Members Hags Posted February 28, 2023 Members Report Posted February 28, 2023 I am retired andwork at a local golf course doing odds and ends, club repair, golf cart door repair etc. Pays a little money and a lot of free golf. A while back I gave our golf pro a set of coasters for his new office. I've done ball markers for them in the past so I have the logo they paid for to do those for them. A bit later, he asked what I could do more of the coasters for. Seems he got a lot of remarks about them. I looked at it and gave him a price thinking I might do a dozen or so for the pro shop. He wants 340 for a golf tournament in April. Glad I've got some time and didn't go cheap. Cudos to theleatherguy.com for having this many in stock and heavy leather, very pleased with the quality. Gotta get back to work! I'll postmore pics after they are finished. Don't overlook gifting as a possible seque to future business. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

PastorBob Posted March 1, 2023 Report Posted March 1, 2023 It's amazing what seeing one's own logo on a product does. From a sales standpoint, it can do wonders. Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel
Members Rubicon04 Posted March 1, 2023 Members Report Posted March 1, 2023 Looks awesome! Coasters tend to work out pretty well for gifts and selling. I made coasters as our wedding gift and have done some for a winery as well. Quote
Members Simplejack1985 Posted March 2, 2023 Members Report Posted March 2, 2023 Dang that's alot of repetitions at the same thing. Good luck stay motivated or it might get painful Quote
Members Hags Posted March 2, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 2, 2023 I can change them up. Going for groups of 30, have until the middle of April to finish. But yes, lots of the same thing. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

And where did you get the stamp made? Quote
Members Rubicon04 Posted March 17, 2023 Members Report Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) I have a 4 ton Weaver Mighty Wonder press and the stamps were made by https://www.augustinedie.com/ @Fraulein Edited March 17, 2023 by Rubicon04 Quote

Looking to invest in something for large stamps, but there's so many options out there, want to investigate before I spend that kind of money. Thanks for the stamp resource too! ~Frau~ Quote
Members Hags Posted March 18, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 18, 2023 I want a clicker press. I'm using a one ton harbor frieght arbor press with a two ton adapter (pipe!) On the handle. I've already broken one in half... Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
Members Hags Posted March 24, 2023 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2023 Whew! There's the one I was looking for, # 360 is on the table with the finish on it! It actually turned out to be 420. The event coordinator from our restaurant saw them and asked if she could have 60 for a dinner they were hosting. I'm about done with coasters for a bit. BUT, look what followed me home a couple of days ago! An 80lb anvil! I took my electric reel in for service and the saw this sitting outside in the dirt. Asked him if he would part with it and he said yes. He knew I made holsters and asked for a tooled leather case for his iPhone. DONE! It was a lot rougher than it looks now, and I don't think it's a very high quality anvil, but, it rings like a bell and has great rebound. Quite a bit of wire brush and rustoleum and it aint half bad. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
