Crafting Supplies

If you're a crafty person, whether for yourself or for resale, one of the bigger obstacles can be getting wooden shapes at a workable price, as large craft stores tend to charge massive markups for simple things that can be made relatively painlessly with a table saw, band saw, drill press, and/or strip sander.  Unfortunately, not all crafty people have access to these small and mid-sized machines.

For simple polygons (triangles, squares) or compound polygons (e.g. stars and Christmas trees), send me the dimensions (including height), desired materials, key constraints, and volume, and I'll quote you a bulk unit price based on an estimate of how long it will take me.

Most of the work is in setting up machines: a 3.5 inch pine triangle contains about 18 cents worth of wood, but it requires two (simple) machine setups to cut it from a common dimension board, so if I'm doing 100 cuts on each setup, things go faster and they get cheaper.

I can also do unfinished simple furniture, such as staked stools, in bulk, on request.

I will not work with pallet wood because it's full of dirt and nails that wear out my tools.  New pine is cheap and faster.
