On the Workbench…
This week, I’ve been experimenting with video and how to incorporate it into my daily routine. Etsy has been after me to add a 15 second video to my listings.
15 SECONDS?!!!? That barely gives me time to turn on my saw and get a keychain queued up. So, I am squeezing a 2.24 minute video, using ClipChamp, down to their requirements.
Admittedly, I am no Spielberg. Here are the results, with the full length clip first…
…and the Etsy clip…
Any thoughts or tips from would-be filmographers would be welcomed.

For customers, this should ease your mind that your order is quite important to me and being attended to, not sitting on a clipboard or in the to-do pile. Also, if your order is being sent as a gift to a recipient at another address, you get to see it before they do.
For subscribers, this will give you an idea of the physical things I create and ship worldwide. They keep me sane and help me find my peace.
Have a Fabulous Weekend!
Every order is carved individually by hand, in the order that they are received. Some weeks are busier than others. I usually carve and ship within 3 to 5 business days.
If you are enjoying what you see… I like it hot and black. 😉
