Hello everyone, wow its been a really busy week as always but that is good. I have been checking my Stamps.com history daily and see some have been delivered and see some show just simply printed. As I said USPS is usually great for shipping, every once in a while they do screw up and I as I always have work with each and every customer no matter what to make it right with them and in the end everyone is happy. I will say that the USPS tracking service stinks and being this time of year it stinks a whole lot. Also each and every WS shipped is priority 2 day insured as well. Domestic is $7.50 and International is $15, I gotta believe that is a pretty good deal for anyone and considering I still pay on top of that to keep these rates solid. I know its gotta be frustrating that I had a delay in getting em out initially then there is a delay from the USPS and some may still not have it in hand yet having ordered from 11/22 but believe me I am here for you and will be way after the sale.
OK I learned something yesterday. When tracking says printed and thats it, its not that it wasn’t accepted cause it was it just wasn’t checked in. I spoke with the post master and then had a sandwich with him a couple stores down at the subway. It was crazy there today, when I was in line dropping off other orders I so the pile grow from the floor to over the top of the counter in just a few minutes of people dropping off stuff, jeez there is a lot of packages moving through there. So the PM explained it to me like this, being as how much comes into the post office his people can only do so much, when the pick up truck gets there whatever is labeled and ready to go goes no matter if its been checked in or not its gone so its on the move and hopefully it will show up at your door or they will scan it somewhere along the way to give us an idea. Said that its that time of year and its crazy for him and everyone there. I said yes I can imagine and understand, still wish I could give my customers tracking info and a better answer but this is what the man said to me and is what it is. Not sure what else can be done.
I have been turning the Amboyna and have said it before if youre not at IG and not seeing what I am doing daily then you are missing out. Holy freaking cow, I will show you this and assure you that you aint seen nothing yet.
Can you believe this is the same piece??? The burl in this piece is outa sight and the tones are so vibrant and rich with that tad of live edge at the top rim, you get it all in this WoodScents and then some. It is gone though and a couple more like it. Will say I have about 4-5 more blocks that are going to make stunners, if you wanna grab one I suggest you get at me soon as I dont feel they will last long. This one sold a few minutes after I posted it at IG.
Also got a load of one of a kind Stem/Accessory stands from a great friend down under all hand made with love and sent off to their new homes this morning for all to enjoy. Get a look at whats on the sides and back oh yeah all Aussie and Taz wood species. The back blanks are large enough for WS and are 1,000's years old Huon Pine, what a pleasure it has been ripping square in the shop. These have subtle figure and gotta love the golden honey tones. Side species are not quite large enough for WS but will make great stems or whatnots be it wanted.
I have been scoring wood last day or two I had not ever heard of, karelian birch burl, say what yeah I know but believe me what I have coming is out of this world. Almost looks like it will have platinum/gold/silver and even rich bloody red omgosh its insane!! Also got a small load of English Walnut in from my man
@phattpiggie Jeez who else you know doing it like this?
Had to do a custom job for a good guy
My first production Duck call, Cocobolo top and bottom. Really like the sound this all wood piece has. Was fun doing something different and feel it turned out well. I hope the guy who gets it really enjoys it.
Have added these to the site, wow they really are a fun accessory to have with WS
These are all made to spec for the WS Ti tip, each and every piece are fitted and guaranteed for the Ti Tip. I am not certain if they will work with others. I have the SS and M tips coming to compare so cant say if they are compatible or not.
@Magic9 Thanks, I will look into this more, I appreciate you posting up.
@Whisper 3 for $15 not cool. I am so hoping you have just been so busy getting to know your WS that you havent had time to let us know? Pls keep us updated.
@StoneMan So glad it made it and thank you initially for the wait you anticipated. I really like that piece you got, has some curling going on to give it that added flare. Its a beautiful piece for sure and hope you are enjoying. Will look to see more posts from you in the future.
@Ramahs Thanks for posting up advise always, you are the man.
@dankyanddoodle Hello and welcome to the forum, VVPS may be here end of the week probably be next week. Should have plenty so keep an eye out and get back at me.
@pxl_jockey &
@sixstringsmash thanks guys for helping out with the vvps, you guys are right about them, any will work really as long as you have the right cables. I remember when they first starting coming into play and got this tattoo power supply that you had to take one of the cable and solder on a 1/4" male audio jack, wow thought I was hot stuff hahaha, the dang thing got awful hot but wow I was able to control the voltage jeez how neat I that was back then. Before that we got a 13.5V DC power supply for our Zaps lol.
@pxl_jockey Thanks again for helping out, yes sir you are correct on the days I ship, and that I do it all from web to wood, mrs ed helps out alot when needed. I hope the above explains the shipping issues weve been experiencing. I appreciate you spreading the word and the love for what I do and love to do.
Thats it for me yall, I have had the heater on in the shop for a couple hours now and there are alot of treasures in there that need working. Take care everyone and holla anytime!
