That “bug” has since been fixed, Shannon. It was fixed quickly, actually.

I created a new shop on my website from bigcartel, and I love it!

@ LIZZ :
RE: Etsy. I thought they were good too – however, after a search brought up this ( https://arstechnica.com/web/news/2011/03/etsy-users-irked-after-buyers-purchases-exposed-to-the-world.ars ) I don’t know how many people would feel comfy using etsy – especially if they plan on getting something – let’s say, adult in nature.

[...] for “the shop”. The first of course is another variant on the Ken-doll ring (like the superhero ring that I just showed off), a mechanical man. Sort of steampunk I guess but I don’t want to go [...]

Long time, no see, Shannon.
Hope all is well. I haven’t been in the loop for a long time now. Checked your page and noticed Makerbot being mentioned. Have you created one yet? From what I know of it- it’s all open source. And, since you are tinkering with Makerbot, might I suggest another website: instructables.com
They have OODLES of idea for things to make (and a lot of the items are by recycling items). On that note, there are sections on there that have directions on how to create a CNC machine out of simple parts. Since the CNC part is pretty close to the idea of the Makerbot – it might be helpful. And then, the only thing you’d need to figure out – would be the plastic extruder (plastruder). BTW- one of the cheap ways to get the stepper motors for the CNC/ makerbot — is out of either printers or scanners. Scanners and some printers have the servo motors required for the CNC. And – in some of the printers (as well as old computer mice) they use encoders (which might be a quick and dirty way to have the servos “remember” their locations when moving along.)

Catch ya later Shannon!!!!

Might be worthwhile to look into shopify.com :-).

Wow, dibs on the Froggie Man if he goes up for sale. I’ll be looking for updates about your store to make sure I get there first when/if he goes up.
Your carving is getting pretty awesome, btw.

The shaking except when working on fine detail is actually a common phenomenom. Many people with Parkinson’s notice similar reactions, and the shaking is typically worse with idle hands.

Dare I ask why not etsy? Was considering setting up an easy shop myself!

I absolutely love it all! Especially little “Acky”. :)

We have ZenCart installed on our personal website and we love it! Before that, we had an account at BigCartel, which was good too.

I <3 Etsy. My new fascination is with Cargoh.com

You'd do much better with Etsy though… but I'm really impressed with the WordPress shopping cart plugin.
