Got in the shop early and finished a couple prototype items, drove on some scary roads to make a presentation and jut got word they liked what I do and placed an order for 30,000.00 worth of stuff over the next six months with more promised. Time to figure out how to rearrange the shop to ramp up production.....

30k for 50 sheets of stamps... Are these $600.00 per sheet stamps made out of gold? That's a fantastic sale! Do it again... I didn't see how the trick was done so you need to do it again but slower...
:good2:

@Don Ratcliff - And building utilities, machinery as it wears out, taxes, presents to keep my wife happy, etc... That's the down side, It's be nice if the 30K was all profit but my pricing works out that I'll still make a really decent chunk of change. Plus this will be ongoing after the initial order. They plan to add one of the items to their permanent catalog and usually it's good for 3-4 years of orders before they phase an item out.

@Schroedc Back in business? Get to keep the doors open?

We've kept the doors open but haven't made any money the last 6 months really with paying bills. This means that with the summer show season and potential follow on orders I'll have my building paid off in full by December and going forward be in a much better place. Also looking at a few other things to add to the line for wholesale blank sales possibly as I'll be casting massive quantities of blanks.....
