybe saving up some money for if you had any commissions open for these keys?
What would be the price? I basically want keys modelled after these: [link]
Would it be possible? Thank you!
