I never spent any time on etsy. So after I read your post, I looked at the woodworking stuff over there. Most of it is complete crap, but there is some nice stuff. But it's generally priced way too low for the amount of effort that has to go into it. And it's priced way too high for the casual etsy shopper.
Seems like to be successful on etsy, you need to find something easy and very fast to make that would sell in the under $50 range. But it has to look like it's hard to make, otherwise people will just do it themselves. And it has to be appealing. Identifying that item is the tricky part. |

Guns don't kill people. Accents kill people. And monkeys too. monkeys kill people and accents kill monkeys.
what?

I hate accents. Why do I need a red pillow in my living room? I like my pillows to be complementary. "Why, that's a very nice ass you've just set upon me." Like that.

Helpful Hint: do not announce on the phone that you are on your way here and it 'ain't gonna be pretty.'
You really lose the element of surprise. ![]() |

On sunday, my Dad tried to chop a couple of fingers off with the lawn mower. Luckily, he only ended up losing the top joint of two fingers.
I've been up there for a few days helping Ma. Dad came home on Tuesday and by Wednesday (yesterday) wasn't in too much pain, so I came home to my house. Now I'm tired. I think another early night is in order tonight. eta: On tuesday arvo after Dad came home, we went and shifted the lawn mower (he'd asked Ma and I not to touch it because he was worried we'd fall in the dam ![]()

Wow! I'm glad he's not in much pain. A friend in college lost the tip of one finger and he said the pain was horrific, with all those nerve endings right there.

He said it was pretty bad for a day after the op (which was Monday), so Tuesday was the worst, but when he woke up on Wednesday it was down to a dull ache.
Dad's pretty tough though. He has a pretty high pain threshold. When he hurts himself he's one of those who's likely to just 'rub a bit of dirt in it and get on with it', type of people.

After that, I would trust the lads with the lawnmower, at least for a few months. ETA: Put it in some alcohol or similar, keep it in a jar in the shed, next to the mower. just as a reminder...

I think it'll go in the rubbish after the boys have seen it. Or maybe we'll give it to the dog. lol
He says he can't figure out why he put his hand in there. He says he knows it was stupid and that it shouldn't be done, but for some reason he did it. I don't suppose he'll ever do it again. He's already short a toe after falling off an aluminium ladder about 10 yrs ago. now he's got two short fingers. When we weren't sure how much of his fingers would stay on, the first thing Mav said was, "Grandad will only be able to count to 17 now". He's a funny boy sometimes.

haha...yeah. I don't think she'd eat it though. She usually gets plenty to eat, and it's usually a lot fresher than a fingertip that spent a couple of days laying under a mower covered in grass and dirt.

He'll make a great secretary now that he knows shorthand.
