Work's coming in. Gary sold one of his wood vapors---the one called 'Twisty' to a guy in Germany, and while we wait for the funds to come to our bank via PayPal, we package up this little treasure. Gary's slipped in a hand-made scoop as well, to pad the deal. The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, is soothing this customer, who's apparently never used PayPal like this, so that he knows we're for real. He's anxious to get a tracking number, but we can't supply one until the money clears. Anyone who's used eBay (not that we're selling there) knows this, but again....this guy seems to be a novice. Everybody's in a hurry these days, aren't they? And being suspicious is the norm. I totally understand where this guy is coming from, but hope he can hang on.
AND (the ultimate happy dance), the woman who wanted the 3 beds built told Gary yesterday that, not only, does she want the beds, but actually wants 5 built, not 3---plus a bathroom cabinet and 2 end tables. He gave her the bid late yesterday afternoon, and while she said it sounded fine to her, still needed to check with her husband. Looks like after a wild ride at FedEx for the last 9 months, it's time to be serious woodworkers again.
Glad to have my woodboy back.
